If we finish 3rd Wenger is the best manager in the league

(Except for that bastard Fergie).

Would you swap Wenger for any other manager in the Prem?

Would any other manager in the world get our squad higher than 3rd?

Kinda makes you think that he's not that shit after all.

Only Fergie is better than him in the Prem. He probably would have won something with this lot in the past 7 years.

He's not a shit manager by any stretch and it's ridiculous to suggest so. The issue is whether he is good enough to win trophies in the current footballing climate, and of course the next step for the club is to land some silverware.

It goes;

Fergie
Wenger






Everyone else.

The idea that Wenger is a bumbling idiot and anyone could walk in and we'd be winning trophies left, right and centre is laughable.

In the Premier League? Probably not, right now anyway (save for Ferguson of course). I wouldn't mind taking a chance on either Brendan Rodgers or Paul Lambert after he goes though, both of those have taken the time to learn things from playing or coaching in other countries.

I wouldn't say getting us to third is a better achievement than Paul Lambert taking Norwich to the top half after two successive promotions though but third is the best we could have hoped for given how things started off. I'd have liked us to have done more in the FA Cup but maybe that would've contributed to halting our league form.

Yeah Lambert has done an amazing job, manager of the year for sure. Someone young and with the right philosophy would be ideal for us after Wenger goes, Rogers and Lambert both fit the bill.

Has Rodgers coached in another country? Not according to Wiki, unless you're counting Wales! Not quite convinced yet. David Moyes has consistently been the only PL manager I'd be happy to see taking over from Arsenal, but I wouldn't swap Arsene for him.

Yeah, he has. Not with a club but he has been there and learnt things, he said he learnt from Barcelona when he was travelling in Spain (he said all this on Goals on Sunday not so long ago).
