There was a time, in the days of Villa, Forest, Liverpool when winning top tier titles was all about managers.Success breeds entitlement, and if there's no real reason why your club shouldn't remain competitive at the top level, only for you to drop off a cliff, then it'll piss people off. They may get used to it over time and the crowds will come back (see Sp**s), but the initial reaction will be one of anger. Unless is changes, you start not caring for your own good. Next thing you know, you're a 'sleeping giant'. Forest, Villa fans... They were angry once.
Today winning the EPL is all about your owners. That's why we're ****ed long term.
There's still a lot of our fans that won't or can't accept this. Simeone/Leicester theories a romantic lifeline. But top 4 will be our trophy for alooooong time. And those calling Wenger's 10 trophies over 20 years, medocrity and failure, will eventually realise the truth.
Still, a new manager will get bums on seats again, so the Kroenkers will have smiles on their faces while they bag a few big game elephants. It's win win for them.
