That said frankly, i think most of us would take not finishing in the top four if it meant Wenger would walk (and I say walk because I don't see any circumstances under which the board would get rid of him). That's not to say I hope we finish outside the top four, I just could see the silver lining if we did.
We will finish at worst 4th, that I have no doubt. It's the one source of pride Wenger still has and I doubt he's giving that up without a fight.

I would 100% take a year out of the CL if it meant Wenger leaving. Is it really that bad anyway? What if it meant being fresh for a title challenge the following year like Chelsea are now? The top 4 is interchangeable these days and not a lock like it was several years ago. I doubt we'd be out in the wilderness for the foreseeable future if we missed out this year.
