Yes i know i had another story but it has been closed due to a crash dump. I started the game in January 2011 to try and make it lifelike and because i feel Wenger would not leave Arsenal that's why he is joining the board.
Wenger steps down and joins Arsenal board
Wenger has failed to get his hands on any trophies since the 2005 FA Cup Final
After a 2-1 loss to Birmingham in the Carling Cup Final 2011, Arsene Wenger has decided it is time for someone else to try an bring silverware to the Emirates. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger refused to blame his players after their 2-1 Carling Cup defeat by Birmingham.
A mix-up between goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and defender Laurent Koscielny allowed Obafemi Martins to stroke the ball into an empty net on 89 minutes. This was Arsenal's first opportunity to win a major trophy in 6 years since his side beat Manchester United on penalties to win the FA Cup in 2005 and he was pleased with the teams performance despite loosing out at Wembley.
Zigic gave Birmingham a first-half lead but Robin van Persie's spectacular volley restored parity before the interval in an enthralling Wembley final. Martins, on loan from Rubin Kazan, took advantage of a fatal communication breakdown between Gunners goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and defender Laurent Koscielny to strike the late blow that clinched victory for Blues boss Alex McLeish and his men, sending their supporters into ecstasy.
The striker, on as substitute for Keith Fahey, had the simplest of chances after Koscielny attempted to clear when Szczesny came to collect Nikola Zigic's tame header to extend the north Londoners' six-year wait for a trophy.
This is what Wenger had to say on joining the Arsenal board;
'I am very happy that i was allowed to join the urm... the board here at Arsenal. This is a club close to my heart and i wish never to part from this magnificent football club. I feel my decision to retire from football management was the right one as i have failed to win the club a trophy in six years and i feel that the club and it's wonderful fans deserve a major trophy as they have been through loads together. I am also pleased to hear that the fans are not going to turn against me after my decision to step down as manager and i wish my successor all the best and i will be helping him out at the same time as doing other stuff for the club'
