The doom-mongers haven't exactly been vindicated, they said we'd be in mid-table years ago and that hasn't happened.
The club is, in theory, pretty well positioned for success right now. But Wenger is a spent force and we have a board who don't care so long as the money keeps rolling in.
Replacing Wenger would at least be different and right now that in itself would be a good thing, but with our board I don't see that as the silver bullet.
Was it not said that Wenger was not said that Wenger had way more influence over the Board that you guys were making out?

Was it not said that he was a poor tactician?

Was it not said that he’d not be able to handle star players with egos because of his soft man management, hence why he goes for less known players?

Was it not said that he’d still fuck things up even if he had money to spend?

Was it not said that he’s he puts the interest of Board over the interest of the Arsenal fans?

A lot has been said over the years and goes way beyond the results and us dropping down the table.
