ARSENE WENGER WAS non-committal on plans to extend his contract, with the Arsenal manager insisting talks will not take place until the end of the next season.
Wenger – out of contract at the conclusion of the 2016-17 Premier League campaign – has come under fire from sections of Arsenal’s supporters following another unsuccessful title challenge.
Arsenal’s wait for a first Premier League trophy since 2004 continued as Leicester City stunned the world to claim the title, with the Londoners 12 points off the pace in third.
Fan frustration has since risen to an all-time high in Wenger’s 20-year tenure and the 66-year-old Frenchman gave no indication that he could prolong his stay beyond 2017.
“I will wait very late, yes,” Wenger said having already dismissed talks of a contract extension. “Does that mean no talks with the club next season? Exactly.
“It’s not about me, it’s about the club. My role is just to serve the club as well as I can and after see where I stand and where the club is.
“I have to forget about myself even if people who want to create unrest won’t. I will continue to give my absolute best to do well next season and then after that, we’ll see. Have I decided what I will do privately? No.
“I extended my contract in a period that was vital for the club and after that I will see where I am personally and where the club stands.”
Imagine they sack him and miss out on top 4 next season
Arsenal fans are idiots. Wenger built that club. If he leaves they’ll be struggling to make the top half of the table.
Wenger built the club? I think you’ll find that Arsenal had plenty of success before Wenger and they will have success once he’s gone.
Really? I’m not an Arsenal fan but a quick Google shows one league title since the 30s before Wenger arrived. Is that plenty of success? Arsenal have won more under Wenger than their entire history combined. I repeat. Arsenal fans are idiots.
I think you did too quick a search they had more than one since the 30′s
You realise that only a small minority of Arsenal fans want Wenger to be sacked? Maybe next time use your brain and get your facts right before labeling an entire fan base idiots.
How can you google and fail so badly?
Arsenal have won the league in the 40s, 50s, 70s, 80s and early 90s before wenger, on top of FA cups,league cups and the cup winners cup. If you’d care to elaborate why arsenal fans are idiots?
Being a Spurs fan says enough about you…no name calling required.
Wonder will he spend big if it’s his last summer..
Gooners are complete to$$ers, been saying it for years (this comment has nothing to do with rivalry!)
