Wenger is not the equivalent of dog food. If he wins the EL he should get one more year. I think with Sven forcing good players on him again we will be back to 06 - 07’ Wenger ball and we can win the league going away. He will still prove everyone wrong.
Auba, Laca, Miki, Özil, Ramsey, and Sven will add a legit holding mf, winger, and defender in the summer. That’s finally going to be a title worthy side in terms of talent. City will probably take a step back, Mo will be in full 3rd season meltdown, Chelsea will have a change in manager, scum are gonna lose some players and their manager. Lolpool will be our only competition next season, and Klopp is a choke artist. Plenty of room for optimism.
I don’t know why people were so harsh on Rafa. He’s a very sensible option
He’s quietly gone about building a very functional side at Newcastle which is punching above its weight considering the dodgy owner, limited funds and squad full of championship level players.
He’s in the top 10 with a game in hand, that impressive management considering the shambles the club was in 2 seasons ago
Eh sure Benetiz can organise a defence etc but he’s also too cautious and doesn’t play expansive football.
He’s a good manager, however, there are more than a few others that can bring what he brings to the table whilst also playing exciting football for him to be a main contender.
@sevchenko and I have been advocating for him for a while.
He is also the opposite of Wenger in terms of being on the arse of all the players all the time. To his detriment at Real Madrid but something our bunch of fools are crying out for.
