There has been huge fan unrest in the last few months. Following a run of poor results, Arsenal fans have begun to voice their outrage and displeasure with the club’s position.
There have been multiple banners calling for Arsene Wenger’s resignation, but now the fans plan to target Arsenal’s owner, Stan Kroenke.
According The Evening Standard, The Black Scarf Movement, REDaction and the Arsenal Supporters Trust are among those urging fans to hold up banners which read, ‘Time for Change. Arsenal is stale, fresh approach needed’, for Arsenal’s game against Norwich.
The fans have become increasingly frustrated at Arsenal’s almost yearly collapse. The club were top of the table at the turn of the year, but now are fighting to stay in the top four. Many have attributed this to Arsene Wenger, and his reluctance to spend money on new players.
The Black Scarf movement released a statement explaining the planned protest.
Whether it’s the manager, whether Stan Kroenke has to go and whether the board needs shaking up and reminding that we’re a FOOTBALL club, change is needed at Arsenal. A fresh approach to bring some excitement back to this great club of ours.
We are seeing the same failures year after year, and amid rumours that Arsene Wenger may be given a new three-year contract there really seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Kroenke and the board are seemingly content with Champions League cash, so outside of finishing fourth in the league there is no pressure at all on the manager. This isn’t good enough.
Regardless of the planned protest, it seems Arsene Wenger will fulfill the remainder of his contract. Moreover, the board the seems content with Wenger as manager, something which might change if Arsenal fail to get into the top four.
