Lucky with a squad mainly of his own building who he turned into better players

Read Adams’ autobiography. He said there was no way he’d have lasted another six years in top flight football without Wenger

The season after the invincibles, Chelsea came in and set a record for premier league points

No Wenger isn’t at the level of Mourinho at his best. Nor will he go down as one of the greatest managers of all time.

But to say it was just luck is disingenuous. Yes we’d done well under Graham but Graham became stale and we were nowhere by the time Wenger took over as manager, certainly not champions in waiting.

His sell by date ran out years ago and instead of recognising this the club gave him unparalleled control over the club.
