Since they got going the only team who have managed to wrest the title from their grubby paws is Utd under Fergie - IMO he's the GOAT, that last season they had no right to win it with that squad. Since he left they've not looked close to winning the title again.

Wenger needs to have a better team than everyone else in order to win the title - he's not someone who can make a team more than the sum of its parts. So I can't see us winning the title under him again. But I don't think there are many managers out there who could win the title for us in the current climate. Not saying there aren't any, but some of the managers touted as successors on here have not consistently delivered.
I personally think we are underachieving, I am not for one minute suggesting we should be winning leagues or beating all in front of us but I do feel Wenger is not getting the best out of this group. You rightly mentioned that Fergie is the only one to wrestle the title from the billionaire boys and whilst that is correct, Liverpool and Rodgers came very close last year and seem to have no problems going toe to toe with them in the big games. I personally feel Rodgers has got Liverpool in shape to challenge the billionaire boys next season, look at them now, after that horrendous start to the season they are well within a shout of finishing 2nd, at present they look the best team in the league to me.

Going back to Wenger if he needs to have a better team than everyone else then he needs to spend every penny available to him by buying the BEST players he can afford in the POSITIONS that need strengthening. Wenger doesn't even buy players we need, we have absolutely no chance of improving with him in charge.

IMO I think Mourinho & Brendan Rodgers could both win us the title with our current squad.
