Arsène Wenger has dismissed José Mourinho as “silly and disrespectful” after the Chelsea manager taunted him as a “specialist in failure” for not winning any trophies since 2005. ”I am embarrassed for him” said Wenger. “I am more disappointed for Chelsea than for me. I don’t want to get into those silly disrespectful remarks.”
It was the right response. No manager can name another manager “specialist in failure” – especially if the “specialist” has won more Premier League titles and FA Cup trophies than him.
I am not a great advocate of Wenger’s coaching ability. I am an admirer of Jose Mourinho’s coaching skills.
However, in Wenger’s “unsuccessful period” (9 years without a trophy) he did everything his employers asked him to do. He is responsible for a £57m profit in the transfer market alone. His squad was younger and cheaper than the rivals’ squads and he still managed to reach the Champions League every “unsuccessful” season. His policy made it possible for Arsenal to move into a £407m stadium. He has developed an academy that is one of the best players producers in Europe.
In his “unsuccessful period” Wenger faced teams that invested so much more than him and managed to “stay in the game”.
Since 2003 Chelsea’s Net outlay on players was £56,451,800 per season. Manchester City’s net spend was £95,990,000 per season. Manchester United and Liverpool have spent £18m each per season. While Tottenham’s net spend was £8,959,091 per season. How much did Wenger spend since 2003? £1,573,182 per season.
Chelsea have spent 37.6 times more than Wenger. Are they 37 times better than his team?
Wenger’s net spent on players since 1996/97 stands at about £2.8 per season. Mourinho’s net outlay on players as a Chelsea manager? £53m per season.
Yeah, Mourinho won the Champions League twice – Tony Barton has done it once. And in three years as a Real Madrid manager, with the most expensive squad ever built, Mourinho won one championship and one cup.

Wenger’s legacy is a new stadium (that should be named after him), a new training complex and an excellent academy. Wenger turned Arsenal from a British giant into a European super club. In many ways Wenger is also responsible for the professionalization of the Premier League.
Wenger raised and nurtured greats such George Weah, Robin Van Persie and Ashley Cole and also responsible for the careers of World Cup winners such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira. Cesc Fabregas and Lilian Thuram. So many players have thanked Wenger for their careers.
I think that Mourinho, who has spent most of his career as a salaried employee of oil barons and oligarchs, is jealous of Wenger’s legacy.

I agree completely with dis write up
