Arsene Wenger passed up the chance to reject speculation that he was forced to stand down as Arsenal manager after overseeing Sunday's 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham at Emirates Stadium.
It was announced on Friday that the Frenchman's 22-year reign would come to a close at the end of the season, but not everyone is convinced he made that call entirely of his own volition.
Rumours over the 68-year-old's future had lingered for a long while before this week's news amid growing fan unrest, although Wenger felt he addressed all he needed to in his initial statement.
