Wind-up?

It wouldn't work. As an international manager you can't simply go out and buy the best international players to play for your team, so it would be in stark contrast to Wenger's transfer policy. Oh wait.

The author's no Ben Pearce is he

I got as far as spotting 'That man is Arsene Wenger' and closed the article.

Why on earth would you put forward Wenger, the archetypal CLUB manager, who nurtures young players and builds a sound business around transfers, club conduct and philosophy over the long term, as a NATIONAL manager????

Madness.

Never happen.

Ben Pearce

What will he do without all the cheap African kids he loves so much?

Wenger would be a good England youth manager. But with the likes of Milner and Barry to choose from, I don't think he'd succeed.
He might pick some mentally strong players though and kick out the wastes like Lampard

Surely some of them will qualify as nationals by then won't they?

Maybe he can get Madonna's kids to play.

And the Brangelina Bunch

Surely that's a starting XI isn't it?

He's far too good for the farcical job they call being England manager.
