Silly move in my opinion. He'd only just won them their first double, and coming 2nd is no huge failure after a success of a season like last year was for them.

Not sure who they're expecting to be an improvement.
Sacked by a bloke called Ron in a corridor by all accounts. No class.
As much as I think Wenger should be under more pressure it would be just mental for any Arsenal manager to be under that kind of "win the league or you're sacked" pressure. It's a nonsense decision. Can we have him, Arsenal board kthxpls?
Well Abramovich's plan of changing manager so often hasn't failed him in his quest for the Champions League yet has it..
Whilst I agree that sacking Ancelotti is stupid, his record this season has not been good.
Lost the league (although coming 2nd is not too bad); but his team was 15 points behind the previous season's total.
Lost the FA Cup, to Everton at home in the 4th round
Failed to win the CL but did go one round further than last season.
seems like a crazy choice...but why should we expect nothing less of a club that sacked a manager who was within a few inches on winning the CL.
Chelsea might have bought their way to the top but they'll never buy the class United, Liverpool and ourselves have.
