Arsenal fans and pundits have to move on from Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger took charge of his final Arsenal game on May 13th 2018, a cool 16 months ago and you would have thought that is long enough for people to move on but nope, that is not the case for some.

Anyone checking the comments on here will see how regular Wenger’s name is raised, it is not always negative, some want him back but a fair chunk of it is negative.

It is not just the fans that cannot seem to shake off the Wenger era, former Gunner turned TV pundit Paul Merson, only last week was asking if Unai Emery is Wenger in disguise. I do wonder what Wenger that would be, the one that failed to evolve or the one that created a dynasty, that won the double and created the invincibles?

It is like an obsession that some are finding very difficult to let go, this Arsenal team is moving on significantly, fewer and fewer of Wengers players are around, the board has changed, there is a new backroom set up, new transfer policy and so on and yet, the name of Wenger is still there.

AFTV has a video up titled Emery or Wenger, in all fairness, it is about tactics but one has been in the job for one season the other for 22 years, hardly a balanced comparison.

Obviously, you cannot erase the memories of Wenger, overall he is a legend and he will always be remembered but this is a new era under a new manager and people really need to move on.
