After the recent distress shown by fans towards Arsenal’s lack of activity so far this season in the Transfer Window, Arsenal Chairman Sir Chips Keswick has decided to take matters into his own hands; sacking former manager Arsene Wenger after a 16 year spell at the club.
When questioned, Keswick said:
“In his 16 years at the club Wenger revolutionised Arsenal football club, winning 4 FA cups, 4 Community Shields and 3 Premier League titles. However Arsenal football club has not won a significant trophy in 7 years, and this had to change.”
“We were growing increasingly frustrated with Arsene’s lack of ambition in the transfer window. There is only so much quality youth that can be brought in. We need a talisman, a marquee signing. Someone like Henry whose goals helped bring success to Arsenal for many years.”

Wenger responded by saying:
“Firstly, I’d like to thank Arsenal for everything they did for me throughout my 16 year spell at the club; however I’m disappointed at the sudden sacking. I cannot just enter the transfer window and spend money for the sake of spending money, the right players need to come up, and be interested in signing for me for reasonable wages.”
This sacking comes as a great surprise, especially after the retirement of legendary manager Ferguson from Man Utd earlier in the summer. After appointing Moyes as Man Utd Manager and the recent sacking of Wenger it occurs that the three longest serving managers in the Premier league have lost their posts, something of a shock to many football fans out there.
Bookmakers have made Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is the favourite giving odds of 6-1, with QPR’s Redknapp also touted an outsider with odds of 12-1.
This comes as some surprise, especially considering recent reports suggesting that AVB has already rejected potential jobs at Real Madrid and PSG this summer.
