Stats before this season (6 seasons). 9 - Different Managers have won a cup (Liverpool v Cardiff next week so that'll be 10) Ferguson (8) Mourinho (3) Ancelotti (2) Hiddink (1) Mancini (1) BenÃtez (1) Redknapp (1) McLiesh (1) Ramos (1) 7 - Different teams have won a cup Man Utd (8) Chelsea (6) Man City (1) Liverpool (1) Portsmouth (1) Birmingham (1) Spurs (1) Ok so we've finished top 4 in all those seasons but who's going to remember that in 20 years. Success breeds success and we don't have the wining strength, mentality (or whatever you want to call it) 2 of the above teams aren't even in the Premier League anymore yet had what it takes to win something
Kids growing up as Arsenal fans will soon be saying to their dads ' are you kidding me - when did WE ever win anything !!!'
No other manager in world football would be allowed to get away with the failures Wenger has presided over in the last 7 years. Far too cosy, and I am so so glad they didnt put a statue of him outside our ground.
No other manager would have bought into the sustainable model of that egghead CEO and gone into bed with the board. 6.5m a year buys a lot it seems but not success.
