Arsene Wenger deal won’t silence the protests

Arsene Wenger may have finally put pen to paper on a new two-year contract at Arsenal yesterday, but if he believes such a move will spell an end to unrest among fans he will have to think again.

Last season the level of discontent among Gunners fans reached heights unseen before during Wenger’s 21-year reign at Arsenal.

There were banners, marches, empty seats at the Emirates and even planes flying over stadia around the country carrying messages demanding the Frenchman leave.
