Would you swap Wenger for any other manager in the Prem?Originally Posted by Grebbo
I'd swap him for Fergie, nobody else.
Would any other manager in the world get our squad higher than 3rd?
Fergie would, Mourinho, possibly Hiddink, I even think Klopp maybe able to.
This, and this is why fans are frustated, some feel he can be doing better instead of Settling for CL footie etc.
You have to give him credit for this season though, after the sunderland game he could havetold these lot not to worry th is ok etc and be done but they fought and look to finish strong. from where we were you had loads who said we been relegated and sillyness like that never gave us a chance.
Fergie sure
Mourinho no chance. I said "current squad" not "current squad and open chequebook".
Hiddink did well with a brilliant Chelsea team. A team full of winners. It's a possibility like you say but worth replacing Wenger for him?
Klopp I know nothing about.
Hey Charlie, I gave him credit for the turnaround but not the season, he caused this mess so he was the one who should have got us out of it and to be fair he has.
For me he's still very much on trial.
To be fair Mourinho's reputation of being a "chequebook" manager is slightly unfair, he did very well in Portugal prior to coming to Chelsea with a fairly limited budget. I don't like Mourinho as a person but rate him as probably the 2nd best Manager in World Football. Chequebook or not he can mould a team into winners.
No way id swap him for anyone in the prem apart from fergie and maybe AVB in a few years.
The rest would not be good enough to take us where we want to be.
AW has never been Shit, thats just something to make the doom and gloom mongers feel better.
Not only is Wenger the best manager in the PL but he's also the greatest person to grace the earth.
Wenger
God
everyone else.
Kudos to you and id agree, imo he has to prove to me he is still the right man lol, but he hasto take the blame even some for why we are this way.
Porto were already the biggest club in Portugal when he took over weren't they? (I genuinely don't know) They were bloody lucky to knock Manure out of the Champs Lge. He still did an amazing job with them - no doubt. He's also an amazing manager. He's made great personal moves though (Chelsea - very good team and unlimited budget, Inter were champions when he took over weren't they?, Madrid....I admit finishing above that Barca team would be some achievement but being able to spend £80m on one player does help.
You change your line of thinking more times than Letters says "...that Wenger is some kind of bumbling idiot..."
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
