Wenger's final season after 22 years in charge is destined to end in disappointment after Thursday's Europa League semi-final exit to Atletico Madrid. Wenger claimed it was his commitment to remain with the club that helped to secure bank loans needed to build the stadium. He was so tied to the move, Wenger even helped in the design of some parts of the stadium such as the dressing rooms. We had restricted finances, we had to pay back a huge amount of money and we had to sell our best players," Wenger told BT Sport ahead of last season's FA Cup final.
