He's delivered 3 trophies in 4 seasons - and OK, the FA Cup has lost some of its lustre but can people please stop pretending they don't care about it, the reaction on here again shows they do. He's failed to challenge for the biggest trophies and that's why he should go but he's not been the catastrophic failure some people make out.
It's a football forum, I think some of the criticism of Wenger is indicative of emotional reactions

But disgraceful?. It's like on Twitter when I ask people what's disgraceful about the people who Want Wenger out and all they can point to is an example of someone who might have said I hope Wenger dies, now that is disgraceful but you don't get anyone saying it on here.
I think a lot of what Zim says borders on the absurd, but nothing he says is disgraceful because Wenger isn't some God like figure and questioning his competence isn't akin to blasphemy.

I don't personally want him hounded out because I think that would be an awful way for his time at Arsenal to end, but he's been given a perfect oportunity to leave on a high now but he won't take it simply because he's scared of not being in management.

I think this overly sensitive and overwrought response to, how dare people treat this man so disrespectfully. It's the culture of the club that has made him and certain fans think he deserves this degree of reverence, a reverence which would not be afforded any other manager in the game with the possible exception of Alex Ferguson.

If he was so wounded by what was being said he wouldn't even think about staying.
