Personal gain, well the whol cub has gained benefited financially, yes those that have left certainly, I wouldn't say Wenger specifically but he has also benefited just look at how much money he gets paid (I'm not saying this was his intention but it was a consequence), which IMO is too much for a club with our record in the last 8-9 years. You can argue that the people upstairs are happy with it as that was his target, but that just reinforces my point, 4th place = money and thus they are happy and don't fell the need to pressure the manager into more and ultimately he's also happy.
No getting almost regular beatings does though, this season it's been cricket scores (3 times), but this isn't new, there's been enough 4-0, 4-1 and unacceptable scorelines in recent times, this season is just the icing on the cake, we've sunk to new levels getting absolutely humiliated, though in Wenger's opinion it's just circustmances, he changes nothing, doesn't adapt and doesn't react to results like this and within a couple weeks they're irrelevant.
Results that embarrass the club like this aren't irrelevant, they need to be taken seriously, you may be able to put one an an accident but three in one season for any other manager at a top club that would be a sackable offence tbh.
It seems to me that even some of the fans now write off those results as a bad day at the office, it's almost like they never happened at all now and don't matter, they matter a lot and should be taken more seriously rather than written off, big teams don't get battered like this as often as this without there being serious issues somewhere.
