‘Wenger Out’ Poster Was Spotted At WWE WrestleMania 32
A ‘Wenger Out’ poster was spotted at WWE WrestleMania
32 on Sunday night, as
one intrepid Arsenal supporter took the anti-Wenger
protest stateside.
The embattled Arsenal boss is facing
the most difficult period of his 21-years in charge at the club, with aggrieved
supporters hiring vans and light aircraft to pressure the Frenchman into
stepping down at the end of the season.
And now one supporter has even taken
the campaign to the US, holding a Wenger Out banner at the WWE Showcase of the
Immortals event.
But the WrestleMania crowd were not
united in their disdain for Wenger, with another fan being snapped wearing an
Arsenal shirt and proudly holding a ‘Wenger In’ sign, posing in front of the
wrestling ring.
This is not the first time that a
Wenger Out banner has been spotted in an unusual place.
A large banner even appeared at a World
Cup qualifier between New Zealand and Fiji, which was attended by just 500 people.
Wenger has repeatedly insisted that he
will not retire at the end of the season although he has remained ambiguous on
his future at the club.
However, after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday, Wenger claimed that the
performance could act as a turning point for the rest of the season.
"Mathematically, it's not the best
operation today, not for City and not for us. But we have the confidence gained
and we have to restart now," Wenger said.
"We started with a high level of
anxiety and were punished straight away. Overall I felt it was a mental test
and overall you could see the team was touched on the confidence front. The
fluency of our game suffered.
"We have shown great mental
resource. The worst time in a football game to concede is just before
half-time. On top of that, we lost (Laurent) Koscielny and in the second half
we came back to 2-2.
"Overall it will help us to build
confidence because the players certainly showed some mental strength and that
will help us to come back to our natural fluency." (Independent)
