The first two decades of Arsene Wenger's reign were successful in their own ways. His first 10 years saw him win trophies and set new records, making Arsenal a force to reckon with in England and in Europe.
However, the second decade was all about ensuring Arsenal remained competitive in the face of adverse financial difficulties. In such a climate, qualifying for the Champions League every season was required thanks to the added revenue.
For a club like Arsenal, those precious millions of pounds from playing in Europe were instrumental in building the squad and retaining the young stars they had.
From season to season, Wenger somehow managed to ensure they finished fourth despite every club's efforts and every other pundit's predictions.
That run came to an end when he eventually finished fifth in his 21st season but compare his record to managers of old and one can understand how he made Arsenal the club it is today.
