The three reasons the man was loved are the three reasons he is disrespected today :
1. He brought through and coached young players into being top talent.
2. He played front foot, stylish football.
3. In the face of exorbitant transfer fees he was shrewd.
Because today big teams have zero interest in developing players, because they sacrifice flair and because money is no object -
Arsene Wenger's principles have no value.
It is a miracle that Iwobi, Coquelin, Ramsey, Giroud, Walcott, Oxlade, Gabriel and Gibbs are in a top four club let alone playing Bayern Munich in the knockout stages.
Will the new manager bring success? - Only with £100 million budget/season
Will we ever see a teenager play for us again? - Never
Will our style of football be compromised? - Yes

Right up until he retired Sir Alex brought through young players, didn't pay over the odds for new talent - only what was required at the time to maintain position and played attacking attractive football.
------------------------
Oh the delusion!
35 million on Berbatov to warm the bench?
Buying our best player in Van Persie?
Stop it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Berbatov who was PL top scorer in a title winning season? RVP who was required to maintain position.
Perhaps you should stop and think before you post.
================
So we are agreed.
Ferguson outspent Wenger.
He was an excellent chequebook manager;

I bought carrots today for a stew I'm making. I must be a checkbook cook because I didn't grow them myself.
Wenger is bad in the transfer market and at building squads with the tools required to succeed. That is his flaw, not anyone else's. The man can't tell when he needs a toothpick or a shotgun.

Its the same old rubbish that Chelsea roll out today.
"Look at our spend today"....ignoring the fact that the squad is already packed with players who cost an average of 30 million quid.
Cant wait for City to start winning everything and then turn round and tell you "But we spent less than you this year"

For the last 10 plus years since the league winning season the tic tac passing has done nothing except create a few highlight goals against average opposition.
------------------------
What are you on about?
As a Chelsea fan you should know better.
So when you win the league its against good opposition is it?
But when you cant make the top 4 its something else?

£90 million on Pogba as opposed to our 50 pence on Coquelin and you are playing Saint Etienne tonight.
We are a miracle.

That wasn't Fergie though. And I'd have Pogba... I'd have had him from Fergie's reign.

Agreed Pogba is Wenger boy. A Vieira/Diaby rolled into one.
