All Change at the Emirates!

After Seven seasons without a trophy the arsenal board have finnally lost patience with long-serving manager Arsene Wenger.

After 15 years of loyal service the 62 year-old french man has been fired as manager of the north-london club. Fans had been calling for the managers sacking for several seasons after watching there club go longer and longer without a trophy. A statment on the Arsenal Website said "We are saddened to announce that the board have have decided to terminate the contract of Arsene Wenger." It went on to say "Arsene has been incredibly loyal over the last 15 years but after Seven seasons without a trophy his position became untenable." "We will never forget what Arsene did for this club but there becomes a time when loyality can only count for so much and we hope that the next manager will hopefully win a trophy for the great club"

No-One really knows but the early bookmakers favourite is long-serving Everton manager David Moyes, who hasn't won a trophy with Everton in Ten seasons, aswell as Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti and Lyon boss Remi Garde. Arsenal legends Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams and Steve Bould are also contenders with the bookies for the job, as is un-known manager Dragan Stojkovic who Arsene Wenger has said he would like to take over the club.

Arsene Wenger has also released a short statement in which he announced his sadness at leaving the club but that he understood the boards decision, it read " I am saddened that the board have decided to terminate my contract but I undertsand why they made the decision. Seven seasons without a trophy for a club as big as Arsenal really is unnaceptable and I hold no grudge against the Board, the fans or the new manager, whoever that may be"

good luck mate !

Cheers Mate

Former Arsenal Defender Sol Campbell believes a new manager with new ideas is needed.

Former England International Sol Campbell believes that the Arsenal Board should be looking to appoint a new manager with new and fresh ideas; "Arsenal need a new manager with fresh ideas, something needs to change at the club, they need to stop selling there best players and they need to sign some world-class players" he said in a interview excluesively on Sky Sports News.

When asked on what went wrong for Arsene Wenger, Campbell had this to say "I think it was his stubborness, he refused to spend a lot of money even when it needed to be spent, plus he put his faith in players who were not good enough to challenge for trophies. Arsenal have been going down-hill for a long time now and Arsene has done nothing to stop the rot, thats why he's been fired"

And when he was asked what the new manager needed to do he gave us this answear "First of all he needs to get rid of all the deadwood thats at the club, eating away at the wagebill then he needs to strengthen the squad, a new defence would be handy, aswell as a central defender and some players who can score goals"

After a successful playing career at the club Dennis Bergkamp has been confirmed as Arsenal manager and in his first press conference confirmed that there will be a lot of change at the club. When asked by Sky Sports Jim Smith what would change Bergkamp had this to say "Well first of all, I will be getting rid of all the players who don't have the ability to play for Arsenal, replacing them with players who are, I also have different training methods to the previous manager, and a few other things will change but they are the most important."

When asked, by a BBC Journalist, wheather he thaught he was good enough for the job, Bergkamp had this to say "Do you think the board would of appointed me if I wasn't? I learned under great managers as a player and my most recent spell at Ajax has helped me a lot."

When asked what his transfer strategy was he replied "Well I will of course look at players who are good enough for arsenal to start with, but I will also be looking at young players and players from the Lower Leagues in England" When asked by a Sun Journalist what style of play he would play he had this to say "I want the club to play passing football that will please the fans, I also have a formation thats new to the english game but I think it will work very well.

Arsenal have announcded the sales of Lukasz Fabianski and Andre Santos to Gladback and Malage respectively. Former Arsenal & Poland Number 2 joins Borussia Monchengladback for £2.2 Million and Brazilian Left-Back joins Malaga for £3.5 Million. Both players where obviously surplus to requirements with new manager Dennis Bergkamp.

Both Players were subject to critism from some Arsenal fans over the last couple of seasons with both players failing to impress. Fabianski was number two to Wojech Szczensy, with Santos rotating with Keiran Gibbs for the Left-Back posistion. Arsenal are believed to have an intrest in Blackburn Goalkeeper Jake Kean to replace Fabianski but it is not known wheather Bergkamp has a replecement lined up for Santos.

Bergkamp had this to say on the players sales "I would like to thank Lukasz and Andre for there contribution to Arsenal, however I have no room for them in my first team, so it was best for all parties if they left the club as soon as possible, we feel we got a fair price for both players and we are now looking at which players to bring in to improve the current squad"

Promosing English Left-Back Keiran Gibbs has joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan, in which Villa will pay 100% of his wages. This transfer leaves Arsenal with no left-backs so it remains to be seen who Bergkamp will buy to replace Andre Santos and Gibbs. The 22 year-old Gibbs has had injury problems over the last 12 months, it is believed that Bergkamp wants to see wheather he is good enough to compete in the Premier League.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert had this to say on the Loan Transfer "Keiran is a fantastic player and I think every Arsenal fan relieases what a big transfer this is for the club, to get a player of Keiran's Quality for a year will help us in our battle to stay in the Premier League, we will send him back to Arsenal as a stronger player."

In other news relating to Arsenal 24 year-old third choice goalkeeper Vito Mannone has left the club to join Dusseldorf on a four year contract, the transfer fee is undisclosed but believed to be around £1.1 Million. This leaves Arsenal with only One recognized goalkeeper, so Bergkamp will have to buy someone in this position.

looking good mate !

Good start! Interesting to see who you bring in at leftback, wonder if you will bring in Monreal.

Cheers again Mate

Yeah, I'll be playing a 3-4-3 so there will be no Left-Back

Good idea mate, hope it goes well. Interested to see what happens.

I've gotten bored of this already, may start a new one soon if I find the right team, suggestions would be welcome

I would prefer a International team
