I’m a newer fan who only started watching the club over the past 2 seasons. I’ve been trying to learn the history of the club, and I’m confused why there was hate for Wenger at the end of his career. I learned that he lead the invincible’s, and that amazing squad from the early 2000s, he gave us the only champions league final appearance in club history, and even after that he seem to do an amazing job. Heck he even got a new Stadium that is really nice. He seemed to be loved. By all accounts he should be a Saint to the gooners but then I look forward a few years, and they were all these Wenger out protests. What led to such a fall from grace.
Seemed like he’d lost the dressing room towards the end. Players looked uninspired and unwilling to put the graft in. They saw Ozil coasting and picking up £300k a week for sweet FA and collectively decided to put the bare minimum in.
Arteta knew this and started to clear out the dross to get us to his foggin estandards.
