At this time a year ago, Arsenal were second on the premier league table and were with belief that it could be their season after 12 years without a premier league title. Fast forward a year later and things couldn’t be any worse for the club and its manager. Arsenal currently lie 5th on the premier league table and have just been humiliated out of the champions league with a 10-2 aggregate defeat to German champions Bayern Munich, their star man Sanchez is reportedly unhappy and is touted as wanting to move away and has had a falling out with manager Arsene wenger. There have been times like this in the past where things have been grim at the North London club but this time it seems it could be a sign of things to come if they don’t act fast and sacrifice their long standing manager and inject a new level of ambition and desire to the emirates once again.
Over the last few weeks, fans have called for the axe on arsene. This shouldn’t be news though because it is not the first time in recent years that fans have protested against the manager who has always had the backing and support of the arsenal board. It feels that this time there is actually a need for fresh ideas in the Arsenal changing room, the protests this time around has led to an increased awareness and recent results have also led to more scrutiny of Arsene’s position. Last week, there were rumours in the papers that Arsenal had struck a deal with Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri to take over at the emirates this summer but both parties denied this claims. Reports like this might have no truth in them but they do not deny the fact that arsene’s time is up and there are great candidates out there to replace him.
Arsenal is a club that has a rich tradition and should be gunning yearly for the title and be a strong contender for the champions league, Arsenal’s board should do the fans and players a favour and let wenger have a rest, he has been a great servant of the club, he has always been a great manger and a good influence to the boys on the training ground as well but if we are to move forward then we must depart from our old ways and usher in the new day of youth and adventure that has characterized the play and look of the club in recent years.
