The suggestion was that they might without Wenger. Of course there’s literally no chance they’ll drop out with him.
@profk I think on the whole people don’t “assume” anything, just aknowledge that it’s a risk. They might be fine, they might get a great manager, open the coffers, sign the new Viera and a top, top, top striker and win the league. They might not. It’s a big risk to take considering they are consistently the fourth of fifth highest spending team in the league and there’s teams struggling more with higher paid managers with bigger reputations and more funds.
Meanwhile, those Liverpool and Tottenham squads are getting praised for (on the whole) doing the same or worse than Arsenal and importantly not winning anything. And that’s the best either have done in a decade! There’s a difference between being cowardly and cautious.
