Just shows that perspective can make people judge events completely differently.
Just as older fans see Wenger slightly differently to younger ones, the players will see him differently as well. People simplify situations these days too much. Seemingly by consensus, a person is either good or evil, a genius or a cretin, and so on. If you disagree with a point, you are labelled as someone with the most extreme view in the other direction.
The reality is always more murky and grey. I suspect that if Wenger does leave, there will be more than one unforeseen side-effect, that we haven't anticipated.
