ASHLEY COLE is getting ready for a fresh fight with Arsenal
after refusing to drop damning parts of his explosive new
book.
Gunners chiefs want the left-back to tone down two chapters about
his infamous tapping-up by Chelsea last year.
Cole has launched an astonishing attack on the club and the way he
was treated during the scandal which stunned soccer.
He even went as far as saying club bigwigs fed him to the sharks
and threw back years of loyalty in his face.
But the England World Cup ace, who was fined £75,000 after meeting
Chelsea officials, has told Arsenal his mind will only be made up
once his future is resolved.
And that will leave boss Arsene Wenger sweating for at least
another month.
Cole wants to leave the Gunners and the revelations in the book, My
Defence, which is due out on August 28, will only make his stay at
the Emirates Stadium more uncomfortable.
If Cole, 25, is persuaded to stay, Gunners chiefs will be able to
INSIST that the changes are made to avoid any embarrassment to the
clubs top brass.
But if a move is on the cards, Cole will be free to keep in the
problem chapters before sitting back and watching the fireworks
explode in North London.
