Not totally accurate. We know that he wields the kind of power that has enabled him to have the board's support while indulging his experiments; to be given almost unlimited time to do so; and to fail repeatedly to win silverware in circumstances where another manager of a club as big as Arsenal would have been long gone - despite his early success.
Sub, i think what probably happened was that when Wenger submitted his original plan to the board for the stadium move it was firmed up with this youth development/sell on plan as well fro robustness. The romantic in me wants to congratulate Wenger for keeping us in it and a few times being very close to winning stuffs while paying off the stadium and not have the luxury of a sugar daddy. The realist in me see's how close we have come and nearly cries that with a few minor deviations from the plan we could have pushed on and won things. I am not trophy obsessed, i don't think many of us are but when we have come so close only to have it snatched away i do have to question whether a different manager could have took us further once Wenger had done the groundwork.

I found myself during last seasons debacle wondering what a man motivator manager such as Coyle or Holloway could do with our player, or what a tactics expert such as Moyes or Hodgson would do with our defence and i couldn't see them being worse than Wenger, we may lose the business and economics side of things by sacking him but are we far enough through the mortgage repayments for that to matter? We now have 2 billionaire owners, could they not swell the coffers to rid us of debt?
