Wenger insists 'I am not in politics' after latest plane protest banner

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists he will not
be influenced by the latest banner unveiled by
protesting supporters, explaining he is not in
politics and only focuses on football.
The Gunners romped to an impressive 4-1 away
victory over Stoke City on Saturday, keeping their
hopes of a top-four finish alive courtesy of a
double from Olivier Giroud as well as strikes from
Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
But a plane banner with the words, 'Wenger – Out
Means Out' was flown over the bet365 Stadium
during the game as uncertainty continues to
surround the future of the Frenchman, who is out of
contract at the end of the season and yet to
announce his plans.
An anti-Wenger banner was also flown in the away
match against West Brom in March.
"I am not influenced by that at all," Wenger told
reporters after the match.
"I want to focus on football. I am not in politics. All
the rest, for me, is less important.
"I am in sport, I love sport, I give 24 hours a day for
what I love and all the rest - I am in a public job,
some agree with me, some do not. But I have no
special opinion on that.
"I am paid to do my job, for a club I love, and I will
do that as long as I am here, with full commitment.
I have nothing else to say."
