After reports that he has recently been approached by Real Madrid many have applauded Arsene's loyalty stating how grateful they are that he snubbed them, not for the first time.
I won't doubt his loyalty whatsoever, the man has been here for almost 2 decades and has always given his best but is he really doing us a favour?
Anybody high enough in the game shouldn't really be looking at Madrid as a golden opportunity anymore. Go trophlyess for 1 year and you're finished.
Now Arsene Wenger is the highest paid manager in world football, sets his own targets and deadlines at the most biggest club in London and also decides how much he wants to spend from our budget, who in their right mind would leave all of this luxurious comfort to work under Perez?
Whether Arsene has earned the right to have all these luxuries and unlimited security at Arsenal is another argument, my point is that it's hardly difficult decision and one we should be eternally grateful for because going out there would hardly benefit him imo.
Not sure he can tame all those egos, accept being challenged by the club and those that think Arsenal fans are bad when things are going wrong we're nothing compared to that mob up there. Also not sure he can consistently deliver the trophies they demand
Still adore Sir Arsene
Just don't agree with the 'he's so loyal'
'he could've gone anywhere but he stayed because he's a great man'
'could've easily bagged the CL by now but he stayed'
lines that get thrown around so often.
Nobody in football management has a better job imo
Wenger Could've Gone Madrid But He's Loyal

The best job would be somewhere like dortmund who still chanted Klopp name despite being bottom halfway through the season and then who gets the best send off I've ever seen

Op you are stupid. Sorry but it's the truth. Wenger would have had far more personal glory in the form of trophies if he had left. Fact. End of the day who caress about job security? Do you think mourinho was desperate for job security at any point in his career. Look at rafa benitez who can walk into any job in the world and has been at many teams. The top managers would never struggle for a job. Even today if wenger became available he could get any job, do you not think most managers would dream of managing barca or real. Has your sense of entitlement deluded you to think managing arsenal is the best job

It's easy to manage a club who has endless financial resources. It's not easy to manage a club who restricted themselve financialwise and built a new stadium on it's own profit and keep the club at the top of international football.

You think managing Real Madrid is easy, GT?
Performance discussion aside, though, this is an awful article. Whatever people think about Wenger you simply can't deny his love for the club and his desire to see it do well.

If you manage a club like RM or Barca you have to deal with the fact that you dont have it in your hands to decide who to buy. It's about to convince the members of the board that your suggestions are the right way forward.
That is not the way Wenger wanted to manage a club and probably the reason why he never wanted the RM job.

Wenger wouldn't have lasted more than 2 seasons. Real Madrid job is fools gold. The pressure is too intense. Whats more at the time when Wenger was on top of their list, they paid very little to their coaches. Del Bosque was on £450k a year, compare that to Wenger who was on £2m a season when we went unbeaten. Wenger knew he would make much more money with less pressure, god knows what Fiszman promised him if he stayed at Arsenal. Btw he also had his hand in African academies across the Maghreb, something that would considered a conflict of interest anywhere else in the world at the time.

AW will not be fully appreciated until he walks away from the club.

Dortmund have never been in better shape than Arsenal, they appreciate Klopp for overachieving.
Yes Jose does envy Arsene's job security hence the yearly digs where he clearly highlights how fortunate Arsene is to coach with little pressure
Rafa was interim at Chelsea and will last 2 years tops at Madrid before he searches for his next journey, lmao you're foolish to compare anybody's position to Wenger's, he has by far the best situation in management where he runs the biggest club in London.
Also how can you call it a fact that Wenger would've won more elsewhere, our conditions may have suited him a lot more than another club. Jose only won a cup and the league there and was still deemed a failure, Arsene would do much worse than that. FACT
Felix I appreciate Arsene a whole lot I just refuse to agree with such claims that by rejecting Madrid he's done us a big favour.
Loyalty is when you stay because the place you're in conflict with needs you more than you need them (Gerrard - Liverpool - 05). Wenger is loyal because there was a time where this was the case, this most recent decision to snub Madrid however is not through loyalty, it's just through simple logic, he's in a much better job when you assess it as a whole

Yes ^ and thats why Pep Guardiola covets Arsenal.

Wenger is generally a loyal guy but that's not why he stayed - being Arsenal Manager is the best managerial job in football for these reasons :-
(1) Extremely highly paid.
(2) Aboard that doesn't expect much as long as you balance the books.
(3) A loyal and reasonable fan base.
(4) Total control of the football club from the footballing side of things.
(5) Now that the stadium has been paid off a decent amount of spending money.
(6) A brilliant stadium set up to play passing football.
The only weakness is we are not quite financially strong enough to compete with the richest half a dozen clubs in the world - but we are not far off.

Exactly the point I was trying to make, thank you
'He's a loyal man but not the reason he stayed'
The key line. Smashed it
