I'm not saying Wenger it out right better than Mourinho, both have their relative merits but I think what Wenger has achieved is on the whole far more impressive.
Wenger is a great manager in the overall sense, managing the team and club, handling certain constraints some legitimate some self imposed but he's not on Mourinho's level strictly measuring performance and results on the pitch regardless of the money involved. Mourinho's detractors point to the bundle of money he's had but winning the treble with Inter Milan was remarkable money or no money. Do you think Wenger could have done the same, masterminding wins over, Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. I don't think any manger could. He's the best at achieving the best results with capable players.
Would Wenger win the league with Real Madrid up against this Barcelona side?
Wenger's praised because he didn't have as much money as his rivals and its assumed he'd be even greater but give him the same resources as Mourinho and I think its clear he wouldn't achieve what he has.
