    His last four job outcomes as far as I can tell, remember I'm not a pervert:

    Chelsea - two seasons, sacked
    PSG - two seasons, sacked
    Real Madrid - two seasons, sacked
    Bayern - two seasons, sacked

    Hardly an inspiring record, is it?

    Didn't he win the league at all of them though?
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Chelsea - two seasons, sacked, FA cup winner, premier league winner, community shield
    PSG - two seasons, sacked, league champions
    Real Madrid - two seasons, sacked, copa del ray, champions league, uefa super cup, fifa club world cup
    Bayern - two seasons, sacked, league title, 2 dfl supercups.

    yeah he's rubbish

    I know you are just being an idiot but it's actually
    Chelsea - two seasons, sacked
    Won the double in the first one- lost his job because Abramovich saw a bright shiny new toy he wanted to play with (Villa Boas, I think - that went well). Third highest win percentage in Premier league history behind Mourinho and Ferguson
    PSG - two seasons, sacked
    Actually one and half- Won the league in only full season and wasn't sacked - he resigned to go to Real
    Real Madrid - two seasons, sacked
    Won the European Cup
    Bayern - two seasons, sacked
    One and a bit seasons - still won the league

    I would take two seasons of something like that. Would rather we didnt sack him though...that sounds expensive.

    Which sort of begs the question; if he won all that silverware why was he sacked at three of the four clubs after only two years?

    Despite what we've become after all these years of Wenger, I'd still prefer we hire someone that might hang around for longer than 2-3 years. Carlo's recent record suggests that's unlikely.

    Any particular reason you'd want someone who'd hang around .. ?

    I like the idea of a project a la Spurs and Arsenal in the 2005+ years. No one supported the idea of building a young team and watching them grow together more than I did, I thought it was a brilliant idea and that we had the perfect manager for the job. Just a shame it didn't work out.

    So I'd like another go. Why do I like the idea of a longer term project? Dunno, really. We'd need to ask your parents.

    It never really worked out though. We had a some decent squards but they never won anything.

    Plus we could never keep them together as we had this habit of selling them all.



    Though at least we played exciting football then.

    None of the clubs involved would be really known for exercising patience with Managers, perhaps Bayern the exception.

    Winning the domestic league is not deemed a success either, it is the most basic task required.
