It's isn't a coincidence that Arsenal stopped winning after Chelsea's billions arrived on the scene, nor is it a coincidence that Manchester City won the league after having half a billion pounds invested in their first team squad. Money speaks. This has held up with few exceptions. The richest clubs tend to win their respective leagues.
We can talk about Wenger over and over again but it should be a substantive discussion with a proper argument and/or facts to back it up. The continued assertion that Wenger needs to go and is ruining the team is hollow without a reasoned argument for it. There rarely is one.
So I am back to the first point I made. We need to define what our expectations are, if those expectations as reasonable in the current climate, and how Wenger is performing against those expectations. This isn't a conversation Arsenal fans wish to have because, looked at objectively, we're meeting what can be expected of us. That's a depressing thought given that 10 years ago we were on top of the game.
