Arsene Wenger reconsidering his stay in the Club

The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger is reconsidering his stay at the club after Saturday’s shocking defeat to fellow title rivals Chelsea at the Bridge. The Mail on Sunday is suggesting that a well-informed sources close to the manager revealed that he is now rethinking his future following the defeat last Saturday.

It is no secret that Wenger had on several occasions expressed his desire to stay on; but continue to deny anything was signed already as regards his contract extension. The manager who saw his 1,000th game as the man in charge of Arsenal turned into a huge embarrassment when the team was badly humiliated 6 nil by Chelsea declared to the press after the match that he assumed full responsibility for the loss.

Just last night on Twitter, rumours and stories of Arsenal canceling today’s press conference were all over the place. It is not yet known if this cancellation has anything to do with the match last Saturday since it was not the first time the club was cancelling a pre-match conference.

Over the years, the Gunners have been subject of heavy and biased media criticism. The media have reported a lot of stories that have either turned out to be exact opposite of actual happenings in the club or failed to report things the way they should be reported.

It would not be the first time the media is speculating about Wenger’s future as stories similar to this have been reported in the past. Only last week, the press linked Arsene with Barcelona and PSG; a story the manager promptly denied as untrue.

Though, Arsenal fans seem divided on whether or not the ‘professor’ should stay; Wenger still enjoys the support of majority shareholder of the club, Stan Kroenke because his managerial style suits the club’s policy.

Some fans believe the manager has lost the plot considering how he sets his team up to play against the top clubs. This season, the Gunners have only won one match against other fellow title contenders, and are also out of the Champions League.

The question that normally comes up when the manager’s future is being discussed is: “who takes his place?” Who takes the place of a manager who has been in the helm of affairs at the club for 17 years?
