Eidevall needs to go. Not because of this though, rather because the club won't win the league with him at the helm. We're further away from challenging Chelsea now than we were two years ago.

Not sure why the assumption is this was not Vivs choice. All the interviews she has done and comments reported made it sound like she was not impressed with jonas. Arsenal have underperformed for the resources he has available for over 2 seasons. If I were Viv and I thought my boss was an incompetent idiot (which is the impression she gives of her opinion of jonas) I would leave. It’s v demoralising to work for someone you do not respect. And she would not be offered a contract if she has given the impression (again) that she doesn’t want it. Jonas does a fair bit of punditry on uk tv and surprisingly doesn’t come across as particularly sharp. Viv is meant to be a smart footballing thinker (previous coach and other players have said) so with jonas’ ego this would cause friction neither would enjoy.

If it was up to me I'd get rid of Eidevall

She gave everything her i watch wsl only for viv, me out arsenal women fan 🥲

Zero chance of Miedama going to an American team-lower quality league, and terrifying anti-gay, anti-woman politics, and with Trump about to steal the election and destroy democracy. Viv is Dutch, not stupid.

So sad about Miedema, such a great player, a fabulous and honourable woman, the perfect role model for young players, and a tremendous boost to women's football.

the most annoying thing for me is the fact that she isnt even old, shes only 27 shes got another 3 seasons top of her game and then another 4ish where they put her in for big matches where they need experience like lucy bronze, rachel williams, beth england type stuff. We've seen players play exceptionally all the way until 36 so getting rid of 27 year old Miedema because she's injured and aging is stupid imo

He needs to go. This is just another in a long list of mistakes by Jonas

Its the classic conflict of the passion of the fans vs the ultimately the club being a business. My passion as a fan says she has to stay, but the small practical voice in my head says what can the team do with her large salary for other player(s) to be recruited. I am not convinced she will go to Man city either - i think for her family she will go to another london club to stay close.

Total dick move🤮

Even though I assume that it was joke, but saying that the fans stick around for the players is wild and really shows why we are just that, fans. It´s sad, but just like you said it´s sports. Viv stayed when she could have been playing in Barcelona, but that was her choice. Let´s not kid our selfs and think that Viv only stayed out of the kindness of her heart. If she felt that Arsenal couldn't match her ambitions she probably would have left back then. Just as much a club can think that the ambitions can match, but tactically they can´t. It´s not like the club knows that keeping Viv is an absolute guarantee of winning the league next season and then said no? It happened in the men´s team, albeit no one is near the same status and achievements that Viv has. Ramsdale was in the team of the year in premier league but still got replaced the season after. Özil and Aubameyang are other examples, but then again, it´s sports. Do I think Jonas is the best coach? No. Would I´ve loved for Viv stay? Absolutely. But do I think that Jonas and the club has the right to do what they believe is best for the club? Yes. Whether that was the right decision will be revealed in the future. Players stays and end up regretting staying. Some leave for them to wish they never left. Club keeps players and later regretting not letting then leave. Just as much as clubs let players go and end up regretting it big time. What we as fans feel for a club or a player doesn´t always correlate with what the club or the player want. It´s just sports.

Miedemas better than Russo and Blackstienus put together. If Arsenals willing to let a player like Viv go then there’s something wrong with who ever made that decision. Appalling. Best of luck K Viv hope you stay in the WSL and score against the Arse.

It'll be interesting to see where she goes next. Providing she and Beth still together I guess she'll stay in the UK. It's a long but feasible weekend commute to Manchester, even so I would have thought Chelsea would be more of a logical step for her. Of course we don't know the extent of her injury problems, which may be a factor in attracting interest from other top clubs.

I find this to be the most bonkers decision for so many reasons. It's almost as if they said, "we can't be bothered to deal with her anymore". Viv is a generational player. Like Sam Kerr, Alexia, Hegerberg, Popp, Harder, Bonmati, etc.. you don't let them go. They leave you. I'm the furthest thing from an Arsenal fan and will say they all deserve better than Jonas. Viv is so talented, and her football intelligence is second to none. I hope wherever she goes, she gets back to her best and shines brighter than ever before.

Hoje com Viv fora do clube podemos ver que muito deste video faz sentido e que Jonas está arruinando o Arsenal, ele definitivamente não sabe lidar com as jogadoras.

Afraid I can no longer support Arsenal while he is Manager, going Saturday to say goodbye to her and that’s it.

