I don't think you understand how the board work at Arsenal. To them, finishing 4th, a place in Champions League is enough because that alone brings in the money.

Say what you want about Wenger, he's not lost his job and that's because he's bloody good at it. He's consistantly got into the last 16 of Europes clubs for the 13 years.

And the FA cup is a major trophy.

yes, he is good at it. because his job is apperantly to achieve mediocre results, at best case scenario. the board at arsenal are just as bad Wenger, because they only care about profits by reaching the Champions League. only to get knocked out at the first knock out stage. 

he isnt bloody good at being a successfull manager, he is bloody good at failing at it. 

not to the big clubs it isnt. 

Arsenal hasn't had big stars in their team until Ozil and Sanchez. You could argue that they should be winning now but not before that, unless you go back to the time when they had Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. In between, expectations weren't as high. Finishing in the top 4 was great giving the extremely young talent he had to work with. Imo, Arsenal needs a better striker to do better in all competitions. 

Don't forget the business side of things, Man U, for example, is £380m in debt. Arsenal isn't.
