Panna King Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 What are everyones greatest Arsene Wenger moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The doubles! But fundamentally the complete and total change of brand of football Arsenal had under Wenger. It's the first time I've ever witnessed a club that had a completely different philosophy ingrained in its nature into the total opposite. That for me is his greatest feat for me.

Honey Honey Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 His artistic genius. To purposefully struggle to do his zip up as a metaphor for the last 10 years at Arsenal was excellent. It should be in the Tate Modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Arsene defenders go on about how the press have had a lot to do with Arsene’s hounding by the fans. But the truth is that he out of most of the managers has had it easy for most of his time at the club. At no other club with Arsenal’s resources would a manager last that long under the same scenario he has been in. That 8-2 he got off lightly with and it’s hardly ever mentioned. Look at Mourinho... The 5-0 defeat to Barça is a staple diet of anything critical in Spain with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if the bourd won't invest. You said it was more complacated than that in another thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board (shareholders) run the club like a business more than any other club is ran in the world of football. But he’s been a “YES MAN” all the way in all of that and unlike other managers that are vocal about those sorts of things. He has NEVER spoken out against the board while he HAS criticised the fans. So for those that have digested the whole scenario taking everything into account, he (Wenger) isn’t exempt from criticism in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time it could be argued that whoever was there would have a lower budget than some clubs. I guess we'll see what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Liverpool and spurs have similar resources. I wouldn't imagine we could match city and utd spending. I think it would be hard to match Chelsea's as they have a lot of investment.

We have the finances to buy whatever we want but our club is run as a shareholder business. So we spend with that in mind... So we are in competition with Liverpool and Spurs. You do agree that we are the 6th richest club in the world though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panna King Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Wenger was brillant until became a yes man. He played some of the best football the Prem has ever seen plus the undefeated record is one of the greatest achievements, He will always be remembered for that.

Personally I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject. One thing I did think is that the list will probably take into account all assets. So the stadium would be worth more than some clubs stadiums. I think it can be s bit more complicated than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can with the money Arsenal generate, also the people on the board are some of the richest people in the world. The problem is Kroneke doesnt want to spend his own money, even when the Emirates was bulit the finance from the Highbury development went into one of the other companies and not back into the football club, which could of paid off the new stadium. There has just been alot bullshit from the board and Wenger has covered it all up for them as he has been rewarded well for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @SirBalon are clearly very knowledgeable but its always good to look things up your self. Out of interest @SirBalon you saidsaid in another thread that Wenger hadhad money to spend she. The Emirates had just been built but it was more complicated than that and not all his fault. What were you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
