Arsenal players felt the wrath of disgruntled fans following their crushing 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday.
But the manager and the Arsenal board have now finalised details over a two-year contract extension and are ready to fly in the face of growing unrest by announcing the deal before the end of the season.
After a shock defeat to Palace, Craig Burley lambastes Arsenal's ownership for having let Arsene Wenger remain in power.
78 per cent of the AST's 1,000 respondents in a recent poll said they had lost faith in Wenger and feel he is no longer the right man for the job and they reaffirmed that statement during their discussion with the club on Tuesday.
And the former Celtic striker believes a new manager can get more out of the current crop of players at Arsenal.
"Now it's time for him to go", Hartson said, saying Arsenal's showing against Palace was "inept - there was a lack of leadership, a lack of togetherness". "That's all I can say".
"They bottle it, they're cowards, they duck out of challenges", was the scathing verdict of former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports.

Cries of "Arsene Wenger we want you to stay" came from the Palace fans, followed by "we want four". The contracts with Sanchez and Ozil.
The back-page headline in The Times, a riff on Palace's nickname, read: "Eagles 3 Butterflies 0".
Ian Wright played for both Palace and Arsenal and believes Wenger may have now lost the trust of his squad, posting on Twitter after the game: "Wow, some of the comments I get from Arsenal fans on here".
Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini sympathises with Gunners fans left frustrated by the ongoing issues at the club. He joined the club for the first of his two spells with them in the summer of 2004, when they were invincible, and he was a key member of the team that surged to the Champions League final in 2006.
It has been unclear all season whether Wenger would decide to stay on at the club and he has constantly refused to answer questions on the matter. All five teams above Arsenal won over the weekend and the club's only chance of silverware this season is in the FA Cup, with a semifinal against Manchester City coming up later this month.
