Arsene Wenger insists he has no plans to leave Arsenal in the summer and says he respects his contract at the club.
The Gunners have endured a disappointing run of form since the turn of the year and are now in a battle to secure a top-four finish having slipped out of contention for the Premier League title.
Reports in some of Wednesday's national newspapers claimed that more than 2,500 tickets for Thursday's home match against West Bromwich Albion have been made available by Arsenal season ticket holders.
But Wenger, who is contracted to Arsenal until May 2017, was unmoved when asked if recent results, as well as banners protesting at his continued role, could force him to reconsider his position.
"I do not want to come back on that, I respect always my contract," he said when asked about remaining in charge.
When pushed further he replied: "I've just answered your question."
Arsenal have won just twice at home in the Premier League since February and Wenger admits the club's fans are allowed to make their own minds up in regards to attending the clash against the Baggies at the Emirates Stadium.
"Look, everybody is free to do what they want with their season ticket," Wenger added.
"We have to live with that. It's a Thursday night, it's unusual. We just had a disappointing result at home, maybe that plays a part as well. First of all it's not experienced yet and we have to live with that.
"But we have to take that with distance as well, and focus on our job. The emotional part in our game is always very high but changes very quickly as well.
"Judgement from people is something we have to live with. It's down to us to change that belief and judgement."
