Gets to the crux of the matter by pointing out that fan who want Wenger out are simply bored with sustained mid-range relative achievement.

"All that really seems certain is that Wenger, who is 64, will leave soon enough; that the club he leaves behind will be in excellent shape and ready to be driven on by whichever managerial fortunate gets the chance; and that in the interim there will be booing, not to mention a collective mewling of enervating over-familiarity. What is to be deplored most in all this is simply the fetishising of this discontent, the fashion right now for the media, new and old, to feed and commodify anger, lending an unnatural focus to the familiar old voices of dissent and catharsis".
Nail head perfect hit. Hence I say little.
"For further context, Arsenal achieved 23 top four finishes in 92 seasons prior to the 18 in a row that there have been under Wenger."
Astonishing achievement.
What I’m saying that this is Arsene Wenger we are talking about. A club legend and tremendous servant to the club that we all love. This is the man who led Arsenal through the desert and, like Moses, will probably never see his promised land. The man who built the Colosseum we all love to see games in. This is the man who gave us the Invincibles and 18 years of European football. You can want him out and at the same time show him some respect.
For what he’s done for you fans, for The Arsenal, and for English football, if we are going to call for his resignation, we should at least end the sentence with, “Sir”.
Sadly there are too many people who have the memory of a gnat and the capacity to just about understand and respect how **** sticks to their shoes. What comes next is anyones guess.
