Less not we forget he also managed to destroy a Mourinho treble winning Inter team in the space of six months. Plus there's also the fact he's fat.
I don't think it's even a contest between the pair of them tbh. Wenger will go down as one of the greats, idolised by Arsenal fans and well respected by the entire footballing community for his work revolutionising the PL alongside Fergie whereas as Benitez just won't.
It really isn't a surprise that Wenger's done a lot better the last couple of years when we've as a club have finally had the same or close to the same resources as our rivals at the tops.
I await to see how Bentiez does at a massive club like Real but given the signs so far I suspect it won't be that well. I doubt he'd even survive one year let alone the three years he's been given.
