Arsene Wenger insists he has no plans to leave Arsenal in
the summer and says he respects his contract at the club.
The Gunners have endured a disappointing run of form since
the turn of the year and are now in a battle to secure a top-four finish having
slipped out of contention for the Premier League title.
Reports in some of Wednesday's national newspapers claimed
that more than 2,500 tickets for Thursday's home match against West Bromwich
Albion have been made available by Arsenal season ticket holders. However Arsene Wenger is unconcerned that
some Arsenal season ticket holders have returned their tickets for their game
against West Brom
But Wenger, who is contracted to Arsenal until May 2017, was
unmoved when asked if recent results, as well as banners protesting at his
continued role, could force him to reconsider his position.
"I do not want to come back on that, I respect always my
contract," he said when asked about remaining in charge.
When pushed further he replied: "I've just answered
your question."
A banner calling for Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal has been
shown a number of times in recent months
Arsenal have won just twice at home in the Premier League
since February and Wenger admits the club's fans are allowed to make their own
minds up in regards to attending the clash against the Baggies at the Emirates
Stadium.
"Look, everybody is free to do what they want with their
season ticket," Wenger added.
"We have to live with that. It's a Thursday night, it's
unusual. We just had a disappointing result at home, maybe that plays a part as
well. First of all it's not experienced yet and we have to live with that.
"But we have to take that with distance as well, and
focus on our job. The emotional part in our game is always very high but
changes very quickly as well.
"Judgement from people is something we have to live
with. It's down to us to change that belief and judgement."
