All Time Managers

[billandben]

George for me
U?

Arsène wenger for me...taken us to a next level i never thought i'd see at Arsenal 8)

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

Wenger. No question.

And to be fair to him, I honestly think that in 50 years time when people look back at this era, they'll agree he was every bit as important in the history of our great club as Mr Chapman.

Btw - who can name me 4 other Arsenal managers since Bertie Mee?

 

[Alexone234]

Georgie Graham was an exceptional manager, who gave us a great team, but Wenger has changed our ambitions to being a truely world beating club.

 

[GlasgowGooner]

Terry Neill, Don Howe, George Graham, Bruce Rioch

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

Through your smilie in a bit quick there Glasgow. You've got three, but George Graham's in the poll so you're still missing one.

 

[GlasgowGooner]

Steve Burtenshaw?

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

Well done mate. You win the award for having the least work to do on a thursday afternoon!

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

OK, you may as well fill in the rest of the post war managers....

 

[GlasgowGooner]

he was caretaker though as was Stewart Houstoun for a while.

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

And Pat Rice. Houston was actually caretaker twice.

Arsène wins hands down. I do feel sorry for Bertie Mee who made a great team out of a pile 1960's tripe. Wenger defenately added a new dimension of professionalism throughout the club and not just on the pitch. :!:

 

[vin de guerre]

As for George Graham, I recomend all to go and rent out "Fever Pitch" to sum up G.G in a nutshell.

vin - much as I think Mee deserves praise, to say he built a team out of tripe is rather unfair on the players already at the club when he took over. All it needed was a couple of signings and the influx of youngsters that were already coming through to turn it into a double winning team.

accepted although what i was comparing with was the general low quality shown through out the sixties.
I would presume the only trully competitor to Arsène is Chapman!

 

[Superdudes]

Arsène makes the other club manager looks bad.. lets see.. since Arsène came in, we have not been to 3rd place.. i repeat.. not ever 3rd before.. in a league where they's the devils, the supposedly great liverpool, the magpies and also chelski.. chelski has made a major revolution to its squad thus far and i reckon that they might posed a threat to a 2 horse race.. its interesting though to see man u and chelski fight it out for 2nd placing..

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Arsène Wenger. The man has revolutionised Arsenal football club.

 

[PolishGooner]

Chapman!!! Chapman!!!! If not Chapman there is only one choice - Wenger

True - but it's strange to think that excepting Graham and McNab, virtually every player that won the double was at the club already.

 

[thegame24]

WENGER!!!!!!!!

he won the double with inherited players, and he won the double with his own players.

he also made my dream come true which was to see arsenal win the league. i never ever thought we could win it until 1997
