Ex-Gunners chairman says Wenger may have to leave

Arsene Wenger has been told he may have to leave the Gunners in the summer, by the very man who appointed him.

According to a report from the Daily Star, former chairman Peter Hill-Wood admits that it could be time for a change.

I clearly am not very happy about what is going on, I think that there probably ought to be a change of management. He has done fabulously well, it is just he has overstayed his welcome.

Despite the Frenchman still having another year on his contract, there have been calls for him to step down at the end of the season.

Two emphatic defeats to Manchester City have highlighted the Gunners’ decline this season as they face the prospect of finishing outside the top four for a second successive season.

Arsenal are 10 points behind local rivals Spurs, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League spot.

The Europa League has been identified as the club’s best chance of securing a route into the Champions League next season.

However, a tie against an in-form AC Milan side will only add more pressure on the Frenchman.
