Although Mike Ashley claims he was ... moving with the times and acting like a foreign chairman/owner ... Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes his ideas were clueless!
Arsene Wenger believes the manager MUST be allowed to manage, without the owner running the show and hiding away from the media spotlight, leaving the poor manager to take the consequences.

Wenger: "Newcastle, for example, is for me a very interesting challenge in a stable environment.
"They have massive support and they deserve success and you would like to see them get a manager there who can turn that round.
"But they have created now an unstable position, because the owner wants to sell and they have no manager.
"So the situation is very difficult for someone to move in because he thinks someone will move in the next two to three weeks to five years. You never know - it could be today.
"I always say the manager is by far the most important man in the club. Why? Because if it doesn't go well you sack him. If you sack someone who is not important it looks ridiculous."
