As Arsene Wenger quits Arsenal after 22 years in charge... Sportsmail's writers answer whether now was the right time for him to leave or should he have left the Emirates sooner?

Arsene Wenger stunned football on Friday morning by announcing that he will finally step down as Arsenal manager at the end of the season after 22 years in charge.

The 68-year-old Frenchman, who joined Arsenal from Nagoya Grampus Eight all the way back in 1996, has won 10 major trophies during his time in north London and will be remembered as the club's greatest ever manager.
