The man who led Arsenal to a 49 game unbeaten run , does not become a poor manager all of a sudden. At this moment of crisis , there is no better man to lead Arsenal than the great Wenger himself . No one knows Arsenal FC better than Wenger , David Dein and of course the Arsenal board. And all of them believe Wenger is the right man for the job . Isn't that proof enough ?
Many have, of late , said that Mourinho or Guardiola should be replacing Wenger . But how would that solve the problem ? Excluding his days at Porto , Mourinho has had to spend 100s of millions to buy success while Pep Guardiola has had the good fortune of taking over a team that had the best players in the world. At this moment Arsenals confidence is lower than their position in the league table. Ever since I started following/supporting the Gunners there has been just one point where I felt so low. And that was in the 2004 lent season. Arsenal were knocked out of the FA cup by Manchester United in the Semi-finals on saturday . Then on Wednesday , Chelsea knocked Arsenal out of the Champions league Quarter finals . And on Friday Arsenal welcomed Liverpool to Highbury . Honestly I expected them to lose and choke . And they were losing . It was 2-1 at half time and Liverpool were on top. But out came the players after the break and like a phoenix they rose from the ashes and beat Liverpool 4-2 and from then on they never turned back . So if Arsenal can come out of a situation like that (Losing out on a treble in the space of one week) , I think Wenger can easily steer his team to safety with the expectation much lesser now .
Wenger built his team around Cesc Fabregas and in the summer he left to his boyhood club , Barca . Arsenal will take time to recover from that transfer . Give Wenger time till christmas and I will chew my hat if Arsenal dont start winning and start move up the table by then . Arsene Wenger has been Arsenals most successful manager. He has achieved what many have only dreamt of. He is the only manager in the premier league to take his team through an entire season unbeaten . Not even SAF could do it . Many believe Wenger is reluctant to spend. That maybe true. But also consider the fact that he has Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Ox Chamberlain in his current squad. They are all young and yet to hit top form but they are already household names . They are supposed to be the future of English football .What that also means is financial stability. He does not have to give out hige wages . Arsenal's profit keeps increasing and the debts keep decreasing. What other club has this scenario ?
Another reason why Wenger is the right man for the job is his reputation to unearth young and unknown talents . Who knew Eduadro da silva or van Persie or Adebayor or even Cesc Fabregas before they all came to Arsenal ?
Arsene Wenger has never known a darker period in all his time at Arsenal, receiving unprecedented questions as to his ability to deliver results for the club. His past successes, however, will stand him in good stead as he battles to prove why he is still the right man to lead Arsenal to title glory once more.
Wenger has built an incredible infrastructure at the club, one which is envied by the majority of Europe, and because of this he has become the club’s greatest custodian during his 15-year spell in North London.
He is not without criticism, but there are a number of reasons why Arsenal should hang on to Wenger—a manager whom many will say is still the right man for the job.
And one final thing - In Arsene We Trust !
