Wenger caused all of this. He was aa genius for 10 years,then he went soft. The signs were there and he should have been replaced with Simeone or Klopp a long time ago. Now Wengers nice,soft and unfocussed squad cannot break the mold.

Sadly given how the club is being run I think had Wenger gone 5/6 years prior we'd be in an even worse position

We’d have been in a much better position

Apart from your long hatred of Wenger what in that last 18 months has made you think that?
Pointed out countless times on these forums that arsenal were more reliant on Mr Wenger than United were on SAF.
United's very real directional problems started way before SAF left. But Arsenal's more severe problems started because they were too reliant on Mr Wenger's unique capacity to turn averageness in players into above average levels of confidence and achievement as a squad.
He was the best I have ever seen at that.
Don't get me wrong, he had his faults. Part of his philosophy was to overlook the squads general thuggery and/or simulation in the first six seasons (a philosphy that garnered great success) and then when that was extracted from the squad, the league success dried up.
When he was forced out, the averageness of the players became even more evident as his ability to disguise that was gone.
Arsenal fans never realised how great their manager was, nor how average the players he managed were. The clues were all there.
