Wenger has gone the distance but Arsenal have hardly garnered much silverware over the last decade or so.

This "hiring and firing" issue is total baloney.

Manager that gets results - Stays in job.
Manager that doesn't get results - Sacked.
Manager that gets results gets is poached by bigger/richer club - Nothing much changes, team continues to do well.
Manager that doesn't get results is sacked - Nothing much changes, team continues to struggle.

Although, for obvious reasons, I hope your last sentence is total rollocks!

Fergie had extremely poor results in the early part of his tenure at Man U...

Indeed, and it was only his winning of the FA Cup that saved his skin.

It was"in general" and it's true, why shouldn't it be? I read a thesis a while back, it was carried out across the top 2 divisions in Spain, England, Italy and France (I think) over a long period, into whether firing (or losing) managers regularly made any difference to results, nothing showed that it did. Appointing the right man to an underachieving team is the key, once he gets results turned around you can ride his wave for long after he's gone.................. unless you meddle with his system too much.

Chelsea right now are an unusual case and will be fine.

Mark Robins never got the credit he deserved from Fergie. Bit shitty of him imo.

Well that's no surprise is it? Ferguson was a despicable, hypocritical human being. Good manager though.

I could see that as the foreword for his next biography.

Grrr against Palace as well we should have nailed it in the first game.

Someone's wallet has just gone KERCHING. Sure I read JM will get this years salary only not the full contract value? Sounded like he might of fallen on the sword once he was called in.

Arsene Wenger was giving an interview when the news broke...
