Of course Wenger deserves credit for the trophies we won from 2001-2005, but his methods aren't working anymore, it's been brutally highlighted season after season. Our board deserve the blame for persisting with him (because it was financially profitable to do so) but there's no question any other club with owners even remotely interested in football would have sacked him at the end of last season at the very latest.
