All things Wenger

Good luck to the man.

Milan stand about as much chance of winning the Italian title as every other team that isn’t Juventus. Which is pretty much zero. If he can get them into the CL on a regular basis again and help restore their status as a club big players would want to play for then I’m sure they’ll be happy.

If it does happen it shows how easily fans are tricked into believing the rumours and bollocks that spreads around the internet. I always had a feeling it was the owner rather than Gazidis who wanted him out. The media love a good ‘narrative’ and this whole play for power soap opera bullshit was exposed the moment Gazidis left to go to Milan.

Moved all these posts to the Wenger topic.
Seems to have jumbled up the order a bit, soz.

Let's hope we draw Milan in the last 16 of the CL whenever we get back into it, it will be a free bye to the next round!

There's no reason why Milan couldn't challenge Juve, they have the history, the finances, they just need a decent manager who signs the right players now, you can't take the attitude that there's no way you can challenge them so why bother or you'll never win anything.

Getting into the top 4 in Italy isn't hard to be honest, like I said there's 2 maximum 3 decent teams, so there's one or two places up for grabs for anyone it's no great achievement, they sit in 4th place at the moment in fact.

Look at the recent list of managers and players they’ve bought. They’ve languished in mid-table for so long that they are no longer the draw they once were, money or not. That’s why they and everyone else can barely touch Juve as the league isn’t a draw in general. CL football and being able pay big money is the combination they need to restore their status. Milan haven’t finished in the top four since 2013. They’ve had foreign money since 2016 but haven’t done much. Look how easily we rolled them over last season. Shows getting into the top 4 in Italy isn’t that easy and money doesn’t guarantee an automatic route to glory.

Neil Bamfield and Boro Primorac, goalkeeping coach Gerry Peyton and fitness coach Tony Colbert, will all be licking their lips. "Lets get the old gang together again. This time over pasta"

Yes very true, they've got a terrible record of bringing in awful managers, they're a very poor side, but spent a fortune was recently, they just don't seem to be able to employ decent managers, if they had they'd be top 4 for sure.

Money can guarantee some success, but you need to pick good managers as well, Milan seem to pick managers that are former players with little experience in management which hasn't worked very well for them, a decent manager would certainly have them challenging Napoli and possibly run Juve close, that man isn't Wenger of course as the best he can get is top 4, anything else is beyond him.

It’s the same reason why they haven’t been able to attract the top tier managers. Partly because ownership has changed hands 3 times in as many years and also because it isn’t the most attractive job anymore. Getting them into the top 4 regularly, attracting better players is their first step. Just like us at the moment. It’s a good fit for Wenger. One they’re established again, then they can kick on.
