Wenger leaving and heading for Spain
While working today a thought struck me and I think I might be on to something. I just want to put it into print as I think I may not be too far wrong on it.
Over the weekend Arsene Wenger made claims in the press that he would personally choose the clubs new sporting director. Now when I see stories like this I usually smell a rat. A manager, employed by a board of directors, dictating to them who they will employ as their sporting director? I think not.
Wenger has claimed his loyalty to the club but when a guy comes out with a statement like he did, there are alterior motives at hand.His statement is an attempt to anger the directors in my opinion. He wants to follow Dein out but does not want to appear to be walking to the fans. He wants to appear to be a martyr, a sacrificial lamb if you like.
With one of the biggest jobs in football soon to be available, the Real Madrid position, Wenger would surely be a possible candidate for the job. Can you imagine the backhander he would get if he were to tempt Fabregas and Henry to join him.
I think Wenger has achieved all he can with Arsenal and wants a new challenge. He will continue to try to make his position untennable at the club and force the hand of the board of directors to sack him, leaving him free to join his new project. Watch this space.
