ARSENE WENGER haters are still trying to force the boss out – despite his new two-year contract – with a Wenger Out sign at England’s cricket match at the Oval.
An unhappy Arsenal fan unfurled his red and white banner against Bangladesh on Friday where Joe Root & Co were chasing 306 runs in the sun.
After lifting the FA Cup at the weekend, the Emirates boss signed on the dotted line on Tuesday – in a 24-month deal with NO break clause.
Wenger said: “I love this club and I am looking forward to the future with optimism and excitement.
“This is a strong group of players and with some additions we can be even more successful.
“We’re committed to mounting a sustained league challenge and that will be our focus this summer and next season.”
Anti-Wenger fans won’t be happy at the prospect of 23 years under the Professor – especially after they finished 18 points behind champions Chelsea.
Visual protests against the Arsenal leader have popped up all over the globe with signs and flags in South Africa, Baghdad and Zambia.
