Everton ready to offer Wenger soft landing

EVERTON are set to offer Arsene Wenger an immediate return to Premier League management if he is sacked by Arsenal.Wengers Arsenal reign hit its lowest point as his side crashed to defeat at Brighton, the first time they have lost four games on the trot in 16 years.The Wenger Out banners were out in force at the Amex Stadium while sections of Arsenals travelling fans chanted for the axe to fall.But the under-fire boss is wanted by Everton owner Farhad Moshiri, who feels Wenger is the ideal candidate to revive the Merseyside clubs fortunes.Asked if he feared his long reign as Gunners boss was coming to an end, Wenger replied: I dont want to talk about my future today. At the moment, my future is not my main worry.My worry is to get Arsenal winning football games. Then well see where we go from there. Ill try and give my best as long as I am here.It remains to be seen whether Arsenals board are ready to show Wenger the door, either before the end of the season or in the summer when his contract will still have one more year to run.But Iranian billionaire Moshiri is already preparing for life without Sam Allardyce, who looks on borrowed time at Everton after they slumped to their sixth successive away defeat at Watford on Saturday.And Wenger is top of Moshiris list for the rebuilding job at Goodison Park.Prior to Moshiris Goodison investment he was involved in Arsenal, owning 15% of the club alongside Uzbek-born Russian business magnate Alisher Usmanov.Despite Evertons interest, Wenger, 68, maintains he is still the man to rejuvenate Arsenal.Ive done it before, he said. I believe a quality of manager is to try and shorten a crisis, and I believe I can do that.Those Arsenal supporters calling for his head will take some convincing, while Arsenal skipper Laurent Koscielny claimed Wenger must take his share of the blame.The player has responsibility on the pitch and the boss has responsibility too said Koscielny.We need to be together. Its difficult to say its his fault or our fault. Its everyone in the club.The post Everton ready to offer Wenger soft landing appeared first on The Nation Nigeria.
