I also think a lot of responses to what i have had to say has been directed at me like i am pro-wenger or a wenger apologist, but i am also quite conservative and risk adverse and i have quite consistently stated that i don't want someone to come in who has no previous experience of winning major silverware and managing at the top level (i.e champions league) therefore for me the "name that manager" game as you call it would be crucial to my decision making.
But and this is the important point it's all academic, unless he relegates us or gets arrested in relation to Op Yewtree investigations he is with us till 2017; it was a poor decision by the board but unfortunately we have to live with it.
