Wenger has faced the hardest campaign of his 21 years at Arsenal with a growing number of fans calling for him to be released at the end of his current contract. After winning the FA Cup, however, he is set to sign a two-year extension.
Adams isn't surprised because he believes the 67-year-old retains full control over all matters at the club, accusing the board of taking the money Wenger earns them and doing 'nothing' else.
He also doesn't buy into Wenger's claim of loyalty. He has regularly cited the fact that he has stayed with Arsenal despite a host of other offers but Adams says he would not have lasted more than a year at Real Madrid and, instead, he has 'free rein' at the Emirates.
Adams continued: 'That’s why I think he’ll hold on to Arsenal. He said "I’ve turned down every club in the world." But he would’ve been sacked after a year at Madrid. He would’ve had to go to from club to club.
'But, at Arsenal, he’s got total dominance. The board do nothing. Arsene has a free rein. He’s earning them so much money he can do what he wants. And I don’t think Arsene can let go. It’s an addiction.'
