The problem is, if Wenger could just all of a sudden wake up and do better I don't so what a new owner could do. surely if Wenger knew what to do to make us better he would do it. I don't think a new owner alone will make a difference.
I think we’re underestimating what a little pressure can do. The way I see it is that Wenger is like a decent first eleven player without competition. Eventually his performances will start to decline unless someone puts his position under serious threat. Right now, or at least up until this season, Wenger has been too comfortable in his job. If rumors are to be believed, there’s already a contract on the table for Wenger despite the club finishing behind Sp*rs, possibly outside the top 4, and possibly without a trophy. All this after spending about 100 million on players too. The suits don’t care if we win a major trophy and if they do then they aren’t applying enough pressure. It’s this mentality that filters all the way down to the manager and then on to the players. Sanchez’s recent form is the ultimate case in point. I know Wenger has been really bad lately but you cannot ignore what he was and possibly is still capable of. Just look how he performed before we moved to the emirates and when Dein was here. Also look how he suddenly becomes a good manager when 4th is under threat or when an FA Cup is on the line. An owner who really gives a damn about the club would most likely have Wenger performing at his peak level over a full season and not just parts of it.
It would be very interesting and I’d prefer to see how Wenger does under better management but if that’s not possible here then he has to go because we certainly won’t make any progress as things are
