I am listening. I am writing quite long posts explaining my position and why I think you're mistaken. It's not unbelievable. It's quite self-evident that Chelsea and Manchester City got to where they are by spending a lot of money. There are only a few places at the top of the table and their presence there means we have fallen behind them
I am addressing what you're saying. I just don't think you've backed it up.

In 2008 we was short of a player or two. The 1-2 player(s) would not of cost the worlds cash reserves. Wenger decided against it and persisted with his own ways. instead of being one step ahead Wenger has left himself open to be attacked by various things such as his own players having enough and leaving. this is a cycle now. the qaulity is declining. Wengers become incredibly predictable.

In hindsight there are a lot of things we would do differently of course. The fact the squad got so close in 2008 despite spending little money is a credit to Wenger and yes, he should have got more players. However that isn't a reason to let him go. Manchester United fans would say the same about the positions in which they were weak last year. In football that happens.
At the risk of labouring the point....

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.
