Wenger Has Overstayed His Welcome As Arsenal Manager - Ex-Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood

Former Arsenal chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, has said that manager Arsene Wenger has overstayed at the club.

Hill-Wood was the man who appointed Wenger in 1996.

The Frenchman is under pressure, following a series of disappointing results, including back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Manchester City.


Senior officials at the Emirates have reportedly drawn up a list of possible replacements for Wenger.

Hill-Wood, who stood down as club chairman in 2013, believes the time may have come for Wenger to end his 22-year association with the North London club.

“I clearly am not very happy about what is going on,” Hill-Wood told the Daily Star.

“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. I find it very sad because he was the great love of many and then it [overstaying his welcome] has destroyed it all.”
