This is very true. The protests against Wenger are misplaced. Wenger has done an amazing job. When Arsenal were one of two sides who could afford to win the League, he won it three times. Now that there are more sides capable of winning and he no longer has the funds to compete, he has shown a level of consistency which is spectacular. Top four and knock out stages year after year.
If Arsenal want to change their position, they need to change those that command that strategy that Wenger so capably implements. Given the resources that he once had, he might well win again. But without them, he is destined to make the most of a poor hand.

The thing is he has had decent money to spend on Özil, Sanchez, Xhaka and was gifted one of the best goalkeepers in the league by Roman.
You're right that he has consistently achieved for the club but imagine Chelsea winning two titles on the bounce with Conte followed by a decade of finishing fourth and getting kicked out of the second round of the Champions League, would you be asking for Roman to sell up, Conte to resign or give him another two years?

I wouldn't. How many were delighted when Kroenke became owner, despite his track record of sports team ownership in the US clearly demonstrating that profitable mediocrity was his goal? Wenger is perfect for Kroenke because he'll produce a team that is good, and good to watch, whilst making a profit.
I know fans can't choose their owners, but they should be far more vociferous about who wants to be the custodian of their team.
