What was the straw that broke the camels back for you?

I've wanted him gone for a good while now, maybe 4 or even 5 seasons, even back in the latter days of Project Youth I questioned Wenger's policy when he had us going into the season with a squad of 3 CM's (Gilberto, Fabregas & Flamini) with no cover or squad backup whatsoever, back then the "financial" excuse was put out there which gave him breathing space. He's still making the same mistakes now with his mismanagement of the squad amongst other things.

Objectively he has to go, if we dissect this season and look at the teams above us it's a damning indictment of Wenger's policy. Mauricio Pochettino has built a team from youth largely made of homegrown players in 2 full seasons that is now challenging for the title, Wenger tried and failed for years to build a team like that.

Ranieri has built a team full of rejects and cheap gems and they look odds on to win the league, it's a major slap in the face for Wenger. It has proven that his way can work but only if you coach and drill the team/squad to perfection. Wenger is incapable of this and thus will never win a title again with his approach.

He has absolutely failed this season and should do the honourable thing and hand over the reigns to someone else.

He won't and everyone on the Board would be encouraging him to stay on because they have no idea who will come in next. Rumour had it that they'd bring in a coach to work alongside Wenger for his last season. Help ease the transition. I hope that doesn't happen because we'll probably pick a novice like Henry or Bergkamp and although I'd like those guys to have a shot at managing, I wouldn't want their first jobs to be here at Arsenal after years of failure under Wenger.

This is precisely the reason I dislike him. I felt we almost never put our best foot forward going into games or even starting a season. Just remembering the Kallstrom situation boils my blood.. we were leading the entire season and were crying out for a striker, literally any striker. We instead signed a player who was not only a player who played in a position we didnt need, but this person was freaking crocked before he even signed for us. What Wenger was smoking or who he was consulting should be investigated. It was just criminal... and its things like these, which when I recall, make me loathe him!

That season where we signed Kallstrom was probably the final straw where I stopped caring. After all the press about our new spending powers that season, it felt like the time had finally arrived for us. I had hope that we’d finally see something different and the timing was perfect because our rivals were in transition, unstable and weaker than they had been before. But we really squandered the opportunity. I hoped we’d sign a striker in the January window and felt that was all we needed for the final push to the title. When we only signed Kallstrom, it just confirmed for me there was no hope for Wenger. There was no excuse for that sort of blunder. Some tried to find one for him such as the money not really being there or we were never in with a shout to win the title anyway…..fair enough. Everyone has their opinion but for me that was the opportunity.

I never would have thought a more obvious opportunity would present itself and it’s really left Wenger with no excuses. Even if we manage to win the league this year, people will still question his ability because we’ve really struggled this year when we shouldn’t have. It’s obvious the money is there now and I was glad Gazidis was so vocal about our spending power a few years back. He laid it bare and let everyone know the sort of players we could afford and along with the salary we can pay. Pushed the ball firmly in Wenger’s court. Now the only problem I have the Board is if they offer Wenger a new contract. They really should fire him this season. They won’t and I can understand that but I don’t think he should be allowed to piss more money up the wall in season we know we have zero chance of winning the title. He’s a fuck up. Trusting him with more money is a bad idea. I could understand why he didn’t want to spend silly money on Cavani or Benzema because I’m not even sure we’d have won the title with those guys. We should but you never know with Wenger.
