Let's bear in mind that it wasn't in their past achievements that Royston was comparing Murray with Wenger, but in their personality traits and current behaviour.
There are some similarities I think. The way Wenger reacted with indignant shock at the very notion that his job might not be 100% secure until the end of his contract shows how far out of touch he is with the reality for many Arsenal fans. Murray is equally out of touch with Charlton's fans, preferring as he does the company of a few toadies and apologists.
Wasn't that the slant the media took with regards Curbs and the 'many fans' who wanted him out...That wasn't even close to being true because those fans were only ever in the minority.....Fans like Reams who simply go into 'sack the manager' default mode when things don't go to their liking.
Venger's indignation is somewhat understandable considering what he's achieved at Arsenal, unlike Murray who should've done what was best for Charlton long before the mistakes snowballed.
Murray had a choice - Sell when you have something worth selling, or stay on the ego ride.
