Long gone are the days when Arsenal was that invincible group of players commanded by a Frenchman who had a different idea of how to play football in England. English goalkeeper David Seaman was a part of that team by the end of the last millennium, he even won two Premier League trophies with that manager next to him. But today that he doesn't seem to find a way back to earning some silverware, David Seaman is asking all the naysayers to give Wenger more chances to prove himself and turn things around for the Gunners.
Seaman is convinced that if they sack Arsene Wenger, Arsenal won't have a good enough base to keep competing at the highest level of competition. This is something that nobody can deny the manager, he's always been a protagonist in Arsenal's participation in the Champions League without exceptions. Seaman spoke to Talksport and discussed why he thinks it's a really bad idea to sack the French manager.
"Arsenal had a good season. It wasn't brilliant because we didn't win anything, but to finish second is a great achievement. But there are still doubts - doubts over the manager and the team and whether it can push on. For me, Arsene is the best. I love the guy and I certainly don't want to see him leave. I've worked with him and know how good he is. More and more fans are getting on the Wenger Out bandwagon and I'm just desperate for him to win the league again just to shut everybody up."
"I think the only way you would be able to stop the fan backlash is by signing top quality players. We need the finished article, not the young, up-and-coming guys. But what frightens me is that if the club don't go out and buy these players in the summer, and Arsene does leave, where does that leave Arsenal? A lot of fans think the base that Arsene has set is the standard, but it won't be. It will fall below that if we get a new manager in."
