Arsenal
fans in the United Kingdom are currently mounting massive pressure on
the leadership of the North London club to axe Arsene Wenger over the
horrendous performance of the club in the English Premier League this
season.

Arsene Wenger
Arsene Wenger has called on Arsenal fans to turn out in force for
Tuesday’s game against Sunderland rather than take part in a boycott
designed to hasten his removal as manager of the London giants.
The veteran French boss has still to announce if he will be staying
at the Emirates Stadium when his current contract expires at the end of
the season.
The Gunners have just three games left before their campaign
concludes — two in the Premier League against Sunderland and Everton
before an FA Cup final newly-crowned champions and London rivals
Chelsea.
In marked contrast to the Blues, Arsenal have not won the English
title since 2004 and Wenger has come under renewed pressure this season
with his side in danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League.
Arsenal have finished in the top four of every full season since
Wenger took charge 21 years ago but, after Liverpool’s 4-0 win at West
Ham on Sunday, they now need slip-ups from either the Merseysiders or
Manchester City to help them maintain that proud record.
This season has already seen a number of ‘Wenger out’ protests by
supporters groups, including planes flying over grounds carrying
messages urging the 67-year-old to quit and marches before games, with
some empty seats visible at recent Emirates fixtures.
Now there are calls for a mass boycott of Tuesday’s match at home
to Sunderland. But Wenger, who yet again refused to comment on his
Arsenal future, said Monday: “My message is always the same, it is to support the team.
A statement on onlinegooner.com suggested that Atletico Madrid’s
Diego Simeone or Juventus’s Max Allegri would now be better at managing
Arsenal than Wenger.
The statement then asked fans not to turn up at the game against the Black Cats.
