Genuine question.

I'm not trying to start a fight or prove a point.

If this had been 3/4 years ago and we were getting Klopp, fine, Cheerio AW.

But Arteta?

I'd have kept AW for one more year on the condition he used a defensive coach (as he apparently used Keown in 2004).

This team isn't that far away. Yup, more by luck than judgement (Auba and Laca complementing each other, swapping Alexis for Mhikky etc). So maybe Arteta will do.
Lets say you go a restaurant, order something, and it isnt that great.

If you went back to the restaurant, would you order the same thing again or try something else?

I think everyone fully appreciates that we could be worse next season. We would have to be seriously ****ing awful to do much worse than 7th or 8th but it may happen. THat isnt really an argument for saying that Wenger should have stayed.

It wasnt working and it was getting worse. If our board and other staff cant appoint the right manager then that is a separate problem. It doesnt make Wenger any better or worse as a manager.
