Gazidis happy Arsenal boss Wenger silenced his critics

Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis is happy manager Arsene Wenger silenced his critics last season.

There were calls for Arsene Wenger's head when Arsenal lost three of their opening five games - one of which was an 8-2 drubbing at Manchester United - but Gazidis is glad the club kept faith with their manager of 16 years.

He said: "This football club was placed under terrific pressure at times and I think, for a different club, there would have been the possibility that we would begin to fall apart, panic and make decisions that would have been bad. That is not what happened."
