There are some really interesting stories coming out of Madrid these days about Jose Mourinho and how much longer that he will be the Real Madrid manager.
Last week Real Madrid Lost To Barcelona for the eight time since Mourinho took over at Real Madrid.
Over the weekend we heard rumors of a clash between Mourinho and Sergio Ramos And Casillas following the Barcelona defeat. The Madrid fans sided with players as Mourinho was jeered by sections of the Santiago Bernabeu crowd on Sunday. Now we hear media reports in Spain that Mourinho will quit his job as Real Madrid manager this summer.
So what does all that have to do with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger? Well according to Alex Kay at the Daily Mail Arsene Wenger is on a two-man shortlist to replace Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid manager. Germany head coach Joachim Low is the other candidate being considered.
Wenger turned down a move to Madrid in 2009 but I get the sense from listening to people close to Arsenal that Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal board are not on the best of terms, and with only twelve months left on his current contract, that the odds were more than 50-50 that Wenger would step down as Arsenal manager this summer. And that was before the Mourinho story broke.
Lets consider the worst case scenario here, and that is that Arsene Wenger does leave at the end of the season. Other than Guardiola, who else have a big enough cv to come in and replace Wenger?

REMEMBER IF THE BOARD STILL REMAINS NAIVE ..NO MATTER THE COACH ARSENAL WILL REMAIN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.. THE STRATEGY OF THE CURRENT TEAM OF MANAGEMENT IS THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED WE CAN NOW LIVE AS JUST A CLUB IN ENGLAND TO BE PLAYING IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE..THEY ARE MONEY OBSESSED NOT REPUTATION..
as mu ch as i will love the wenger legacy to remain he will leave as a failure than an achiever after now seven years without silverware. he seems to be getting the oint and let him leave before its late. he knws you cant compete with the current squad but he is in denial.when will he learn that teams that win are big spenders. .however how bad we will miss him. i think another coach can do the trick.someone has to stop this so called big man. and for those who know how to boo pliz do it at villa park. we want his head. otherwise he is a rotten egg.before he kills the team lets kill him
It is good like that,so guadiola or redkap will take over as arsenal coach.wenga tried 4 us let him go another place brake another history he brake in arsenal everybody knows
are you dreaming or naive. Wenger goes? where? this man is money maker for the board and himself. do you really think if Marinio or other big heads comes to this club will work with this player only???? as we know Marinio every where he goes, the first thing he does buy an buy player and thats why he get result. lets pray Marinio comes to Emarat
Wenger will never go unless he win his last trophy, he will not go with his a bad reputation… He was wanted at Real before mourinho step in.. Mourinho maybe will leave this summer, who knows maybe he will make a comeback to chelsea based on current performance by AVB.
I haven’t seen any change from Wenger with regards to transfer dealings, training in the sense of defending and scoring set pieces and no change in tactics. I personally feel that a total overhaul is needed. Wishfully from Stan right through to the coaches but most likely will just be Wenger and Rice.
We need a manager who has realised that football has changed. Lower teams are not so low, teams like Stoke, Fulham, Newcastle, Sunderland and for this year Swansea. It’s not about expensive players or quality, Manure has proved that often with the rubbish Fergie has fielded before.
The game is about motivating players in your team and instilling a winning attitude. Players must know that if I play poorly the manager will give me a rollocking, my team mates will tell me to pull finger and there’s a chance I’ll be on the bench if I don’t pull up my socks not pamper the guy.
Surely Arsenal players know how to play in other formations to change a game not just 4-3-3. I think Wenger’s style kills players not in the Arsenal mould. That’s why when they arrive they do well because they do things natural for them and not what opponents expect. There after they are moulded or scolded into the Arsenal way and their flair disappears. Perhaps they don’t know what to do when torn into two deciding should they do what their instinct says or what he has been told to do.
Last point, there are manager’s in the premiership that can make a team work with a low budget not just Wenger. The gems he used to find are far and few between because other teams hijack his scouting abilities and pump up their prices.
I belief & i know that wenger we step down as arsenal coach because silent so far at the emirat will cause violent in the summer. i am sorry to say it”arsenal will not finish top 4. if possible kronke may force to sell chares
I can’t understand what any of you are saying as your English is rather bad!! But, this time 6 months ago I would have backed Arsene’s corner all the way, but not now. too much has happened, the league and game itself has changed too much and Wengers techniques and morals no longer fit the bill. Chop him in a the end of the season before it’s too late.. Wenger for Mourinho sounds good to me!
