People give Arsene a lot of stick because they believe he is a failure of a manager, which he is not, before Arsenal built the emirates Arsenal was the best team in the BPL and cam very close to being the best team in Europe.
Arsenal did not have a big suggar daddy of a investor to come in and build them a new stadium. They had to go to the banks and borrow 400 million to build the Emirates, what does this mean? having to play back the 400 million they borrowed. This would mean turning Arsenal into a selling club and keeping profits high in order to pay back the debt. Without thte Champions league for 17 straight seasons Arsenal would have very much slumped into being a mediocre club and probably not be where they are today. As soon as Arsenal had paid off their stadium debt they went and wont he FA cup. Arsenal are now on the up now.
I would like to see any other manager do what Arsene did.
Look at this article, it really shows the pressure Arsene was under to do well.
