Arsenal great Parlour expecting Wenger to stay

Ray Parlour believes Arsenal will not get rid of Arsene Wenger at season's end.

There have calls from many corners to remove the Frenchman from his post after another failed season former Gunners midfield ace Parlour suggests there will not a change at least for another 12 months.

"I don't think he'll leave, I think he'll be there next season," he said on Sky Sports.

"It's a situation where Wenger will decide when he leaves, and he's been there so long he probably deserves that.

"But it might be his last season next year, at the end of his contract. At the moment it's going to be difficult for the board to get rid of Arsene.

"You always worry about which manager comes in next. Who would you have? Jurgen Klopp's gone to Liverpool, Pep Guardiola to Man City. There aren't a huge amount of managers out there.

"It's a big decision they've got to make. If you're going to sack a manager you've got to have a plan. And if they don't have a plan then they've got to keep him."
