IMO that should be reserved for the board who have allowed this situation to go on and are quite happy to let it go on while the money keeps rolling in. Wenger at least cares and wants us to do better, even if he's not able to.
You don't remember what is like before the sponsorship deals? The Board were getting it on a daily basis. Ivan and Stan were constantly being held up as the problem but nobody wanted to criticise Wenger. People kept on saying it would be a mistake to get rid of Wenger. He was untouchable and the Board knew how popular he was. Wenger's made this situation for himself. The way he has spoken about the fans over the past few years hasn't helped either.
