When Le Professeur first arrived in the Premier League, he was a revolutionary. He changed views on diets, transfer policy and philosophy, transforming Arsenal from nearly-men into unbeatable champions.

But now, almost two decades later, as is often the case with revolutionary leaders, he's an immovable tyrant standing in the way of genuine progress. It's time for another cult of personality in north London - and his name is Jurgen Klopp.

That may seem out of context with the club's recent results. The Gunners are the Premier League's form side of 2015, winning eleven of a possible 13 to claim 33 points of a possible 39, whilst keeping six clean sheets and improving their league standing from sixth to second. There's been a notable change in their philosophy too; shrewd, savvy game-management and a balanced starting Xi for the first time in years, polarising the tiki-taka-inspired unfulfilled fantasies of prior campaigns.

Indeed, this could be viewed as Arsenal's most successful season since 2004/05 if they sprinkle a little FA Cup glory over their anticipated runner-up finish - an unquestionable improvement on recent times.

But as is often the case with immovable tyrants, it's just a compromise - public appeasement so the power-brokers can continue enjoying the luxury of their ivory thrones, when in reality nothing has changed at all.

The 2014 FA Cup should've been Wenger's parting gift to Arsenal. It was his opportunity to leave on a high upon the expiration his contract whilst tacitly admitting the club had stagnated under his leadership, spending almost a decade without a trophy in the purgatory between fourth and third, only once surpassing the Champions League's quarter-finals.

Because although there's been improvements over the last few months, Hollywood finishes to otherwise forgettable campaigns are Arsenal's hallmark. In 2012/13, they spent just two weeks in the top four before mid-April. In 2011/12, they didn't make the top four until February and eventually finished in third. There's a never-ending pattern of apathetic starts and false dawns with Wenger the only true constant.

The idea of him winning another Premier League title before leaving Arsenal is pure fantasy. The Gunners haven't lifted the English crown since 2004, come higher than third since 2005, and in that time period have finished, on average, 15 points off the top of the table. Only during two seasons, 2007/08 and 2013/14, have they finished less than ten points behind the eventual leaders. This season's expected placing of second is an anomaly - not a sign of the north London club awakening from dormancy.

If Arsenal wish to break the glass ceiling between them and the English crown, a top-down revolution is gravely needed. And there's no better candidate in world football at the minute than Jurgen Klopp, who revealed his resignation from Borussia Dortmund yesterday afternoon.

Dortmund play good football, aesthetic stuff Wenger would be proud of. But rather than whimsical notions nomadic midfields, left-backs at centre-half and sentencing opponents to death by a thousand passes, it's spawned from structure, discipline and tenacity - characteristics Arsenal have rarely shown during Wenger's last decade, barring the last four months.

But perhaps most important is Klopp's booming personality. Wenger's become increasingly involved in almost every aspect of Arsenal as a football club during his reign. He's now entrenched in every department, interlinked with the club's soul, so when he leaves there will be an almighty void to fill.

David Moyes' nightmare ten months at Manchester United is a warning of what happens when managers can't absorb the vacuum, but the Dortmund boss - loud, garish, humorous, animated and passionate - has always given the impression of the rest of the world revolving around him.

That's the kind of strong character every major club needs to be successful, whilst Klopp's youthful arrogance, his outgoing demeanor, his loudness, in direct polarisation of Wenger, would provide Arsenal with the shock doctrine they need to truly awaken from their decade-spanning slumber.

Unfortunately, however, Arsenal won't be swapping Klopp for Wenger any time soon. The promising end to the current season has made his position safer than any point over the last five years. Although Gunners fans will undoubtedly rejoice when their club finishes second and wins the FA Cup this year, ironically, it's an innocuous achievement preventing real progress at the Emirates.
