When Wenger arrived, we were a storied club in the UK with no real international presence due to our lack of European cups. English clubs had no real style and the players were pretty laid back in terms of self care. Getting the Adams lot off the booze and getting them to take care of themselves, probably saved their lives and prolonged their careers. Our playing style and the guts to pick anyone not just English players was brave back than. Fitness training and the way we scouted was copied and improved upon by other clubs. He also rebuilt Colney and bought Henry with the Anelka sale and was instrumental in our move to Emirates. Some banks would only extend our loan if he was manager and he stayed despite interest from Madrid. He gave us a new identity which merged with the legacy of Graham and perfection was achieved in 2004. We self financed the move to Emirates and had the rotten luck of doing this as a global recession hit out of nowhere. We've been losing our best players since 1999 and until 2015 always made the CL albeit with little success. It's galling that our consistency increased the coefficient that our rivals now enjoy. Klopp came in to Liverpool with dedicated owners who backed a long term vision. They've backed him with £200m of external money. Jose apart from Porto can't win without spending. Him and Pep are the only managers to have spent over £1b each and it's easy when you can buy the best, your rivals targets and tap up their best players. Wenger is a legend. Similar to Federer who will be surpassed in time by Djokovic, but I know the player I will revere forever.Wow a response with someone not acting like a complete bi*ch? This is why I like you Riou you don't get emotional.
Still what you listed in the first paragraph is a bit intangible, like when Mourinho came in dominated with the 4-3-3 formation everyone in England switch from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3. Same thing happened with Conte and the 3 at the back but that was only a little fad that died out. I feel like Arsène introduced the attacking fullbacks to England, don't remember it happening here before Ashely Cole and Lauren.
I don't disagree that Arsène changed the game in England and that he's an amazing manager I just rate Klopp higher. I think what Klopp has done at Liverpool and Dortmund is amazing and surpassing what Arsène did here.
I know I should be bias as an Arsenal fan but I'm inherently an objective man.
