"Some devastating news now for Arsenal fans. Arsene Wenger has stepped down from his post as manager of the club......."
This was all anyone had heard for the past week, "Wenger Quits". I have never known such a reaction to a manager quitting before but I guess it was him.
The news though was not met with the reaction most pundits thought it would be, fans were shocked but not worried. "It's a chance for a new set of ideas at the club now" one said the evening the news had broke and the vast majority agreed with him, Arsene Wenger had done all he could for the team it was time for someone else to have a crack. Never thought it would be me though.

"So Mr Thomas how does it feel sitting here as manager of Arsenal Football Club?"
I guess I should introduce myself for those who don't know me, my name is James Thomas, my playing career with West Ham was unspectacular but I managed to carve out a good reputation among the fans and even some appearances for England. I got on well with most managers in the league and would pick their brains after each game if I could. I moved into coaching after I retired 4 years ago and went abroad to Dutch side Willem II as a youth coach for a year. It was not a huge success and I was sacked before the end of the season.
I decided to try my luck in Portugal and landed the first team coaches job at Acedemia. Again not a great year for me but I must have impressed someone because I landed the managers job at C.S. Maritimo for the following season. My record was impressive given the squad I had and I managed to guide them into 5th place and the Europa League in my first season in charge. Injuries (God I hate that ****** word) stopped us from progressing and a 9th place finish was all we could achieve and now I am here, sitting at the press desk of Arsenal Football Club being introduced as the new manager of the club.
