Who developed the best attacking football this country has seen?
Who kept the team firing through an unbeaten season?
Who signed Henry, Vieira, Overmars, Petit, Henry, Pires?

I think you have hit on something here Letters. Which leads on to a more interesting question. Wenger's real legacy. Who was responsible for the great success we had at the turn of the century, and if it was Wenger, how can he possibly have abandoned everything and laboured so hard to produce this absolute shit show, some of the most boring football ever seen, some of the least ambitious and a team packed with expensive dross? He signed Sanogo instead of Mbappe.

My theory so far is, his early legacy remains intact but he had a mental breakdown. If he carries on, some people might not be so kind in their judgement.
Wenger has never been a tactician, but the crap about him not being a motivator and not being good in the transfer market is crap.

Wenger didnt lose his mind though. He just got old and out of touch. His tactical failings shine greater now since Pochittino and Guardiola are in the league now. Even Klopp's basic tactical self is better at it than Wenger. Mourinho is having similar problems with United because the game isnt won on the transitions anymore like his early Chelsea sides used to stunt.
