Martin Keown says Arsene shouldn't go yet. Another contract 1or 2 yrs long so he can help the board choose his successor and train him in the Wenger ways and guess what! We get a clone of Arsene Wenger
Brilliant Martin effing Brilliant.

Benitez is on the shortlist!

I think the board are putting that name out so we call for wenger instead. Lol while benitez only makes my top 100, he's still in front of wenger. Lol.
Its all paper talk.

HG as if we need time to integrate a successor, no other club needs that, i like keown but he's always been a few bricks short of a wall.

Still in front of wenger?! Benitez!? Come on Steve I'm up for a change but let's not be disrespectful. Wenger is s much better manager than him.

I'm not personally a fan of Benitez! However how do you back up your comment 'Wenger is a much better manager than him' because you can't use trophys won to prove that point. So your been completely subjective and should change your comment to I prefer Wenger or I don't like the way benetez sets up his teams!

D16, i'm not going to start trying to defend benitez but you say wenger is a better manager. What has benitez done wrong to say that. he's managed more bigger clubs than most, he's won trophies at nearly every club he's managed, including the champs league. He usually does the job that is asked of him and plays good football to boot. He certainly wouldn't come here with no expectations. He went to chelski and they didn't want him but he did a good enough job to stop their moaning and won fans round. All I said was I would have him today over wenger, not twelve years ago. But I would choose many before him.

D and no I don't think wenger is a much better manager than him, as you put it.
13 Feb 2017 11:56:35
D I've changed my mind, I would have benitez as manager, I've just looked at his record, since 2002, 12 trophies, including leagues, fa, europa, champs league, world club, personal include la liga manager of the year, twice eufa manager of the year. Yes he is better than wenger and I hope the board are after him. Wenger better my arsenal.
