Wenger consistently meets the realistic, but unambitious, expectations of the Arsenal board. Champions League every year is decent enough even if us fans are disappointed. Ranieri wasn't being judged relative to winning the league but the reasonable expectation that they should not be drawn into a relegation fight - a expectation that wasn't being met.

I think had Leicester stuck by him then few would have objected but equally this isn't totally unreasonable either.

Also Arsenal can literally afford to back Wenger, can Leicester to back Ranieri if relegation is on the cards?
