Basham retires
After a long and successful spell at Arsenal, Louis Basham has decided to retire from the Football Association as Premier League champion.
This retirement is surprising and unexpected, the 26-year-old newcomer walked into Arsene Wenger's shoes back in July 2013 and achieved fantastic things for the club. On his first season managing a team, he captured the Capital One cup with a narrow 1-0 win over Everton in the final. He scored a total of a magnificent 149 goals this season and only conceding 59.
Louis Basham was very vacated in press-conferences as the press were more used to seeing his assistant manager - Steve Bould. Basham's Arsenal side had a win percentage of 68% throughout this season. Arsenal chief's supposedly offered Basham a contract of £130,000 a week to continue his spell at Arsenal, but Basham declined.
At the beginning of the season, Basham said assertively: "This Could Be The Year" and people laughed and doubted the new manager. Basham is the only one laughing now.
