Arsene WengerLondon: Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has called on struggling manager Arsene Wenger to step down as reports suggest succession planning at the club has already begun. Arsenal are 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham in the Premier League and look likely to miss out on Champions League football for the second consecutive season. "There are excuses (from Wenger) and he is mollycoddling a team," Wright told BBC radio. "Arsenal are not in a position where they can go from someone like Arsene Wenger, who we love so much, yet who you mention to some people in the fan base and their faces screw up. I would not want that to happen to Thierry, because he has taken the job straight after Wenger."
