Wenger drops Real hint to fed-up fans

ARSENE WENGER has given the first indication that his commitment to Arsenal could be faltering by admitting that the prospect of taking charge at Real Madrid is “attractive”.

Wenger has been consistently linked with a move to Real, despite spending 13 years in London, and Florentio Perez, who is expected to be re-elected as the club’s president this summer, is believed to have placed the Frenchman at the top of his preferred list of replacements for current incumbent Juande Ramos.

Wenger has always maintained that his loyalty to Arsenal is unwavering, but after receiving a frosty reception at a shareholders’ meeting last week and criticising supporters for making him feel like “a murderer” for failing to contend for the Premier League title this season, his comments, which were made to a French television station for whom Wenger works as a pundit, could be interpreted as a warning to fans not to try his patience any further.
