Wenger named best manager of the decade

[Danny]

These are my top ten managers:
1. Sir Alex Ferguson
2. Jose Mourinho
3. Arsene Wenger (felt i had to put him here)
4. Ian Holloway
5. Josep Guardiola
6. Mick McCarthy
7. Steve Bruce
8. Owen Coyle
9. Martin O'Neil
10. Martin Jol

You clearly know nothing, fool.


Seriously tho, Rafa!? I don't think he was good enough to merit a top 10 place.

1. José Mourinho (2002 - 2010)
- 2 Champions League Titles
- 1 UEFA Cup
- 2 Portuguese Liga Titles
- 1 Portuguese Cup
- 2 Premier League Titles
- 1 FA Cup
- 2 English League Cups
- 2 Serie A Titles
- 1 Italian Cup

2. Vicente del Bosque (2000 - 2010)
- 1 World Cup
- 1 Champions League Title
- 2 Primera Division Titles
- 1 Spanish Cup

3. Alex Ferguson (2000 - 2010)
- 1 Champions League Titles
- 5 Premier League Titles
- 1 FA Cup
- 3 English League Cups

4. Ottmar Hitzfeld (2000 - 2010)
- 1 Champions League Title
- 3 Bundesliga Titles
- 2 German Cups

5. Arsène Wenger (2000 - 2010)
- 2 Premier League Titles
- 3 FA Cups

My top 5. Mourinho is unrivaled for pure trophy winning, especially since he had managed for 2 years less in that decade than the others in my list.

Remarkable that Wenger won the title, for me anyway.

I don't like Wenger but he is most certainly a fantastic manager. Look at what he's done with the amount of money he's spent. If he spent more I would've expected them to win something in the last 5 years.

BUT, If it were my choice I'd give the award to Mourinho.

Champions League win.
Champions League final.
2 La Liga's, beating off the brilliant Real Madrid side of the early 00's.
UEFA Cup win.
FA Cup win.
1 Super Cup win.

Definitely in the top 10 for me.

Yeah come to think of it, Mourinho has won more trophies in this decade alone than Wenger has won in his entire career, I doint give a ***** about Wenger not spending mmuch, you ahve to spend if u want to win trophies and its not like he is at a club which is in administration​

This is true. Sometimes I think Wenger is too proud to keep his rep as a developer and refuses to buy top players even with the budget he has.

 

[rennomillo]

wenger always the best like his face showing us

 

[hellroker]

Mourinho should have won it. Fergie second yes, but Wenger is an undeserving winner.

 

[Ben]

Mourinho > All, as much as it pains me to say it, arrogant ****.

We had two options:
1- Spend big on players and then have to pay off Emirates Stadium for years after.
2- Develop younger players, buy cheap, decent players and pay off the Stadum ASAP.

Wenger did what he felt was best for the club, and it's hard to argue with what he did. Yes, he probably didn't think it would result in a spell like this without a trophy, but I don't think we are very far away at all from reaching that potential and refinding that touch that won us the trophies earlier in the decade.

As for the Top 10, Mourinho should of won it, no question. But congrats to Wenger for winning it, not that it would probably mean much to him.

Its actually 4 bundesliga titles for hitzfeld, he won one in 99-00, i would consider that this decade as the second half goes into it.

lol just more reasons why Wenger should not have won it, its is kinda stupid consdiering that for half of the decade he did not win anything

So, The system isn't to blame, but the players Arsenal has spent the last 15 years assembling is? So Arsene is to blame whatever? According to what you just said... As he hasn't got the players for a physical Scrap? So he hasn't got a 6 football plus Midfielder Called Diaby on the Bench? The fact there squad isn't good enough, Is down to his work in the.... Wait for it.... LAST DECADE. thank you for proving my point so Brilliantly.

No, you've twisted my words there. Inexperience isn't being 'not good enough', Diaby isn't a good enoguh player in my opinion, and even if the midfield isn't physical enough, that doesn't mean they aren't good...I think Sir Alex doesn't deserve to be first, and niether does Wenger, I would've given it to Mourinho, but I would rank Wenger higher than Alex.

But who brought this arsenal Squad together? Answer that Question. Wenger did! and if they aren't experienced enough to win a trophy in the 2nd half of this Decade, then he is surely to blame, you cant blame the players Age on themselves, only the manager decides who came in and who left..... not the players themselves.... Diaby was a wenger signings, so if he isnt good enough for arsenal( your words not mine) then who is to blame....? I would rank Jose 1st without a shadow of a doubt but Fergie would be above Wenger in my mind.

The only way Wenger has won this is if French loving Michel Platini had the only vote.

Wenger last decade record is:

3 FA Cups
1 big bag of **** all else

But don't forget they play beautiful lovely football.

As a gunner I'm pleased to see it.

Anyway, it'd be great to know what they did consider to make that ranking.

Yes, I know Wenger put this squad together, but it isn't his fault that they are too inexperienced. Almost every year they have a number of new youngsters who, through no fault of their own or Wenger's, haven't enough experience to last the whole way. However, they are undoubtedly some of the best players in Europe, and the only teams that play better football than Arsenal are Barca and maybe Real.
As for the Diaby thing, one bad signing doesn't make you a bad manager. Based on your logic, the signing of Massimo Taibi makes Sir Alex *****.
Of course Mourinho would be top, no question, but I think Wenger should be above Sir Alex, although it is very close.

 

[Raphael.]

Just because they haven't won a trophy for a long while isn't due to the system, it's down to the players inexperience, as I already said. The physical struggles can be easily solved with the signing of one midfield anchorman, a Mascherano type player who can get stuck in, as Alex Song isn't that player and Nasri and Fabregas are not that type of player. That coupled with a new centre half, mayeb, and Arsenal are serious title contenders. They have possibly the best squa of players in the league, they just don't seem to be able to g all the way.

But whose fault is it that they don't have experience and strong players?
Hmmmmm........ I think Arsene, he could of bought a decent player instead of Squicallci, no?

And so what if they play better football, it's like saying Millwall play beautiful football so Kenny Jackett should of won the award....
You're logical is, well, sorry to be blunt but awful.

You have shot yourself in the foot there no? If Arsene has put this squad together, why is it not his fault that they are inexperienced?
And also, people are saying its due to an inexperience squad, did Sir Alex not win a title with an inexperienced squad no?
Also I would hardly call Arsenals squad highly inexperienced e.g Fabregas, Arshavin, Nasri, RVP, Chamack, Clichy.......
