Gooner Fanzine editor Kevin Whitcher has been one of Arsene Wenger’s fiercest critics over the last decade. Read on as he shares his thoughts on a momentous day at Arsenal.
Kevin Whitcher:
Today is a day of mixed emotions for many Arsenal fans.
But the overriding feeling is one of relief that the club can now move on from an era that saw eventual decline as Arsenal ceased to be genuine title contenders.
This announcement will re-unite the fans base and we can all get behind the team 100 per cent for the rest of the season knowing change is on the horizon.
It feels like the buzz is back and I am sure the crowds will now return to the Emirates too.
