Wright: Wenger needs to give Arsenal fans an answer

Will he stay or will he go?

That question has been hanging over Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s head now for the best part of two months following the Gunners’ mid-season collapse, and club legend Ian Wright has had enough.

The North London side dropped down to sixth in the Premier League table and were humiliated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League in what has been a tumultuous period at the Emirates.

Their last chance of silverware is once again in the FA Cup – where they face Manchester City in the semi-finals – but fans have been calling for the head of the French manager after almost 21 seasons at the club.

And Wright – who scored 128 Arsenal goals and played under Wenger before being sold to West Ham – believes it is only fair for Wenger to let the fans know his decision.

“This is typical of the lack of leadership and direction at Arsenal. No one is making any decisions. Who’s running the club? Arsene is, obviously,” he said.

“He’s in the position where he can just do what he wants. He should be forced to say what he’s going to do.

“Somebody upstairs should be telling him, ‘Either you’re staying or you’re going. You must make an announcement’.

“Arsenal and the fans need stability over what is going to happen with the club’s future.

“The people above Arsene, if there is anyone, need to sort everything out. This wouldn’t happen at any other club — but it is at Arsenal because the board are so happy and so relaxed.

“They’re fat cats, business people. The club’s just a massive cash cow to those people. All they’re doing is ignoring the way fans feel.”
