Soccer – Wenger axing not an option

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis has ruled out sacking Arsene Wenger, despite Arsenal’s poor start to the new season, which has left them 50/1 with bookmaker to win the Premier League.

Wenger has come under scrutiny as the Gunners have won just one of their opening five league games, shipping 14 goals in the process, including four in the 4-3 defeat at Blackburn Rovers last weekend.
However, Gazidis says that making a change is not even an option, with Wenger having been in charge at Arsenal for more than 15 years.
Gazidis said at the Sport Industry Breakfast Club in London: “(Sacking him) is a route we are not going to go down.
“We will be unmoved in the way we do things and will not be swayed by talk of a crisis. We need to stick together.”
Arsenal already trail champions Manchester United by 11 points, with the Red Devils 4/6 to retain their crown after five wins out of five.
