johnnypd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I just find it funny these days. He's a clever bloke, knows what he's doing. likewise, laughed when i heard it, and when it cut back to the sky sports studio after showing the interview everyone just chuckled at it.

Mistle17 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He's such a great manager, its just a pity he has to spoil it by being such a bitter c*nt the whole time! Anytime one of his players gets the slightest touch its all moaning and whining and how he should be banned and how his players are always targeted etc. blah blah blah.... But when its the other way round.....well, THEN he suddenly goes temporarily blind until the incident is over, ffs! The man is pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He's said it so many times that people know that it basically means he's seen it but wont comment because he's protecting his players. Wengers exactly the type of manager I'd want to play for if I was a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 No one knows what Wenger says to his players privately, he may tear strips off them in the dressing room just not in front of the cameras. Isnt he just protecting them? Dalglish was a bit like that and hence was loved by his players. exactly. And so was Alf Ramsey. Morale of the story is don't believe everything people say or what papers portray them as saying Basic stuff really. Yep. Slagging off your players in public is the quickest way to lose the dressing-room.... usually followed by your job shortly afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden rule of football. Keep what happens in the dressing room for the dressing room. At least in terms of individual criticism. I think that some people may be confusing the difference between personal criticism and a manager coming out and admitting "the team played badly on the day" here.

Mr. Snrub Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Of course 33179 Arsenewenger is gonna say he didn't see it. He's protecting his players which is a good thing. Especially on this occasion seeing how it involed Eboue, who isn't exactly the darling of the Arsenal fans right now. When players start getting criticised in public by their own gaffer/team mates, it only leads to bad things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicsfingeredmong Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The antithesis to Wenger being Souness ie. a manager who was content to belittle/burn his players via the media. Whether that be in the form attribute weakness', a grudge against a player and so forth. The endgame being losing your best players, and those whom those players formed alliances/bonds with in the dressing room. It's what got us into shit - ie. losing key players Bellamy & Robert, and the manager losing the dressing room - a few seasons back when morale hit rock bottom. I'll never forget Dyer and Bowyer's bust-up, more so because at the time some here - in their defense of the Souness regime - believed that in the wake of Bellamy's departure team morale had hit a something of an upturn. I know whose psychological approach to man-managing players i prefer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a manager and your players stop playing for you then you lose your job quite quickly. Agreed. However, if one of your players clearly does something wrong then you cannot defend the undefendable. For example, if Joey Barton started a fight in Liverpool or wherever, if you were his manager and you were questioned about his actions you could only really give one answer. A tactful one like, but you would have to say he was in the wrong. That might be a bad example but I'm sure you get the sort of example I mean.
