Fwiw it's often downplayed how much Wenger and Arsenal were a match made in heaven. He found in our board and eventual owner Kroenke synergy in the way things could and should be done. I've no doubt Arsène loved and still loves Arsenal but he was given an opportunity to mould the club in his beliefs. The low squad cost narrative is one that he oversaw and established. And one that when we ended our long term commercial deals transformed into a high squad cost, all be it still spending sustainably.
Arsène didn't spend much because Arsène decided his philosophy was how to do things. If anything squad cost proponents should be critical of Arsène. Just a thought.
