Arsene Wenger has again ruled out leaving Arsenal before the end of his contract - and hinted for the first time he could stay past 2014.
The Gunners boss, 63, still has another season left to run on his current deal, but has been linked with a summer switch to big-spending Paris St Germain.
Wenger, though, stressed his only focus was on securing Arsenal a top-four finish in the Premier League again and then planning to further strengthen the squad in the transfer window, with the best part of a £100million warchest at his disposal.
Speaking at Friday morning's media conference ahead of the trip to relegated QPR, Wenger said: "I answered that question already. I respect my contracts.
"I want to stay (on past 2014) if I do well and if I consider or the club considers that I do well, that is all.
"I want this club to do well, that is my basic feeling.
"We have gone through a period that was very sensitive, we are coming out of it now, in a much stronger position financially.
"I believe the club is in a very strong position for the future."
Arsenal have endured a very tough season so far, a situation that saw them crash out of all winnable competition that participated in. The biggest worry of the fans have been the habit of Wenger and the board of directors letting go of their key players and not being able to replace them adequately.
Under Arsene Wenger Arsenal have never missed out of the UEFA champions league, so too under his regin Arsenal have lost close to a dozen of their key players, such as Henry, Masri, Pires, Van Persie, Alex Song, Helb, Kolo Toure just to mention a few and have endured an eight years trophy drought/
Wenger has continued to insits he is going nowhere despite offer flying in from PSG, Monaco and Real Madrid, the deciding factor here is not Wenger's determination to stay but do Arsenal fans and board members still want their Manager?
