In Ornstein's podcast, Wenger did throw shade at SAF. David asked him about SAF changing his backroom staff at regular intervals, which Wenger didn't. Wenger responded by saying that SAF didn't conduct trainings on his own, so he rotated his backroom staff. He also mentioned that SAF didn't have to function in an environment amidst a stadium rebuild.
Wenger has been pretty stern in his interviews. He built the training facility and the stadium. He repaid most of it during his tenure via the UCL money and Arsenal's self-sustainable model. No manager in modern football history has had as much influence and out-of-field success as Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
There's a stat where Wenger comes on top when you equate money spent to trophies/matches won.
We've spent £300m since Wenger left. Perspective.
As for Jose coming in and rocking the boat, we won the FA Cup and finished 2nd in 04/05 when we had no spending power. We reached the UCL Final in 05/06.
By 07, Jose had already run away from Chelsea because he doesn't have it in him to rebuild a squad after getting bitchslapped.
In 15/16, we beat his Chelsea side in the Community Shield. He was sacked that same season after they were near relegation territory.
Jose has 2 UCLs. Wenger didn't win one. Yet, they way Jose moans about Wenger, you'd think Wenger won multiple trebles and UCLs.
He's jealous. He's insecure. Wenger has a footballing legacy. Jose is a checkbook manager who's lost the dressing room in his last three jobs.
As for the UCL, di Matteo won one with "Jose's club." Says everything.
Jose bootlickers can thump their chests as much as they want. He's at Spurs. He's their manager. Alea iacta est.
