Not surprisingly Arsenal's form this season has got the papers talking and everyone is speculating as to what will happen next at the Emirates.
The most sensational claim comes in the Mail on Sunday who reckon Wenger could be replaced by current Barcelona boss SB in the summer.
The paper says that: "Senior sources at Arsenal have indicated that plans are being discussed to move the Frenchman into the boardroom after another season of disappointment looks certain to condemn the club to missing out on a trophy for the seventh year running."
Convincing SB to leave the Barcelona for a club struggling to even make the Champions League seems like it might be a tough ask for Arsenal but the Mail uses quotes from the man himself on Saturday night to try and build on their hypothesis.
SB has been working on a rolling contract for the last few seasons and would be a free agent in the summer and has yet to sign a deal to coach Barcelona next season.
"I can't be at such a demanding club without being certain that I have the strength to do it,' said SB on Saturday night, in response to questions about a new contract.
"I still don't have it clear in mind. When I am sure then the club will know. To renew my contract, I have to feel it. We have been together for four years and the decision needs to be thought out thoroughly.
"I feel that it is better to have a bit more time. If that is okay then fine, if not then too bad. I have to be true to myself."
Speculation continues.
