Arsenal may need a new manager… but Arsene Wenger will NOT be sacked - Ray Parlour
ARSENAL should start putting plans in place if they want a new manager with fresh ideas, claims Gunners icon Ray Parlour.
Arsene Wenger manager profile
Arsene Wenger, who has been in charge of the north London outfit for 18 years, has come under pressure in recent weeks following his side's dismal start to the campaign.
Rumours have circulated in recent days that Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp could replace the beleaguered Wenger.
Although Arsenal qualified or the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 15th consecutive season with a 2-0 win over Dortmund last night, Parlour believes the club may need to look to the future if they wish to shake things up on the managerial front.
"As long as the club have a plan [for a new manager], I am okay with it," Parlour told Sportlobster.

“If it is better for the club, you do what is right for the club. Nobody is bigger than Arsenal.
“I am biased towards Wenger because I played under him, but his methods now are exactly what we did.
“If the plan is for fresh ideas and the right person becomes available, then it is something to look at.
“But it is Arsene’s decision. He’d never be sacked.”
