Arsenal Players Disappointed, Wenger Under Pressure To Resign And Possible Repla by phantomayo: 10:36am On Mar 01, 2018
Columny sports revealed that Wenger’s position will be reviewed at the end of the season and the club held a board meeting on Monday with growing doubts among the hierarchy.
Wenger, 68, knows he is under massive pressure to get into the Champions League and winning the Europa League looks his only route.
But he claims to be “amazed” that his position should even be questioned.
He refused to answer whether his job depended on qualifying for the Champions League, saying: “I don’t want to come out always on that, I have answered that already. Yes, I answered that question. Our target is to qualify for the top four, of course.

“I have been here for 21 years, I turned the whole world down to respect my contracts. So I am still amazed that I still have to answer these types of questions.
“My job is to protect the players and to get them to focus on the next performance. I am responsible.
"I get the plaudits when it goes well, so I have to take the bad when it doesn’t go well. It’s part of the job.”
The Arsenal hierarchy have already begun succession planning and majority shareholder Stan Kroenke's son Josh is taking an increased role at the club.
They are drawing up a list of potential replacements with Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim and former Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta - now at Manchester City - at the top of the list.
The board meeting was called to rubber stamp the club’s latest financial figures - which showed a pre-tax profit of £25.1million for the six months ending 30 November 2017 because of big money sales last summer - but there is a clear message from above that time might be up.
