There are good reasons for sacking Wenger but don't think that when someone new comes in things will inevitably get better. And please don't say they can't get any worse, as frustrating as things are right now we're 5th, still in the FA Cup and won our CL group. As far as we've declined from the invincibles there's far further we could fall.
There is no guarantee the next manager will be an upgrade but there is definite reason there now (as has been for a few years) that AW needs to go. We cannot not take this risk just because AW guarantees us mediocrity. May be the next manager will suck, well then sack that manager too and get someone who will work. We need to look at being the no.1 team in England, not just happy at being 4th.

Having said that, 4th is also getting out of reach for us.. so AW does not even give us that, so whats the excuse for not taking a risk? None tbh!
