Do you still want Wenger as Arsenal manager?

Mourinho spent 11M a season net while he was at Chelsea.

Yep.

Never mind as this is wrong, I'll

I don't know how much he spend but it doesn't really matter. Chelsea had already spent shitloads to get where they were. He pushed them over the line and that is because he's a brilliant manager. Point is Chelsea and City wouldn't be above us were it not for the money. I'm not sure that even needs debating, it's obviously true.

Yep.

that sounds like a mad stat. he spent quarter mill in three seasons, so how is that figure so low?


ah, just seen.

The 11M per season figure net was for Fergie, not Mourinho, over the last 5 years.

My bad.

11 million? That's one hell of a wine bill.

I always thought the Mourinho effect was overstated; had we not just gone a season unbeaten, they would have won it. In a way, we have never truly recovered from when that run came to an end. The collapse that seemed a prelude of what was to come...

I'd say that's fairly reasonable, but the point is Wenger is at that level. Not many managers are.
People act on here as if he's this bumbling idiot. If we replace him then unless we get another manager at that level, and there aren't that many around, then it's not going to fix all our problems.

You've got to admit, he makes some real odd statements that makes him look bad. At the moment, we look stale and a new manager could fix our problems, on the field at least. I don't watch enough of the other leagues to name another top manager that can take over from Wenger and I suspect that's the same for most fans. But that doesn't mean they don't exist and wouldn't want a chance to coach one of the best clubs in the world.

Can't argue with any of that

My bad.

Selling a player for £80 million is a pretty big anomaly though.
