Despite losing three of their first five matches of the Barclays Premier League resulting in the worst start to a season in the club’s history since 1953, Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger will not be fired. The statement came from Arsenal’s Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis since Wenger has come under fire by both disappointed fans and critics. Gazidis stated at the Sport Industry Breakfast Club in London in support of Wenger that he “is not a broken man. He did not suddenly become a bad manager or somebody who became out of touch with the game. It is complete nonsense. Firing him is not a road we are going to go down.”

Wenger, who has managed Arsenal since 1996 has not won a Trophy for the club since the 2005 FA Cup.

In the previous three of five opening matches of the Barclays Premier League, Arsenal lost 2-8 to Manchester United in an embarrassing performance, 0-2 to Liverpool and 3-4 to Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal will face Bolton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium on the 24th September in the next match of the Premier League.
