Arsene Wenger has been great but he will never win the EPL ever again......

In October 1996 Arsene Wenger breathed a new life into Arsenal FC, the iconic but faltering Islington based football club. Within six months of taking over, Wenger completely changed the way the club was run by introducing new training methods but most of all he eradicated the booze culture that was rife in English Football.

He revamped the medical team by bringing in sports physiotherapists and nutritionists of the highest calibre and embarked on an ambitious project of building a world class training facility at London Colney (Which later became a blue print for almost all other English Clubs). Wenger had a vision that no other manager in English Football had at the time.

Wenger had also built a reputation at Monaco (Where he was a coach) for unearthing youthful talent and grooming them for success. He did not disappoint at Arsenal either, Patrick Vieira heralded his revolution at the North London Club followed by arguably one of the best youth and talent spotting system in world football.

When he joined Arsenal he dreamt of building a bigger and more modern stadium to replace the historic Highbury in order to give the club financial stability. The Emirates Stadium at Ashburton Grove is by far, Arsene Wengers biggest coup at Arsenal. Currently the stadium generates 50% of the clubs income and has not only brought in financial stability but as a result helped increase its fan base.

While Wenger was building his legacy at Arsenal another revolution was taking place in English football where billionaire investors from as far as Russia, USA and Iceland were investing in Premier League clubs. Chelsea FC, Man United, Aston Villa, West Ham United and most recently Manchester City among others have been scooped by wealthy foreigners.

These billionaires invested hundreds of millions in acquiring the best talent in world football and lured them with astronomical wages and bonuses in order to bring instant success to their clubs. Abramovich's Chelsea FC led the way and was rewarded by back to back titles.

While the new moneyed clubs were busy investing on players and coaching staff, Arsene Wenger introduced austerity measures during the construction of the Emirates in order not to balloon the clubs debts further. He also introduced a strict wage structure and put a cap on transfer budgets. Seven years down the road, Wenger's policies are still in effect and resulted in 7 successive trophy-less seasons while at the same time haemorrhaging some of their best players in successive seasons.

With Arsenal's strict wage and transfer policies, will top players ever consider moving to the Emirates due to their low wage structure? Will smaller European clubs who depend on player sales to survive consider Arsenal? Will Arsenal's top player Robin Van Persie renew his contract with the knowledge that he can earn 2-3 times more his current wage and stand a better chance of winning some silverware?

Can Arsene Wenger do the same things over and over and expect a different result? I doubt the results would be different hence my prediction that Arsenal FC (Under Wenger) might never win the English Premier League ever again simply because their opponents are getting more stronger year after year.
