I would by no means consider Arsenal a small team. Arsenal have International Class players and should be streets ahead of the likes of Aston Villa and Everton. Right now they are struggling to keep pace with them.

That is my whole point. Who brought those International Class Players? who kept Arsenal profitable enough to build that big stadium? Wenger.
If Wenger had gone to Tottenham instead of Arsenal all those years back, maybe they would be the ones with the shinny new stadium and expanding fan base. To compare him with Scolari and only look at his recent record is ridiculous.
In 2006 Ferguson had not won the title for three years, fans were saying he should have retired and wanted the Bayern Munich coach to take over, should they have sacked him then?
