Well, there they go again!! They "run" their mouths, ensure they "benefit" from referee's decisions and get paid doing that!! Thats why they are called top class managers. No wonder arsene wenger who grooms wanna be players into world class footballers earn very little. Where is justice in this world? Who can then complain if real madrid spends so much money to buy world class football "divers". The only problem here is that , they unlike manchester and Inter-Milan do not have such coaches to help them win medals. Of all thsee coaches , pep and arsene deserve more than they are currently paid!!!
