The Gunners boss spoke to the press ahead of his side's FA Cup quarter-final encounter with non-league outfit Lincoln City and, unsurprisingly, was quizzed about his future at the club following Arsenal's Champions League humiliation against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Arsenal supporters once again staged protests calling for Wenger to be sacked ahead of that clash after another underwhelming campaign and, in quotes published by football.london, the 67-year-old admitted the negative reactions from the Gunners' fanbase would play a significant role as to whether he would commit his future to the north Londoners.
