NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Mourinho in a shark infested pool? Yes please.
Pointless poll / thread.
not in a million years.
Douglas Reynholm, you have an extremely vivid imagination.
Never will happen of course.
I still say that if he had been the Arsenal manager instead of ever being the Chelsea manager, then we would all love him instead of despising him.
Would be an absolute disaster, long term. He's toxic. Chequebook manager who has never sustained success anywhere as no-one can stick working with him for long.
It's been said before, but there's a big difference between a manager and a head coach: Wenger is the former; Mourinho is the latter.
If there's a debate to be had here, then it's whether we still need a manager, going forward, or whether we're now set up well enough as a club to be looking at head coaches, with fewer, but more focussed responsibilities? That's an entirely reasonable ask.
But I don't think it's fair to be suggesting that Wenger hasn't been doing his job properly? Up until the last 2 or 3 years, we genuinely needed a manager more than a head coach, and when it comes to running so many aspects of one club (not to mention doing it on a budget in the age of billionaire owners and obscene spending), then Wenger is one of the best 'managers' there's ever been. Mourinho, in the same situation, might have got us a couple of quick trophies, but can you picture him steering us through nearly 10 years of financial restrictions and book-balancing? He'd have ruined us within 2, thinking of nothing but what was best for him, and then left us with the wreckage...
