That is apparently Gazidis' favorite, or who he's had his eye on. Him, Mislintat, and Raul all have their own favorites at this point it is said.

I do think they'll make an appointment as early as they can—or at least I hope they do. With Raul at the helm, I don't think we'll waste time as he's been through this many times before.

Time to take a trip down memory lane.

Felt like this has been a long time coming but still never really thought about it actually happening.

The last vestiges of my childhood slowly slipping away rofl.

It's going to be truly bizarre to see someone other than Arsene on the sideline during an Arsenal match. He needs/deserves a break from the hate.

This is getting spicier tbh.

From the quotes given and some whispers from non-trash journalists, it's almost beginning to sound like Wenger isn't retiring by choice.

I don't think he is retiring, he's just leaving Arsenal. Also it wouldn't surprise me if they approached Wenger and told him they intended on taking the club in a different direction, and that he should take that into consideration.

If anyone thought Wenger woke up and decided to resign one day is delusional. The man has stated that he doesn't know what a life outside of football is like. There is a literal 0% chance Wenger made this choice alone and with 0 pressure.

I think at minimum he felt he could face the sack and decided to act before that occurred. I believe it was sudden, however, as it came out of nowhere. I don’t believe there wouldn’t have been rumblings if this had been something being discussed.

I don’t believe they flatly told him leave in your own or else, but I do think he made the decision knowing it could come to that.

He’s a very proud man, and I’m not at all surprised he’d want to go out on his terms as much as possible.

Sounds like Steven Gerrard might be taking the Rangers job if the media is to be believed.
