Was there anyone left in that fanbase who thought it was a good idea to patiently wait for that guy to come good?

Anyway, it's pretty damn obvious that if fans sit on their hands through season after season of shite but the owner is happy with each outcome, nothing will ever change. The fact Wenger is even being considered for 2 more years is beyond belief, given his unerring record of failure. This tells us everything we need to know about the owner and the board. So who will change things? Yes, Wenger is an arrogant bastard who discounts the fans out of hand. But it's not him the fans are trying to influence.
Totall agree, at the end of the day fans can create problems for the club and become a cause for irritation and pressure which ultimately can lead to change, when things were going wrong you could see the club were sweating a little bit and that was just for a few fans, get a lot more involved who go to matches and they're bound to stand up and take notice eventually.

It's win win for the board really, put as little in as possible and take out as much as you can, all with the fans seemingly content enough not to create a fuss, why change a good thing, keep it going for as long as you can!
