And again the opinion is nuanced and varied, between those who want him gone now, those who want next season to be his last regardless of results, those who want him gone if we don't do significantly better than last season and those in the very small minority who want him to stay as long as he wants no matter what.

I think the fan base is far more anti Wenger than it ever has been, and is generally frustrated with him but I think the desire for him not to be sacked is based more on sentiment than anything. I think they want him to go, but they want him to make that decision himself.
And as discussed earlier if he fails as badly as he did last summer the atmosphere will become poisonous enough for him to walk.

In hindsight the expectation that he might have gone at the end of season just gone was probably fanciful although I can blame no one (including myself) for desiring it.
By want to stay I mean till the end of his contract and beyond, those who think he's doing a great job and that we couldn't do better because he gets top 4 every year, which up until 10 years ago menat nothing to anyone.

I don't understand the desire to not want him get sacked, better managers than him have been sacked, players effectively get sold (essentially the same as sacking) when they are no longer wanted and to be honest he's been pretty patronising fans, some people totally ignore than and actually agree with his view that the fans are to blame (how daft is that?).

If people don't perform in a job they often lose it or are paid off and moved on in real life after all.
