Do I work somewhere else or not? What do I do? In the job I do will I be free on the day Arsenal plays? “I’d be happy to be in the North Bank. If you can offer me a ticket. The positive of that is I can shout at the next manager!”Wenger has faced plenty of criticism himself in recent years, with Arsenal having slipped from a once lofty perch, but the 68-year-old claims he has learned to turn a deaf ear to detractors. He added: “Fortunately in my job you learn to disconnect from yourself. You don’t analyse anymore how you feel. For 20 years I forgot about me and just cared about the problems I had to sort out.  “I must say when you’re such a long time in the job and people ask how do you feel you think ‘why does he ask me that, I don’t know how I feel.’ I have to learn to reconnect with myself now I have more time.“It’s a new start for me.”His impending departure has been welcomed by some in north London, but Wenger hopes that his legacy will see him remembered for the many good times he has brought to Arsenal over the years. “Sometimes to make people happy you have to go somewhere else,” he joked. “I want to make people happy because I have a certain idea of the game, the football to be played.  “My ambition was always to win with style. When you’re a big club you have that responsibility. For the supporters to have a special experience when they come to the club. That was always my target: making people happy.”</blockquote>
