No, lets see what he can waste in the transfer window and judge him at the end of the season.

If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
He has to resign. If he could have kept us at the level we were at last season, fair enough. But we've fallen off another cliff and I'm not even sure we've hit the bottom yet. He has to resign. There's no excusing a home performance like that. We may well have handed the 4th place trophy to Utd today, without putting up the slightest fight. At home. There's no sign whatsoever of improvement. Under these circumstances the manager has to go. He has to resign.

Please leave at the end of the season Wenger, because we all know the board won't do anything
Only way I could see him resigning is if we don't finish 4th. Once he can't bring up the "x amount of consecutive years in the CL" stat then he's essentially finished because it opens him up to a new wave of criticism not heard before.

Problem is its a double edged sword, even if Wenger did leave if we finished outside the top four (no evidence suggests to me he would or the board would push him) We would be in a mass exodus situation with a lot of our players (I don't think there is any question that what we have are good players who are being coached abysmally) using Wengers going and the lack of champions league football to find a new club, which could massively destabilise us for years.
The ideal solution would be for Wenger to acknowledge he's not capable of getting the required standard from these players and hand over the reigns to Steve Bould, and for once I don't mean at the end of the season.
I actually think today was a worse humiliation than the 8-2 game, we had the personnel and the territorial dominance to obliterate this Man Utd side, De Gea was the best player on the pitch but he made no saves that he wouldn't have been expected to save, in fact if you wanted to be critical he was beaten too easily by Giroud at his near post.
A dreadful Man United side gifted three points, a Man United side that didnt even get a shot on target until the 84th minute, a Man United side who didnt seem for the first thirty minutes to be able to keep its shape or even understand the formation it was playing.
It doesn't get any easier, Dortmund next and then fixtures in December against Stoke, Southampton, Liverpool and West Ham....and you have to rely on the same back four and hope that none of them break down in that period.
Just admit its beyond you Mr Wenger, you are 65 now and the game has left you behind.
Whether the game has left him behind or not, what's contemporary about a cross or a corner? These are the age old basics of the game and we can't do them. We can't shoot either, preferring to pass when the shot is on, and shoot when there's fuck all chance of the ball going in the net. Couldn't any old fool suggest we're better off moving the ball towards the opponent's goal rather than our own? Couldn't the village idiot figure out which team he's on and then pass to them rather than the opposition? What makes this myths that we are a wildly entertaining, free flowing, passing machine persist? Have the fans been duped into watching one game while everyone else watches the real match elsewhere? What are they seeing that we can't see? We can't pass, cross, shoot, defend and we have no drive, energy, tempo or a hint of ambition. You don't need a modern day maestro to figure it out, even an old has-been should get an inkling when he sees the shit being spread in front of him week after week. I have my doubts about Bould too. If he's sitting there being a yes man then those aren't the credentials we want in a manager. But if he's an active part of this then WTF?

My theory on Bould is that he clearly wants Wengers job, I am actually convinced that he has been offered it by Gazidis as well.
And as bad as things are I don't think Bould thinks they have got bad enough to rock the boat
Along with the board, he knows that as long as there is champions
League football he has a platform on which to build.
In his first season he did start bollocking Wenger in the dug out
And I think the defensive solidity between March and May 2013 was his doing
