[@heyheyhe0011]

As a fan of neither of these two teams, without question sir Alex’s legacy is unmatched. But all the kudos to Wenger as well. Because after his last league title, Chelsea came into the picture and Arsenal needed to reinvest in the squad, but he wasn’t given the funds to compete for the league. Had Wenger given the tools to compete, I would assume he would’ve led Arsenal to two or three more league titles.

[@liamjay306]

Sir Alex record is outstanding but Wenger was a revolutionary manager. He changed the game In England. He also opened the door for a large influx of foreign managers. His achievements are underated. He was at a club that didn't have the financial muscle that man u and Chelsea and later man city had. He was working against the gradient. Arsenal were a selling club and yet he achieved amazing things. Most successful manager in fa cup history and the invincibles.

[@grassrootsfootball225]

Arsene wenger spent more in his first season than fergie did in the previous 4 at that time

[@shellsbignumber2]

Given his background the best way for Martin to reply is to say, every player who played under Wenger knew they could never reach his genius level of manager so they have just all decided to spend the rest of their lives living on a beach with a cocktail in their hand. Players who played under Ferguson just thought they might be able to influence the officials like crafty Ferguson did.

[@AJ-xv7oh]

They might not have wanted to go into management. What a ridiculous conversation.

[@bg7393]

If Wenger was given the funds SAF was he’d have done the same. They basically have the same trophies won their first 10 years at Arsenal & United. Then the emirates was built and financial backing went out the window and so did our trophies bar a few FA Cups.

Wenger play better football doesnt mean tactically better, ppl always missunderstand between good football and good tactics.

[@joshuaramcharan9735]

On the Wenger V Furgie question Arteta is the best of the bunch. Steve Bruce second due to haveing a long career with several promotions. I dont think either were great at having 'accolites'. Pep, bielsa etc have a better reputation than both at making managers. Rooney, Thiery, Carrick and Patrick V are very average managers that have forged their own way , mostly on the basis of their playing career. None of their styles of managing, resembles their old playing style because the game has changed so much.
