Or it could be argued that he is an egotistical and power hungry - according to all reports wenger's control within the club went so far as to him picking the colours of the walls and picking out the delph for the new colney when it was built plus it is also well known that wenger refuses to delegate any coaching tasks to any of his assistants so suggesting that he spread himself too thin is ignoring the probability that it is he himself who wants it that way
Re benetiz I will concur that he should be doing better than he is but I also suggested in my previous posts that tactical gameplanning is very much secondary in english football to the point that I have always felt that his tactics cost the scousers a league title a few years ago when he went too conservative when he should have been going for the wins (they lost the league by a point or 2). I should also point out that his points per game ratio is indeed worse than di matteo's but is also better than wengers
It is also a little reported fact that last season avb had a much better points per game ration than champs league winner di matteo[/quote]I heard those reports as well and they could be true - I don't know. You really only hear it from Robson and there are doubts to the veracity of his methods because he is more or less a freelancer who could be drumming up sensationialism for his own pocket. I don't doubt that Wenger is a micro-manager and wants to control as much as possible, but maybe Robson takes it too far. Again, it is hard to know for sure.
There is no argument from me that Wenger is under-achieving this year and I want a new manager, but have come to the quiet acceptance that he will be around for another season, so I will just have to grin and bear it. I do believe that Gazidis will be more than keen to make his first appointment a good one, so I fully trust him to do what needs to be done.
I am now really getting away from the question here which was will Wenger be successful in pastures new? I think that he will be, but I suppose that it also requires what the definition of pastures new means? Another big club? An ambassador role? A FIFA Official?
