>>60754 Thankyou. Got in before I could say the same thing. Wenger's not been hounded by the press because Arsenal won the Premier League title within 18 months of him arriving. What people forget is that he already had a back 4 and goalie that was excellent, the rest of the team gelled well and he won the league, but if you're building something, it always has to start in defence these days because you can't concede goals easily and expect to win things. It took Ferguson 7 YEARS to build his team, and he bought the most expensive team in history during that time and still won nothing and was nearly sacked for it. Winning the FA Cup saved his job. Now they're saying Benitez winning the European Cup for the 2nd time in 4 years might not save his job. Just a small case of double standards I think.
Chelsea are just funny, sacking Mourinho was ridiculous, akin to the sacking of Del Bosque by Real Madrid years ago after he won La Liga but failed to win the European Cup in the same season. That started Real's downward spiral which was only arrested by Capello, who was then promptly sacked. I lol'd heartily. That's the only reason why I'm not scared of Real 'poaching' Benitez off us, who'd want to manage Real? Seriously? They feel none of the shame Liverpool are about boardroom squabbles and the like. The situation with Gillet and Hicks currently is embarrassing, but they'll still go before Rafa does. Only now are the press even realising that he's managed to hold the team together well despite all the rumblings above him. What he's had to go through is a disgrace.
