Arsenal fans have raised over £2,000 in a bid to fly a banner calling on Arsene Wenger to leave over the Emirates.

Wenger is under considerable pressure at Arsenal after exiting the Champions League at the last-16 stage for the seventh season running. The Gunners are also fifth in the Premier League.

A group of supporters, led by Chris Butler, have set up a page on JustGiving in an attempt to fund demonstrations against Wenger's continuing in the job.

Arsenal fans have grown frustrated at a lack of progress under Wenger in recent seasons

One possible option mentioned on Twitter is that the supporters could arrange for a plane to be flown over the stadium during an Arsenal game.

That echoes protests arranged by Manchester United fans during David Moyes's reign as manager. A banner reading 'Wrong One - Moyes Out' was flown during the game against Aston Villa in March 2014.

And that has clearly appealed to the 108 Arsenal supporters who have thrown their financial support behind the protests, raising a total of £2,090.

The organisers have targeted £3,000 as an end goal to fund their protests.

A statement on the JustGiving page reads: 'We are raising funds to help with demonstrations, advertisements and banners to encourage the owners of Arsenal, to remove Arsene Wenger from the position of manager.

'He has constantly delivered unsatisfactory results, and lifelong Gooners are fed up.'

Arsenal reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday and are just five points behind Liverpool, with two games in-hand on the fourth-placed side.
