Arsene Wenger will he stay?

The end to an era?
The Fa Cup defeat to Blackburn at the Emirates really made Arsenal fans raise their eye brows about the future of Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for eighteen years. Arsene Wenger has finished in the top four for all of his time at Arsenal but know with twelve games left and Arsenal fifth and four points off top four it looks very doubtful.
Over years Arsenal have sold their key players such as: Van Perise, Nasri, Fabregas, Vieria and many more. But the real problem is that Wenger has never replaced them. If you look back at replacements for them they were average. When they sold Nasri and Fabregas in the summer of 2011 they bought Everton midfielder, Arteta. Arteta is a good player but he is not world class. And when they sold Robin Van Perise to their enemy's, Manchester Untied. And to replace him they bought Oliver Giroud and Lukas Poldolski.
From my opinion Arsenal will not sack Wenger because of his history. Wenger led Arsenal to a unbeaten season in 2003/2004. But Arsenal have not won a trophy for eight years and it is saying that do Arsenal need a manager that is hungry to win? Arsenal's best chance of winning a trophy in the eight years was the Carling Cup in 2011 when they lost to Birmingham in the last minute.That season Birmingham were relegated. The Arsenal board have came out today saying " Wenger's jobs safe". But how much longer do Arsenal fans have to wait for a trophy. Arsenal are ready to back Wenger in the summer by giving him £70 million to spend in the summer. Also Arsenal will give him a new two year contract. But if a bid comes in from PSG for Wenger it will be hard to reject from Wenger and Arsenal.
