5 things Arsenal must do right away to resolve the Wenger crisis

#1 Restore the Arsenal pride and also that of Arsene Wenger

The Frenchman was instrumental in getting Ozil to commit to the club.

The pride of Arsenal Football Club is hurting - badly. And measures need to be taken to restore the club to the echelons of world football because that's where it deserves to be.

We cannot discount the effort of the Frenchman in making Arsenal the global brand it currently is today. The quality of football that Arsenal fans demand was institutionalised by Wenger at the club.

He is the main reason why Arsenal went from "Boring boring Arsenal" to the free-flowing footballing club it has now become. Despite his flawed transfer policies, the manager has been able to attract top talent in world football - with the likes of Mesut Oil, Alexis Sanchez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all moving to north London at different times in their respective careers.

Therefore, the board and management needs to rectify the situation that the club as-a-whole now finds itself in. The manager needs to be given due credit for what he has achieved at the club and the toxicity surrounding the head coach needs to be decontaminated by refocusing all the attention on the team and what they do on the pitch.

Arsenal needs to let it's football do all the talking. And the only way that can happen is if the unpredictability of the club is addressed by drawing out a timeline for the recovery process that club now has to undergo.

Announcing that Wenger will step down next season and putting a face to his successor will go a long way in jump-starting that particular process.
