Match Reaction v Aston Villa

[Marc Overmars]

He might be their best manager ever, but id not say he is the best manager ever.

I would say he is, but then I don't know how the discussion has moved onto this. Match threads are getting weirder.

Weird how you seek to change the subject when the reasons for the comparisons are obvious. They are managers in the same league who USED to challenge for the same competitions. All you do with your logical foxtrotting is prove the point of Wenger detractors. YES the clubs are run differently, One is set up to win things and the other is.......What is the reason for Arsenal FC these days anyway........ Oh yes...Its to keep Monsieur Wenger happy.

I've never compare the 2 or i have never said Wenger was better then Fergie, never ever once said that. All i said it was dumb to compare clubs and if you read i said they have been run diffrent before Wenger came and when he was winning. I have not said anything about them not competeing in the same league.

Im saying i don't see the point, we are not run like them and we never will be even when Wenger goes.

I never compared us to them even when we were challenging for silverware, maybe thats just me.

Seems that way.

Yeah it's a misleading article. The Stadium naming rights aren't worth much on their own, so it should have us at £30m/season and 2nd on the list.

So as things stand in 5 years time we would have received all the £150m and be able to renegotiate again for a shirt sponsorship to receive a similar amount?

I suppose so. As long as someone is willing to pay it.

You`re doing the same thing all over again. Vehemently rejecting things that nobody said. No one here accused you of saying Wenger is better than Fergie. Why is it dumb to compare clubs. OK, i get it. We are not really in the same league and never were,,,,that seems to be your argument. Ok accepted. What I am saying is that it seems we are no longer competing in that psuedo league below that of ManU. We are a once proud club existing to stay in the top 10. Forgive some of us for lamenting that fact.

name me 1 other manager who has been more successful in a regular, long lasting fashion?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

TBH there are not many that stand in his way. . .SAF has been given money when he wanted it but nothing like the amounts that the Chavs and Citeh have been given.

He has been successful in ever era he has managed in, the latest being the era of money shitters and player whores

Some might say beetroot face just isn't brave enough to step outside of his comfort zone...

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

i think fighting off various waves of investment and different teams over the past 30 years offsets that argument.

he saw off liverpool, us, chelsea and will do the same with city.

you can point to cloughy but he never had the level of competition fergie has faced. nor did he have to deal with player egos, agents, sheikhs and the commercialisation of the modern game.
