Pressure upon Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger has escalated in the last one week after the club's
damaging 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.
Several fan sites and fan
groups have called on Arsene Wenger to leave the club once his contract expires
this season as he has been at the club for 20 years and there hasn't been any
tangible success in the last decade except 2 FA cups and constant champions
league (top four) qualification.
But Arsenal's chairman,
Sir Chips Keswick, has released a statement regarding Wenger's future, saying
the club won't be making any hasty decisions regarding Wenger's job till the
season's end.
Keswick said:
“We are fully aware of the
attention currently focused on the club and understand the debate.We respect
that fans are entitled to their different individual opinions but we will
always run this great football club with its best long-term interests at heart.
Arsène has a contract until the end of the season. Any decisions will be made
by us mutually and communicated at the
right time in the right way.”
Wenger, reacting to fans
displeasure at his stay in the club said in a press conference on Friday:
“I have worked very hard for 20 years to make
our fans happy and when you lose the games, I understand they are not happy,”
he said.
“I do not want to judge
that, I am not able to. I live in my daily work with my complete commitment.
After that, I have said many times that you have to accept different opinions.
“And of course the fans’
reaction will impact my decision. You consider everything. It will not be the
most important factor but of course, you consider it.”
