He doesn't claim to love the club, he's not a sportsman where the most important accolade should be the trophies. He's a businessman. He'll continue to collect his pay under a difficult manager until a more lucrative offer comes along. What else are you expecting?
But you are I feel (and i could be wrong) working under the understanding that i am in anyway excusing Wenger

I don't think there is any argument against Wenger wanting to stay shows a lack of professional pride on his part

It's not about love for the club with Gazidis, it's about having respect for your own reputation.....basically the perception is that he's a puppet with no power in his role, if he stays in his role having failed to achieve any restrain on Wenger than I would say the lack of professional pride also applies to him.

And frankly if he's that good at his job, presumably he'd want to go somewhere where he can effect more change than he can with us.
