Problem here is that if you force a manager to spend when he doesn't want to you're effectively telling him how to do his job and I'm not sure Wenger would like that.

He's always been given free reign and they've always stated how great he is and how he is the man for the job and that they trust him 100%, a change of attitude would surely suggest to him they don't trust him anymore.

You can't just change something that's been happening for years by snapping your fingers, forcing him to spend would be questioning his judgment and ability to manage.
