Yep sounds like he was pushed. There is an article in The Times where they basically said the board told him to walk or they would fire him.Originally Posted by Vieira
That's unlike Arsene. I would have expected him to have made a long, emotional speech when addressing the players. Seems to me he might be pissed off. Something clearly happened yesterday. One minute he was saying he wanted to give Santi a new deal and overnight he's decided to walk.
Reckon he's had a meeting with the board where they've hinted he's getting hooked and Wenger has decided to do it on his terms.
The appointments of the Director Of Football from Barca and the Scout / Head Of Recruitment from Dortmund were quite clearly strategic moves made by Gazidis to remove the remaining bits of power away from Wenger aside from managing the team.
I do think that the likes of Gazidis have been sounding out possible replacements all season hence all the rumours etc.
