Wenger - does he even understand whats wrong?

Fair enough. What I meant is that having not played to any real level - the attributes in question are unlikely to have been something that he learnt as a player. Then take his background and character - and you are searching for how they would form part of his make up.

I understand but the same could be said for Ferguson and Mourinho. Conversely, neither Pele nor Maradona were really successful as managers.

But we're not dealing in absolutes, are we? I have explained why the relevant attributes are at the heart of SAF. Mourinho may not have played but he is a supremely astute and talented manager who like others is able clearly to assess the needs of the leagues in which he manages.

I am not saying you have to have played to understand...I am saying that AW lately does not appear to understand what is needed and his lack of experience as a winning player may be a factor here.