Can u pls do a mcfoord!

I reckon that Viv stayed with Arsenal last year to be with Beth and support her after the death of her Mother. Selfless human being. Wish her all the best and I'm sure she will get back to her best. What a superstar ⭐

WE WANT THIS MANAGER GONE GONE GONE ! HE IS RUBBISH I STOOD BY HIM Far too long his choice is the worst with a big club, I will LOSE ALL RESPECT FOR VIV AS IT IS OBVIOUS MONEY UNDER THE RICHEST CLUB ANYONE BUT CITY IS A TOTAL INSULT

Who can say if Eidevall is behind this? I don’t rate him anyway - losing to Liverpool, Paris, spurs & West Ham is entirely on him. But losing Viv in this manner is like waking up from a car crash having had a limb amputated - I’m shocked and it bloody well hurts. And putting her in a position where she walks to city on a free is just barking mad. Let alone the swarm of utterly bereft Gooners! Shame on you, Arsenal.

Is there a salary cap? I didn't think there was. I could maybe understand the decision if there is a salary cap given the injury history. But otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Hello Sara and Sarah. Vivianne seemed to have dug a hole for herself by criticism of money running the game at a time when Arsenal are off to Australia to make money. She is part of a couple in the team and Chelsea just moved on a vocal half of a different couple, after Emma Hayes comments. I am not so surprised.

Time to get rid of Jonas, useless

His hand was on Viv and the way she reacted proved it wasn't friendly. He shouldn't have touched her.

OK, OK, this door has closed. Take your skills and knowledge to an up and coming club. Negotiate just like bechman did when moving to the states. You get the idea. The world is open now to women's soccer.

My number ONE player always. Hi ViV❤

Reading here about being out in the cold and forced to leave. Jordy hinted something about this. She had to leave if she would take a spot in the England team due to game time. In Arsenal she had very little forcing her to leave the club. She was a long timer like Viv. How is Viv's former partner Lisa doing? Oh right, she was in Arsenal too. Time really flies. Well I was considering if Arsenal needs to open up a slot for a future Barcelona player. Given a team can't have too many foreign players?

Surprised Viv is not getting a contract offer for at least a year. Will never understand if she ends up at City how Arsenal would want to potentially strengthen a rival team squad. Also when you look at Arsenal this year there were poor results but also a lack of goals compared to Chelsea and City. If I was Tony Bloom and David Weir at Brighton one of best run clubs in the UK. I would be trying to get Viv and she could take club to the next level along with existing players and new additions. I do think Arsenal will miss her goals

(Arsenal fan) I only wanted Hurtig to leave, and a couple of players to come in. Had we kept the squad together we'd have been in strong position for next season. We will bring in quality players but we're taking unnecessarily steps backwards and new players will take time to integrate

Man United supporters would love it if she went to Man U - revenge for Russo

The worst decision arsenal have ever made. You don't get rid of your greatest talent. That jonas has a lot to answer for. If I was the club owners, I'd be getting rid of jonas and giving viv a nice 2 Yr contract. Give the coaching job to Kelly Smith. Arsenal legend.

I think that; Okay it’s sad for Arsenal and the whole picture of the team. That shows so much family minded team and know each other for a long time. But Viv has never make a secret that she has a wish to play for another team in the future. So ok it’s sad and good to speculate about this but I think it’s a good decision. New club, new environment and people and hopefully she recover so well that we can see the real 🐐 again. I think she is going to manchester city so she can play with Jill Roord. They are playing together for years. On and off the field have a good click and she is near her home so she create a comfortable environment in both ways. Greetz from 🇳🇱 🧡

Sadly it doesn’t matter whether you work for a blue chip company or a football club you are just a number it’s all about the $$$$ feelings and emotions and fans don’t matter it’s all about the control, boss and bottom dollar. Being an Aussie I’m glad we still have Caitlin Steph and Kyra. Obviously Arsenal don’t expect their fans to be loyal as Arsenal are not loyal to their players. Best of luck Beth and wherever Miedema ends up I hope she rocks it and her best football is yet to come.

