I agree however that he would leave because he has ambition, something Wenger lacks.
Club boards think long term, if spurs had five-ten years where they were finishing fourth but nothing else they would take the safe option.....would the fans get a bit fed up? yeah but until it got to the point where we are at now they wouldn't be calling for the manager to be sacked (certainly not the majority anyway).

You would add to that, that Spurs have no recent history of success so consistently finishing in the top four would be a step up for them.

The likelihood is that they will have to sell the likes of Kane etc in the short term, so actually Pochetinno would be performing minor miracles to get the club into the champions league each season.

The difference is now we have expanded and come out the other side with no noticeable difference and that's why there's no justification for Wenger to remain because we don't need that stability anymore, we can afford as a club to make bold moves.

Oh and by the way I have a liverpool fan sitting opposite of me, and he laughed when i told him your suggestion that his club would have sacked a manager who constantly finished in the top 4 no matter what else he achieved.
