Eh??
The whole thing is about Wenger right?
Yes, of course he would have kept us top four without the stadium, and without the financial constraints of the stadium move. Of course he would. That's the point.
I would then say (like you agree) the stadium move was necessary. So you have to factor that in.
You then have to say, how many other managers would have been able to keep us there, on the budget he had.
Indulge me:
If Wenger had been the Spurs manager during the period we're talking, and that ragtag succession of failed spud managers (who had plenty of money to spend) were in charge of our club during that time. Who would have finished top four?
Isn't that the argument really?
