the majority shareholders and board are the problem because they gave him a new contract and it will cost too much for them to sack him
while Stan Kroenke is in control, it will always be about the money and never about the football
we so obviously need a new manager*, but SK simply weighs up the pounds and pence - it would cost 20 million to fire him, so it's cheaper to keep him on and accept another season or two of (relative) failure
while I'm glad we haven't gone the sugar-daddy route, we've also been denied the ambition that comes with a vanity owner - the men and women who run Arsenal probably want trophies and success, but are far too comfortable with mediocrity (for a club of our stature) and stagnation to make the hard decision about Wenger
* I don't know who a new manager could/should be, but it is better to start climbing from the bottom of a ladder that might take you higher, than to hang around at the top of one that doesn't get you to where you want to go
