Graeme Souness recently claimed that Arsene Wenger was fortunate at Arsenal because he is not a “football man.”
The Frenchman revolutionised English football with his style of play when he became Arsenal’s manager in the mid-90s.
Under Wenger, the Gunners formed a fierce rivalry with Manchester United, making it challenging for either team to dominate the other.
Wenger also developed the careers of some of the Premier League’s greatest talents, and many regard him as one of the best coaches in English football history.
However, Souness suggested that Wenger was not truly passionate about football and was lucky to achieve the success he did at Arsenal.
According to Metro, these comments irritated Arsenal supporters, who quickly defended Wenger’s legacy by highlighting his sacrifices for the game.
Fans pointed out that he dedicated his life to managing Arsenal and was fully committed to bringing success to North London throughout his tenure.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is ignorant for anyone to suggest that Wenger did not deserve the success he enjoyed at the Emirates because the Frenchman did.
He challenged the status quo when he arrived in England’s top flight, and he proved to be a huge success.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

A storm in a teacup. Wenger’s legacy will remain for all to see despite what Souness or anyone else says. Let’s just move on.
The target audience of Souness are Wenger haters.
In the previous article about this topic I expected a certain JA regular to agree wholeheartedly with Souness and he lived up to my expectations.
Someone like him are Souness target audience.
Who would that be HH ?
After reading the first article the other day, I looked up the Three Up Front podcast, and I can’t remember Souness saying Wenger was not truly passionate about football.
Btw, our fierce rivalry with Man Utd goes way back to the 80’s, long before Wenger.
