Fourth is the highest Arsenal will finish (behind a rival team that has a much smaller wage budget). They can still easily fail to qualify for the CL next season. They are basically out of the CL, out of the FA Cup, and out of the Carling Cup. Another trophy-less season from Wenger and not even coming close to competing for any title. Not to mention the disharmony in the squad and Van Persie looking likely to exit in the summer. Still no great signings despite having the money to spend. When is the last time Wenger won a title?
If Arsenal is a club that views achievement as fighting for 4th place every season and not competing for any other title, then congratulations to Wenger. He is doing his job very nicely.
You make me want to die.
First of all there is a £31m difference between Arsenal and Tottenham's wage budget and it'd be £23.2m if you included Adebayor's massive wages of £7.8m a year (150k a week). That is not exactly 'a much smaller wage budget'. Plus Tottenham use loads of their money on transfers Tottenham have spent £243m in the last five years on players, £76m NET spend, meanwhile Arsenal have spent £85m on players with a net spend of -£6m. Arsenal have been ahead of Spurs for all of the last five seasons with a lower budget.
4th place is an achievement because Arsenal are in a transitional period which is lasting a lot longer than expected due to stupid commercial deals the club agreed to which can't be re-negotiated. And what disharmony in the squad? You're chatting utter bullshit.
Arsenal before Wenger: Finished in the top 4 of the first division 12 out of over 70 times.
Arsenal under Wenger: 15 out of 15.
Speak about something you actually know two things about before you start chatting shit. You used to be a respectable member. You're just as bad as the other trolls now. At least do some research.
It takes time for a team to gel. Spurs spent money on players and over the span of 5 years are sitting ahead of Arsenal. They seem to be getting better every year. Where is Arsenal? They seem to be getting worse every year. God help your team if you lose Van Persie in the summer.
Again, the past is the past. Wenger will go down as one of the greatest managers the world has seen. But it's time to move on. A lot has changed in modern day football. Even if we can excuse the lack of spending on players, there is no excuse a team like Arsenal (with a great manager as you believe) be struggling for a Champions League place and get humiliated by Manchester United and AC Milan. Lose? Yes. Get destroyed like that? No. You got kicked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland (the team that I got insulted for suggesting they could beat Arsenal in the league a week before the cup match).
So I'm a troll because I think Wenger should be sacked? You Arsenal fans take everything so personal. You have people hurling insults at me just because I think a manager should move on.
So let me ask all Arsenal fans. If Arsenal fail to get a CL spot for next season, should Wenger stay? If yes, why?

Just stop posting in this thread, I beg you. And no one hurls insults at you because you want a manager to move on. It's because you put forward such a terrible argument that you clearly haven't put much thought into. And the way you do it just screams troll. Bumping this thread after every game we lose. I mean, really?
