They (Board/Wenger) never take risk when it comes to spending money on transfers, but seem to have forgotten about the risks inherent in not adequately maintaining the squad.

Wenger has been the right man to make money but is the wrong man to manage a team to success - many have seen this for a long time - infact I know I've wanted Wenger sacked for longer than two and perhaps 3 of the people you have quoted. But 3 of the people quoted haven't a clue of or choose not to understand the dynamics and objectives of the people with power and managerial responsibility at this Club.

I'd have chosen for Wenger to walk and would still like that. But if for at least the last 2.5 years this Board were interested in arresting the decline in this Club, they should have sacked Wenger.
It's not a board v Wenger thing at all, we all know the board are moneygrabbers to be honest and I've wanted them out for a long time personally, I agree they should have sacked the muppet and the fact they haven't is driven by their greed...however on the other side of the coin is Wenger who has also prioritised money over football (borderline criminal for a football manager IMO), he saves and scrimps and is avert to risk, he picks up cheap journeyman and kids and treats his players like china dolls, there's no discipline, very little tactics and little motivation and the same mistakes happen over and over again....that's ignoring illogical decisions like today.

They're both to blame, but it's Wenger's team on the pitch and frankly it's inadequate due to him spending on too many kids and journeyman and never investing in quality even when available. He should have been sacked for sure, he hasn't but the way he does things is amateurish.
