Arsene Wenger should certainly be used to the annual protests from Arsenal fans that think he has outstayed his welcome at the club, and one of his most vociferous critics over the last few years has been the TV motormouth Piers Morgan, who regularly calls for Le Prof to resign like many knee-jerk fairweather fans.
This years protests against Wenger seem more widespread due to the crazy results in the Premiership, which has been perceived as Arsenal’s best chance of winning the title as the other top sides have fallen by the wayside, so you can imagine how annoyed Piers Morgan was when he got told yesterday that Wenger has already got a new contract offer on his desk.
And he followed that up with…….
Obviously Piers has a lot of high up contacts, at Arsenal as well as in the media, so if he believes what he has been told then we must assume it came from a reliable source, but I’m not sure that I understand why he is so upset. But another thing to understand is that Wenger never signs a contract until the end of any season, and he may even prolong the wait into next season, as he has always made it clear that he would step down if he couldn’t take the Gunners any further.
This year Le Prof has seemed more riled than usual by the fan protests and may decide he is too old to put up with it any more, but then again, what else would he do if he resigned? He has lived and breathed Arsenal for the last 20 years. How would he cope without the football and the pressure?
And what would Arsenal do without Arsene?
