I have got a lot of respect for Arsene Wenger but, reluctantly, I am in the 'Wenger Out' campaign.

Ben Hardy

Arsene Wenger is a legend in the English game.

Jamie Carragher

When I told Arsene Wenger I was leaving, he said to me, 'I have £25m to spend on a few players.' My answer was, 'Obviously, Mr. Wenger, you are not shopping in Harrods. That will only buy you one good player.' Now I have been proved right.

Patrick Vieira

If you gave Arsene Wenger eleven players and told him to pick his team, this would be it.

Andy Gray

Arsene Wenger is just an unbelievable manager. I think he's a tremendous person, and he is just as good as there is. You can't judge a manager on one game or on one stretch of games. You judge him over time.

Stan Kroenke

The chairmen of the largest companies in the world can cancel an appointment or move a board meeting; a manager cannot change the date of a game. In the combined 42 years that Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have managed in English football, I can only remember one occasion when Sir Alex did not attend a Manchester United game.

Howard Wilkinson

Arsene Wenger wanting me was a big factor. When I first saw him, I was a bit scared, like he was a person from a different planet. I would never in my wildest dreams have thought I would be talking to him, let alone playing for his team.

Andrey Arshavin

Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.

Robert Pires

If Arsene Wenger came down to League Two he would have to adapt, he couldn't work in the same way he works at Arsenal.

John Barnes

I don't see myself coaching because the intensity of that is massive, and the intensity as a manager, for example Arsene Wenger, is even more.

Per Mertesacker

Arsene Wenger has got to unlock the purse strings

John Motson

There was a moment when Thierry Henry returned to Arsenal for a game against Leeds, and the whole of the ground was waiting for him to come on. He came on and he scored. And he went right down the pitch, and jumped into Arsene Wenger's arms. At that moment I was bawling my eyes out. I could see how much it meant to him.
