Around the Cesc era, we had a season or two where we'd beat or put up a serious good fight against the big spenders but were very complacent against the lower league teams, so I don't think it's just a case of money. Even if Wenger had billions to spend in the window, he's spend it on the wrong sort of players, play them out of position or leave really good players on the bench until there is an all out mutiny. He'd never be able to cope with the sort of egos our rivals have to
cope with.
