I think he should be removed. Clearly there are issues behind the scenes and when you slag off your players in public its never a good sign. It all began on the first day with his absurd attack on the Lady Doctor.

They need a fresh start and an easy win over Sunderland should be a good way for the new manager to settle in, though it will be an interim manager until the end of the season. Its happened  before. Di Matteo did a good job and won the Champions league

When he left Stamford Bridge after his first spell, it was said that he "left by mutual consent", which I always thought was effectively a sacking.

That's how they are calling this one as well - pay-off to the end of the season rather than his 4 year contract.

Can't say I'm surprised if I'm being honest. His team have had a nightmare of a season so far and it would appear he'd lost the dressing room.

After he goes I think it's very unlikely that a manager at any given club will last even half as long as he's been at Arsenal for and SAF at Man Utd, to give you two examples from the modern era of football.

Bournemouth's Eddie Howe next longest serving after Wenger, at 3 years! Less than half of the EPL managers have been in post for more than a year.

I would say anything of 5 years and over is long-term in EPL, but that may be revised downward...
