Arsenal’s board remain 100% behind manager Unai Emery, according to the Athletic journalist David Ornstein. The reliable reporter claims that the Gunners feel that performances will improve under the Spaniard, and they will only review his progress next summer.
The London club’s 2-0 defeat to Leicester means they are now eight points off the top four, following just four wins in their first twelve league games this season. Supporters on Twitter feel that the board’s refusal to take action could lead to further unrest among the fanbase:
This will get toxic . Club haven't been properly managed for 5 years. Watch the empty seats.

Now I know I can unsubscribe my sports channel for the year, and probably next year too.

The board need to act, Emery has lost the plot…

They are obviously not watching the same football. They risk losing Auba as well, why would he want to stay ? Delusional.

Results under Emery have declined alarmingly in recent weeks and the loss at the King Power Stadium highlighted the stark contrast between the Foxes’ progress under Brendan Rodgers and the stagnation that has set in at the Gunners.
Of course, off-field issues such as the situation surrounding Granit Xhaka have not helped, but the lack of a game plan or any progress on the pitch is the main source of frustration for fans.
