ARSENAL fans are FURIOUS after the club announced that Arsene Wenger will be staying on at the Emirates.
The French boss, 67, formally signed a new two-year deal – despite massive fan pressure for the long-serving manager to leave.
Wenger said: “I am grateful to have the support of the board and Stan in doing everything we can to win more trophies.
“It’s what we all want and I know it’s what our fans around the world demand.”
But his words – or Kroenke’s, who said Wenger won’t leave until they win a title – didn’t wash with fans.
Kroenke said: “Our ambition is to win the Premier League and other major trophies in Europe.
“It’s what the fans, players, staff, manager and board expect and we won’t rest until that is achieved.”
