WENGER’S FUTURE IS SET TO BE REVIEWED
Gunners to decide in May
ARSENE WENGER has revealed that his Arsenal future will be reviewed at the end of this season.
The Gunners boss (right) signed a new two-year deal at the end of last term and is aiming to see out his contract, as he always has done.
But, speaking during yesterday’s AGM, he said: “I must tell you, my hunger, my commitment is bigger than ever. But
I accept, when you have been a long time at a club, everyone
questions that. I question myself a lot to be better every day and I will sit down every year with my board to see where I go.
“But I would just like to assure you my hunger to be successful with this club is absolutely huge and, no matter what happens one day, I will always love this club for ever and be an eternal fan.”
Asked to clarify, having raised the possibility he may leave earlier than expected, Wenger later added: “I have been at the club 21 years and I want to feel I do well and see what the board thinks of my performance and, after that, we decide where we go.”
Wenger also issued a rallying cry to angry fans, following three defeats in the opening nine games and said: “Be behind the team.
“I acknowledge they lost three games they shouldn’t have lost, but I think as well that there is huge desire and potential to do well.”
