Is Arsene Wenger a failure? Fuck No

It didn't take long for the "Happy One" to show his true colours. What is it with Jose Mourinho towards Arsene Wenger? or for that matter bar Alex Ferguson, Mourinho always had a disregard for managers who didn't fall for his charade. For Arsene Wenger read Rafael Benitez, Pep Guardiola, Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini and Titi Vilanova. 

Never ceases to amaze me how the British fall for the bullshit, "the little horse" that is Chelsea Football Club who have a side assembled for more than 250 million are far from a little horse. Which brings me to his comments on Wenger yesterday, just like the Voyeur comments all those years ago to describe Arsene Wenger -- "He is a specialist in failure," - 

Sorry I am not an Arsenal fan but what the biggest load of bollocks that has ever been said about a manager who changed the ethos and thinking of how football is coached in England. Arsene Wenger changed Arsenal Football Club completely, extended careers, produced many and shined a few diamonds throughout his time at the Gunners. Yes, Arsenal haven't won a trophy in coming on 8 years, imagine if Bill Shankly was around today. Liverpool didn't win a trophy for 7 year after the FA Cup win in 1965 does that impede the great man to be a failure fuck no. Which is why the likes of Mourinho needs to look at himself, not since his Porto side of 10 years ago has Mourinho built any sort of legacy even at Porto there was none.

Look at the bare facts, Inter Milan suffered drastically after his spending at that club so much so Inter are a shadow of a club these days not even relevant in Serie A terms they are so far behind. Real Madrid, the biggest club in world football, lost the dressing room, marginalised players, not too mention the eye gouging incident. He was run out of Spain by the media who didn't fall for the bullshit. 

Easy to be a cheque-book manager which until Mourinho builds a legacy like Wenger that is how many will judge him who see beyond the "Special One" crap, while there is no denying Mourinho is one of the best managers of his generation they way gets every inch out of his players. The crass way of describing one of the best managers to ever grace the English game in my opinion fly's in the face of managers like Ferguson, Busby, Clough, Shankly, Paisley, Chapman, Mee, Stein, Struth managers who built legacies despite lean periods but that's what makes them greats. Until then Mourinho is not on the same level of Arsene Wenger or any of those managers.
