Wenger To Resign Immediately If… by balash(m): 9:16am On Mar 15, 2016
Reports from the UK on Tuesday say that embattled Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is quite likely to resign his position on one condition.

According to reputable British tabloid, Daily Mail UK, in an exclusive report on Tuesday morning, reports in the Emirates Stadium say that should fan protests continue, Wenger will resign his job.

According to the report, the management of the club feel that Wenger, who has one more year on his contract after this season has earned the right to determine how he wants to leave having managed the club for 20 years.

The report says Arsene Wenger is concerned that growing supporter unrest could force him into an early Arsenal exit — despite having the unequivocal backing of the club’s board.

Owner Stan Kroenke has given the beleaguered boss his full backing despite the team’s alarming slump in form. Arsenal are 11 points adrift of Leicester in the Premier League title race and were dumped out of the FA Cup at home by Watford on Sunday.

The team faces Barcelona in the Nou Camp on Wednesday needing to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit to progress to the Champions League last eight.

Fans clashed outside the Emirates following Sunday’s Cup exit and, should the mutiny in the stands get worse, Wenger could do the unthinkable and leave before the end of his contract.

Sources, Daily Mail reports, insist Wenger is as determined as ever to continue, but increasing bitterness from supporters who once revered him has shaken the manager.

Wenger has always maintained he will leave when he no longer feels he is the right man for the job. And the behaviour of fans until the end of the season could be pivotal as English football’s longest-serving current boss ponders his future.

The club has won three Premier League titles and six FA Cups under the 66-year-old — and there is no prospect of Wenger being sacked.

Kroenke fully expects Wenger to remain in charge until at least the end of next season, when his deal expires, but the club are developing a succession plan for when he does call time on his distinguished Gunners career.

That is a clear indication they believe their manager’s time at the club is drawing to a close and they are considering potential replacements. Pep Guardiola was viewed as the ideal man, but the Spaniard has committed himself to Manchester City.
