Arsenal Sacked Wenger, He Didn't Step Down - Jack Wilshere by reportminds: 2:38pm On Aug 12, 2018
Arsene Wenger was sacked by Arsenal, says Jack Wilshere, with that decision stunning everybody at the club and leading the midfielder to make his own summer exit.

The long-serving Frenchman announced in April that he would be vacating the position in north London that he had held for 22 years.

At the time, Wenger said: “After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season.”

Wilshere has now suggested that the three-time Premier League title winner was forced into that decision, rather than it being mutually agreed.

The England international told Football Focus on that decision, which came as he was weighing up his own options in the final year of his deal: “I was in the last year of my contract, and I spoke with the manager at the time, Arsene Wenger.

“And he said that they won’t be offering me a new deal and that I could leave.

“But at the time I was injured and it was difficult, because I wasn’t fit and I wasn’t playing, and not many teams wanted me injured.

“So I decided to stay and I got back into the team and they finally offered me a deal in January which was ready to sign, and then Arsene got sacked.

“It was strange, everyone was just shocked and Per Mertesacker, the captain, said a few words, and I think everyone was just in shock.

“It was strange. No-one really saw it coming, but it changed everything, and I wanted to wait to speak to the new manager.

“And I did, and he was brilliant, he was honest with me.

“He said you can stay, but you won’t be in my starting XI, so I thought it was the right time to finally leave.”

With the managerial baton having passed to Unai Emery, Wilshere found himself on the fringes of Arsenal’s long-term plans.

The 26-year-old opted to walk away as a result, with a 17-year association with the Gunners brought to a close.

After dropping into the free agent pool, the all-action midfielder crossed London to sign for West Ham on a three-year contract.

Lol...

If there is something I love from white bosses, it would be their sincerity.

Wilshire said that Unai Emery told him that "you can stay but you won't be in my starting XI"

Helping him to decide his future...

Unlike our Nigerian CEOs...

This happen to be a medicine after death.
.
Emery did a good thing by telling him his mind.
All these English players in Arsenal FC are just occupying space without productivity in Wenger's later days; hopefully, this will change with the new coach.

But that’s been in public domain for long, even Wenger admitted that it wasn’t his decision to quit...

As a Man Utd fan, I wish Wenger had done better in Europe or even managed other clubs when he was in hot demand

Most of us had that feeling that he was actually sacked but they didn't want to ruin his reputation and as a result, they made it look like he agreed to leave on his own decision.
