He's a reason, I'd suggest the board are the major reason however, they employed the manager, backed him and put themselves on the line by borrowing huge amounts, without them there would be no stadium, Wenger or not Wenger. You could have done it without Wenger if another manager had come in and been successful (noone can say whether they would or wouldn't have been).
