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.
Fans became disenfranchised with his sides, as the same flaws kept appearing again and again, but he seemed blind to it. Arsenal became a feeble, weak team, easily bullied out of games and mentally fragile, and those two weaknesses were the antithesis of what the 1998 to 2006 Arsenal was
To 2004. In 2004-2005, we started to see early signs of a soft underbelly and mental fragility developing, in my opinion…
