Wenger hasn't finished outside the top four since 1995 or something

I'm aware of that but the point is he's managed to keep his Arsenal side competitive for a decade while being outspent in net terms by every single other Premiership club.

Rafa has one year where the net spend is zero and we're out of the CL, FA Cup and Carling Cup before Christmas and now in 7th in the league.(In his 6 years he's outspent everyone bar Chelsea and Man City.)

Wenger is absolutely miles ahead of Benitez

Not in the last half a decade though.
[/quote]

Wenger has been operating on a net loss for about six years now. Rafa's team fell to pieces after one year without spending.

[/quote]

Yep, and if this ruling about net profit & wages etc comes in Wenger will be able to afford top class players as a result, most other clubs wont.

A dissalowed perfectly good away goal robbed us of a final this season.

Since Rafa came to England, Wenger has dropped below him in the succes stakes, 6 semi finals, 4 finals 2 cups, compared to Wenger 4 semi finals 2 finals and one cup.

Wenger has also finished below Rafa in the League in THREE of the last FIVE years!

If Wenger doesn't want to spend and would rather balance the books than compete, then thats a fault surely?

Saying 'he hasn't spent as much as Rafa' is NO ARGUMENT in fact it should go against Wenger as a major flaw in his reasoning!

He also has finaished below Rafa in 3 of the last 5 seasons, again a fact.
[/quote]

3 in the last 6.
 
Wenger hasn't been able to spend money because of the cost of building the stadium. There hasn't been any money at Arsenal for quite a while, and that's why Usmanov tried to force a rights issue to give Wenger money to spend.

Wenger chooses to get on with it and find other ways of winning, Rafa moans to press.
 
Also, Wenger has gone on a mad 'kiddies' experiment recently (perhaps to save money and pay off a stadium). Before that, when he had Henry and Vieira and was spending money, he was a top manager and won trophies.
 
Thats not true Ross, Wenger has had money to spend for the last couple of seasons, but has chosen not to.

He's had 30 mill + according to their chairman. This is doing the head in of all my Arsenal supporting mates.
 
The debate is in reply to the 'Its Trophys that count' comment.

I was merly pointing out that Rafa is better Trophy wise than Wenger (and league finishing wise) since he came to England, and anyone who thinks Wenger should be 'sacked' or 'moved on' should be considered an idiot.

McLeish vs Hodgson?

Riikjard vs Jol?
 
Oh I also read that since Rafa came to us, he has earned over 130 Million in league placings and cup runs in his time here, where the heck would we be now without that and who (especially 'who in England at the mo') could get us that over the next 5-6 years?

[/quote]You know what. You're right. Rafa is doing a great job. Let's keep him. I mean he spends well, rarely signs a flop, has a fluid approach to tactics/substitutions etc, he's got a great record against the other top 4 teams, he struggles on with nary a penny or two to rub together, and he does all this (not to mention making us 130m) with amazing good graces, temperament, attitude. He doesn't go in for game playing, using players, press as pawns or anything like that, and most importantly he doesn't air our dirty laundry in public and do childish things like wear a tracksuit to highlight the poor sacrificial life of the 'coach'
I don't know where my heads been at, but you've certainly put me back on the straight and narrow.
DOWN WITH THE REVOLUTION! FOUR MORE YEARS!

He has 30 million now, he hasn't had anything previously and he recently admitted as much for the first time
 
when he took over this club, the team was still capable of taking the field with an auroa of superiority and a confidence. something the club took decades to obtain. even under houllier when we lost ot barnsely it was a complete shock and if you replayed the game 9 more times you felt it wouldn't happen again. arsenal have that same auroa, and likewise the games they lose are all shocks that couldn't happen more than 1 in a 10 times. benitez has managed to destroy that confidence and superiority. he's made us ordinary

its like you leave benitez to look after your house while your away. and when you return you find a pile of rubble. i don't want to fucking hear the cunt blabbing on about not having enough money to repair the roof and put in a new kitchen. fuck the fucking roof and the ktichen, its a fucking pile of rubble you collossal fucking retard. rafa benitez is the real life version of frank spencer

rafa is pretty funny, credit where it's due. the glasses thing about the ref was another classic. he's like our version of peter mandelson.

[/quote]hahahahaha that really got me Dantes well played.
I wonder who likes Benitez the most on this site nowadays?
Asbo? Spionkop? Spiderneil? Khl?
And I wonder who hates him the most?

[/quote]I am. I think Dantes has nailed it though. We're arguing about how we fix the roof when the house is a pile of rubble.

I want Rafa gone. But I don't understand how people can say the squad is a pile of a rubble when many (including Oncy) thought we might win the league this year, and Alonso apart, we have the squad that came close last year. We might say Rafa isn't the person to take us any further, but not that what he built is a sack of shite.

Despite our troubles this year, our team isn't the apocalyptic nightmare that's being depicted.
