Raul was the biggest scammer though, he set us back years. Who tf gave him so much power knowing he was a swindler?

Well Gazidis brought him in, then the Kroenkes were happy to give him a bigger role once Gazidis left

When he said finishing in the top4 was like winning a trophy.

Absolutely. All the others are/were just hugely incompetent but that guy was a borderline criminal.

Firstly I'll give it to Wenger, I think I majorly underestimated just how hard managing at remotely close to the top level.
Sure he majorly dipped in later years but even those teams had a fluency we can only dream on now.
I'd say he should've left after the 2014 FA Cup final. Ideally he would've made way for Klopp in 2013 I think it was, but tbh with how badly our backroom staff have invested I wonder how much progress we could've made with him.

The Leicester season. He was already past it but that summer the money came and if we had someone like Klopp around we'd be in a much much better situation.

We spent quite a lot of money but were just very bad at it.

He came 2nd in the league. If that's past it what are you calling our recent mid table seasons. Never read such claptrap.

Wenger should have left 2004. Agreeing to stay so that the bank could have their assurance for the stadium loan was a stupid thing to do.
2004 to 2013 we spent bottom half of the table and Wenger still got top 4 every single year. And the fans never appreciated it, or even understood what an incredible achievement it was.
2014 he was humiliated at the Stoke train station. By 2015/16 they'd worked themselves into a frenzy. After that it was like bear baiting.

Funny thing is he was right. Top 4 guarantee's more money than winning the Fa Cup/carbao and pretty much brings in an extra 40M minimum each year.

League is very weak
I think until the stadium change, Wenger vs Ferguson was identical. After the stadium change Ferguson ran away with it, Utd started thrashing Arsenal.

Wenger got dissed for it, but he was ahead of his time, top 4 is a trophy. If we get top 4 I’ll jump around like a crazy little child.
Chelsea, Utd, Sp**s etc managers today all just talk about the top 4.

Still Pining for Wenger
For himself or for us?
For his own career, 2004 after the invincibles. Where can you go after that?
It would have been the prime time to go to Real Madrid too, if he could have convinced Vieira to come with him. All that team was missing was a DM.
Post 2008 he would have been on a hiding to nothing at Madrid, Barcelona were cleaning up in European football.
If he left in 2006-2012
Bayern? They weren't that great then and were in a rebuilding phase.
An Italian club? Inter was out of the question, Juventus were in their worst period and AC Milan were starting to fade.
Ironically, I almost don't see a job where Wenger would have been a rousing success, given the circumstances surrounding his potential club s from 2006 to 2012.
He was never seriously linked to the Barcelona job but I think he'd have done great there after Pep departed.
For us as a club? I'd argue he should still be here. I'd have gotten rid of everyone around him first and gave him a new team and structure to work with.
Imagine Sven Misntalt working hand in hand with the great man to bring in young talent, with a competent CEO working above them, no Egghead.
If I take the view that he's truly past it and I let anger cloud my judgment. He would have been out the door (this is predicated on the belief that it was his choice and his alone to not sign an outfield player in 2015), the second Leicester won the league. However I cannot believe, that someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Wenger, refused to sign a player. The transfer team must have failed horribly that summer and he is covering for them. I do blame him for signing and persisting with Cech. That double agent cost us points.

Wants a new name
2004, right after that Invincible season. Was never motivated after that. A stain on the history of our club from that point on, bulldozing a historic stadium!

It’s the ownership who set the tone. We’ve been in a decline since Stan took over.
Our decline started even before Kroenke took over.
