Arsenal legend Paul Merson says some Arsenal fans delight in seeing Arsenal lose. He says they believe it will hasten the departure of Arsene Wenger. He also condemned Wenger for not making the decision on his future known yet, calling it arrogant. Maybe some fans have even gone as far as praying on the mountain that their beloved team should lose, since they have not been able to support them to win.
“There are fans that want them to lose now,” Merson said.
“I think we have got to the point where it doesn’t make any difference whether Wenger stays or goes. The season has fizzled out so much now that the fans don’t really care any more and they have lost a bit of interest.
“I said last year that if they didn’t win the league in a year when Leicester won it, then there is a big problem, but that has been the story year after year for a long time now. It is the same year after year and the fans have had enough of it.
“The trouble for me is the power he has there. Wenger does everything at Arsenal. No one tells him anything and it feels like there is an arrogance about him that is not nice. He keeps telling us he will decide what [he] will do on his future. That is not right.
“The problem is, what will he do if he leaves Arsenal? He is not like Sir Alex Ferguson who can go and have a nice day out watching horse racing. Arsenal is his life. He doesn’t want to give that up.”
Arsenal are in sixth position in the Premier League and are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, were they are billed to play against Manchester City.