Man city is a 6 hour drive from London. I know because I drove it many times when I lived in London

I would love to see Viv at City but don’t think she will stay in the WSL . Mariona Caldentey rumoured to be going to Arsenal

No player no manager no one is bigger than any club. Arsenal have been under achieving . The manager in this case Jonas has been trying to a advance Arsenal women's football cause. He has to deal with a number of egos and this summer will be very important for his own future. There's a 'clique' mentality in Arsenal and that has to change. If players can't adapt then move on. Others should go too. So many of the players that Jonas has brought in are being stifled by the 'clique'. Just an observation and personal opinion. Arsenal need to lose the soap opera attitude. Viv in my opinion mentally left Arsenal 2 1/2 seasons ago. COVID and ACL injuries have been an obstacle for her. She herself claims that RVP is her idle and her career in North London mirrors that. Best wishes Viv and thank you for your service.

Let's down Jonas from the club ✊

I seriously hope she doesn't go to city .so sad to see her go😢

Yes , Jonas and Viv didn't see eye to eye and she was played out of her natural position, his style of play didn't suit her. Man city would be ideal.

Looks like the teams are finally divesting from LGBT players 👍🏿👌🏿

I hope she comes to the US

the positive for Beth is that she probably lives in St Albans like the other players and so if Viv joins City she won't have to drive in London to get to Manchester - GMaps says 3 hours 15 minutes from there to the Eithad, and they could meet in Birmingham, about 1.5 hours for each of them. not ideal but not a relationship-breaker

She's the highest goal scorer in the league but has said multiple times she wants to play in midfield. If she was willing to play as a 9, she could compete with Russo and Blackstenius but I don't think she'd get in any major European or competitive WSL team at 8. As a business, you can't pay someone to be the leagues best striker when she's insisting on being a mediocre midfielder. It's sad but maybe now she'll realise she needs to back down and play up front which will only benefit her career

didn't like Jonas' dismissive attitude, but we don't know the full story. also Paior and Mariona have left/look llke they'll leave their clubs, maybe part of this is that Arsenal have bought one of those two (probably the latter)

You all must of missed all the interviews where Viv mentions not staying long.. she didnt wven want to renew her last contract and did last minute. Players can choose to leave! Why is everyone saying its the clubs fault😂 Viv has had issues w jonas from the start w several outbursts on the sideline. It wasnt working. They dont have the same plan. Im not even a jonas fan but he's the coach..and not the only one offering the contract.. so everyone blaming him is so weird.

Arsenal wants to win titles and trophies, especially with the roster of players it has. Winning 2 successive League Cup titles is nice, but definitely not enough. Maybe Arsenal thought the Viv's progress was just not enough to help the team. Of course the salary aspect also plays a role. Arsenal definitely wants new signings that will help to achieve its main goals: WSL title and Champions League. Hope that Viv won't move too far from Beth.

Remember Viv said once there's life after soccer!!!Viv and Beth I think is solid I mean DVD moved on now engaged very happy!! Who's to sat Beth won't move on also and one point there are some of Vivs frei ds playing at Man city bei g Dutch team mates!!! Can't see her leaving Beth I mean they recovered from Acl together!! Take care

It’s a loss for Arsenal. Jonas is a arse! He is a self absorbed individual

You don’t know the difference between London (Arsenal) and Manchester( Manchester City) !? Lol Gosh

Greetings from Malaysia, Jonas Eidewell is a prick. He is the one that should be sack. Look at how the team plays. Lousy and mediocre manager. Don't know which players to put in the games. His coaching style will not beat the other top clubs from Spain, France and Germany How can you let the best player like Vivianne Miedema go? Yes, she cannot play fully now because she is injured. She didn't ask to be injured. But Jonas Eidewall did not give her a chance to play. Vivianne Miedema sacrificed by not going to other better clubs two years back. But when they treat you like a commodity and a liability, you are nothing to them except their money making machine. You can see that when Miedema did not play, the Arsenal team did not fare well. Arsenal club is a heartless club. When you cannot perform anymore, will treat you like rubbish and not offer new contract and force you to leave. Arsenal loss but Vivianne Miedema will come back stronger anywhere and show Arsenal what they loss and beat Arsenal because of their stupidity. Vivianne put Arsenal on the map by being the best time record goal scorer.. I became an Arsenal fan because of Viv but I will not be an Arsenal fan anymore. And it is for better for Vivianne Miedema to go if the club doesn't appreciate you It all boils down to pounds and cents Vivianne will learn to not to let her emotions rule her heart but only do things in her best interest from now onwards. I believe Vivianne will win more championships and more trophies where ever she is going and what Vivianne is going through now only a minor setback. When Vivianne is fully recovered we will see her best form yet.
