i actually think you are way out of step with most fans with this post. it really doesn't matter who was ahead of who when it came to giving up on wenger/the board because we are all here for one thing. i'm not sure when it was you realised things needed to drastically change but i can bet there was someone else who was ahead of you in thinking the same; when you realised, did you want to hear smugness from that other guy?
the divide driven between fans by wenger/board over the past 4/5 years is just as dangerous as the problems in the boardroom and on the pitch. but fans can't be blamed for sticking with wenger because none of us have seen anything like him during our time supporting arsenal and i don't mean in the sense of lauding him for success or any failures. the huge amount of affection toward wenger is not to be underestimated and for all of us it is a big step into the unknown. some are more eager for it and others more fearful but we all want the same thing at the end of the day and that's the only thing that matters especially when its the bad times like this.
