That's all good and well but does Arsene Wenger want Allegri to replace Arsene Wenger?

That's all that matters as he rules the club

This comes to no surprise. He's only capable of managing a team that has very good players in it already.

Like a few of us have been saying, he's another Wenger.

Anybody seen this yet?

Former Arsenal and Celtic star Charlie Nicholas has claimed that Arsène Wenger will announce he is stepping down as the club's manager 'either on Friday or over the weekend'.

The Frenchman's latest barrage of criticism came during a four-game losing streak, sparking the resurgence of Arsenal's infamous 'Wenger Out' brigade.

Although victories over Milan and Watford have helped temporarily keep Wenger's critics at bay, Nicholas believes that Wenger's announcement will offer the club the best chance of winning the Europa League this season.


"I also have a feeling that there might be an announcement by the manager either on Friday or over the weekend to confirm that he is going to step down in the summer,” Nicholas told Sky Sports.


"Perhaps going upstairs, easing the tension and allowing the team to have a go for the Europa League without the same strain."

Nicholas also claimed that although there is a lot of animosity surrounding the club, which at times is very toxic, the Arsenal faithful don't resent their long-lasting manager.

"He knows the fans don’t hate him, they’re just angry with him," he added. "But it was the first time I’ve heard him use the word ‘hate’ and I just think he’s realising he needs to do something to ease the anger.

"I think when he looks up and sees 25,000 fans in the stadium he created that he’ll come to a decision that something has to change."

Yeah. He's done this a few times now though. I remember him saying it on Sky Sports last year around this time but he wasn't as precise this time.

Who knows.

It would actually make perfect sense though. Get tonights tie out the way and then announce that he's leaving so the entire club and fanbase get behind the team for one final push under Wenger to win the Europa League.

Sounds too good to be true though.

Imagine Wenger going upstairs.

Right! Seems like it would almost be worse then.

Appears to have been taken out of context.

Another Wenger

Wow

The lack of knowledge is astounding

Ancelotti is the biggest Must Get this summer

Seen Cole's tweet and it looks like he was backtracking a fair bit.

Not seen the whole interview but I can't comment.

It wouldn't be anything new anyway. Anyone that watches his teams play can see that Ancelotti is just there to set the team up. Bayern players exposed his useless methods and coaching on the training ground.
