Did I just read that the guy who is the most successful FA Cup manager in its 145 year history is the guy who devalued it? :confused:

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
You're confused at the fact he was one of those who devalued the competition by playing weakened teams and effectively branding it a 2nd tier competition, I don't get it.
As for being the most successful, well yes but he's been managing at one club for 20 odd years, not many other managers have done this, so it's no surprise he's the most successful tbh. Everything needs some context.
How is it no surprise he is the most successful? What does managing one club have to do with it?
The only thing confusing is your logic.

Wenger saying 4th place is more important than the FA Cup helped devalue the cup. There is no denying some on here agreed with him when he said that.
Most other top managers have managed abroad so they've not spent 20 years in the PL, pretty simple really.
Add to that the fact this cup is no longer high priority for the big clubs.
Spot on, nice to get a trophy and all that but we don't need to pretend the FA Cup is what it use to be back in the days when we won the double, 15 years ago no top club would dream of playing a weakened side in the FA Cup, now it happens all the way until the semi finals (and sometimes even then when they have a CL or big league game).
The record of who has won it suggests otherwise. You said it is no surprise Wenger won it so often.
Given what you have said about him, it should be more surprising than when Surprisey McSurpriseface leapt out of the Surprise cake at his brother Supersurprise's surprise birthday party at number 7 Surprise Street, Surpriseville.

Do not adjust your brain. Keep arms and legs inside the car.
Purely financially it is.
The cup was devalued long before Wenger made that statement though. I think Man United as holders dropping out of it to play in the intercontinental cup did that.
