Who would have Wenger back?

Yes.

No.

I was probably one of the last to think Wenger should leave, when he went was about the right time. But I think I was wrong and would take him back today. Top 4 mediocrity is better than the current situation. Maybe things will pick up when/if Auba/Laca return?

If not Wenger then who?

No, unless you mean literally - Wenger or Arteta in which case obviously Wenger would be better.

However neither would be best.

Wenger is an absolute legend of mine and of the club but his time was more than up by the time he left.

Personally I believe that Wenger would easily get this squad to 6th and likely (given the last few seasons tables) get it to 4th too. Not so much because I believe that Wenger is just that damned good but moreso due to the specific players that we have and just how incompetent I see Arteta as being. Fact is this squad has alot more strength and talent than Wenger's last couple ever did and more to the point they're most all HIS type of player wanting to play his type of football.

One of the biggest reasons Arteta looks so lost and incompetent is that he has a bunch of footballers who want to play positive football but Arteta vision is pure, negative ANTI-FOOTBALL. Wenger would simply axe that crap and get the players doing what they're best at and love to do. That said, the only way I want him back at the club is as a statue outside it or best case scenario as the shock new OWNER. The fans who hounded Wenger out really don't deserve to have him come back for a short time to steady the ship and save the club from dire mess THEY caused by attacking him instead of the owner in the first place.

Crappy as this all is to sit through a LARGE portion of this fanbase DESERVES to suffer every bit of misery it's now going through. That's what you get when you bite the hand that feeds you

With Auba, Laca, Saka and Pepe I don't see how Wenger, Rodgers, Rafa etc wouldn't make the top four.

Spurs have won 2 out of 2 including against Man City, and their squad looks just as mediocre as ours IMO.

As DoF/TD, yes

As manager, fack no. He's the one that kicked off the rot in the first place.

Wenger would never finish 8th last season and would definitely finish at least top 6 this season. Some people's ego just won't allow them to admit it because they feel like idiots now for not valuing top 4 achievements.

Would be a good interim appointment (IMO) but nothing more, he wouldn't be able to keep up anymore.

Do think there's an argument to be made the Arsenal fanbase might need it however it goes too. If he does well it's cathartic, if he doesn't have the desired effect it's closure - either way it's beneficial.
