If we did not have an American owner who did not give a toss so long as the club was coasting in 3rd or 4th, he would have acted quickly and decisively and made the change then.

There are a host of managers out there who are now capable of improving Arsenal where Wenger no longer can do. Top cab off the rank would be Simeone (since you've asked). Before anyone says he wouldn't come, you may be right. But the idea that only one or two people in the game could improve us is clearly rubbish. There is no case for indulging one man's ego for another year.
I'm not kicking off here, just wanting to understand the PoV more. Yes, I wouldve liked Klopp to be our next manager. But then again, it did go all sour for him very suddenly - team in the relegation zone for half a season, arguments with the board - but we werent going to part with wenger on the back of two FA Cups, were we? Some things arent meant to be and all that.

Simeone is an interesting choice, I'll grant you. Though I think he's wedded to Atleti almost as much as Arsene is to us, even at his stickiest. I'm not entirely sure it's a goer.

I dont think the field is too open for a successor tbh, there's certainly nobody I would rather have than AW out there right now. Ancelotti? Capello possibly, maybe Koeman, Tuchel?
