Vincent Tan is stupid, not sophisticated, for 説 Russell Slade could emulate Arsene Wenger... he's already 解雇（する）d two bosses in a year and is talking about selling Cardiff

• e-mail

Arsene Wenger. That’s the 指名する all the hopeless 事例／患者s 減少（する）. If your club has a dud for a chairman, chances are he will have at some 行う／開催する／段階 compared his 最新の fancy to the 経営者／支配人 of 兵器庫.

‘The 45-year-old former player was a clean-living, 静かに spoken (n)役員／(a)執行力のある fashioning himself on the model 管理／経営 of Arsene Wenger.’ Do you know who that was?

Glenn Roeder, as 述べるd in Tom Bower’s 調書をとる／予約する Broken Dreams. No 疑問 Terence Brown, then the chairman of West Ham 部隊d, had more than a little to do with that florid description. It’s fair to say Roeder did not live up to the 法案ing.

Arsene Wenger is held aloft by his players after 兵器庫 won the FA Cup earlier this year

Arsene Wenger arrived in England in 1996 and is the longest serving 経営者／支配人 in English f ootball

指名する-checking Wenger makes an owner sound switched-on, sophisticated, a student of the game. He’s French, his teams play lovely football, he balances the 調書をとる／予約するs, he develops 青年. What is not to like?

Modern chairmen understand what sounds good in an interview as much as any starlet on Graham Norton with a film to 促進する. Nobody is going to 前進する Sam Allardyce or the 願望（する） to bludgeon a path out of the 選手権 these days.

So when Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan, about to make a bloke from Leyton Orient his third 経営者／支配人 in a year and fresh from the self-（打撃，刑罰などを）与えるd 騒動 of relegation, 手配中の，お尋ね者 to appear astute and knowledgeable, he knew just who to invoke.

‘Russell Slade was the fourth longest-ser ving 経営者／支配人 in British football,’ he said. ‘Arsene Wenger is the longest and I hope Russell one day （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域s his 記録，記録的な／記録する.’

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan says he hopes Russell Slade can emulate Arsene Wenger's longevity?

Russell Slade 辞職するd as 経営者／支配人 of Leyton Orient but has still not taken over at Cardiff

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was 解雇（する）d by Vincent Tan last month after a poor start to the season

Malky Mackay (権利) got Cardiff 促進するd to the 首相 League but was 解雇（する）d in December 2013

In the same interview Tan spoke of buying another club. ‘I love football now,’ he 追加するd. ‘I’m looking to buy a club in Europe, I may 投資する in a club in the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs and if I sell Cardiff I would buy another club in the 部隊d Kingdom.’

Oh yes, it’s all about the long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 with chairman Tan.

He already has a club in Sarajevo and is 推定する／予想するd to 投資する in a part -株 of a new franchise in Los Angeles. This is the modern way. Yet to be talking of buying another club in Britain gives the impression he may just be passing through at Cardiff.

How can he then speak of Slade emulating Wenger while making his own status sound transient?

Owners love Wenger because he 扱う／治療するs the money as if it is his own. He’s 都市の and 知識人 but most of all his philosophy is cheap. This 経済的な 警告を与える is いつかs seen as a form of 証拠不十分 with 兵器庫 because he must compete with clubs that have 重要な 基金s and 経営者／支配人s who are ready to spend it.

Yet その上の 負かす／撃墜する the league, Wenger is an inspiration. There are plenty of clubs that would settle for one FA Cup every nine years, good football and the 調書をとる／予約するs balanced. God knows, Cardiff would. On Friday night they became the first team to lose to Blackpool in any 競争 this season and 現在／一般に 嘘（をつく） 15th in the 選手権.

Glenn Roeder was 解雇（する）d as West Ham 経営者／支配人 in 2003 after the clu b's relegation the 選手権

If Cardiff could 勝利，勝つ a トロフィー each １０年間 the 経営者／支配人 would be あられ／賞賛するd as a genius. Only at a club of 兵器庫’s size is Wenger’s 最近の 記録，記録的な／記録する seen as underwhelming.

Cardiff now reside nearer to League One than the 首相 League as 交渉s over Slade drag.

He has 辞職するd from his 地位，任命する at Orient but there are 補償（金） and contractual 問題／発行するs 未解決の. Slade is 現在／一般に serving Cardiff in a consultancy capacity. One imagines his advice might 含む ‘Get a 経営者／支配人 in, and quick’ ― 特に if he’s the next Wenger.

David Dein (権利) 補助装置d Arsene Wenger by 調印 players such as Theo Walcott (centre) for him

Yet all Tan’s blather overlooks one 決定的な 面 of Wenger’s success. The 役割 his directors played in it. The 兵器庫 board got things done. Not just the £50million 寄付 that Danny Fiszman 供給するd before Wenger’s arrival, that 基金d his f irst raft of 調印s and 安全な・保証するd the 未来 of 重要な players such as Tony Adams and David 船員; Wenger also enjoyed the support and 完全にする 約束 of his 雇用者s as he rebuilt their club.

Tan spoke of making suggestions about team 選択. Can you imagine David Dein or Peter Hill-支持を得ようと努めるd doing that? Dein was brilliant, a facilitator. What Wenger 手配中の，お尋ね者 he got for him. Hill-支持を得ようと努めるd remained in the background, the 設立 直面する of 兵器庫.

Throughout the years when Wenger was 形態／調整ing the modern club, his board left 井戸／弁護士席 alone. That was their masterstroke, recognising they were 取引，協定ing with a visionary and 許すing him to 追求する that 見通し.

Francois Zoko (centre 権利) 得点する／非難する／２０d the only goal of the game as Blackpool （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Cardiff 1-0

Can anyone 予知する Tan behaving in such an egoless manner when Slade is finally Cardiff’s boss? Hell, he wouldn’t even let the club keep its 伝統的な blue 道具, let alone create the circumstances for Slade to somehow metamorphose into Wenger.

Tan just knows what sounds good. He makes a noise, checks a 指名する and thinks that makes him a wise one, too.

英貨の／純銀の talk is the painful truth

によれば Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool are 支援する in 移行 に引き続いて the loss of Luis Suarez. にもかかわらず this, he says he is not worried by 憶測 linking Raheem 英貨の／純銀の to Real Madrid. He should be.

移行 is not a word any aspiring young footballer wants to hear. 移行 is a 発射 in the dark, a step into the unknown. Liverpool could be on their way to the 首脳会議 as the summer 調印s at last start to bed in; 平等に they could be struggling just to remain still, shorn of the brilliant Suarez.

Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool are in a period of 移行 after the loss of Luis Suarez?

Raheem 英貨の／純銀の (権利) 株 a smile with Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers in Basle

Jamie Carragher, and others around Liverpool, may be upset at the タイミング of 憶測 around 英貨の／純銀の but that is the way of football’s world. There is a market for his talent and Real Madrid will 見解（をとる） Liverpool in their 現在の 明言する／公表する as prey, as will a number in Europe.

Liverpool couldn’t keep Suarez, either, but his behaviour at the World Cup made his 未来 in English football untenable and hid the reality. The loss of 英貨の／純銀の could not be so conveniently masked.

Real Madrid have an Anglophile 経営者／支配人 in Carlo Ancelotti, with an English coach in Paul Clement, and have taken their two 重要な players ― Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale ― from the 首相 League.?

Last Friday's Daily Mail 支援する page, which 明らかにする／漏らすd Liverpool's 戦う／戦い with Raheem 英貨の／純銀の over a new 取引，協定

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are two 星／主役にする players who Real Madrid have 調印するd from English teams

They may be the first to show 利益／興味, but they won’t be the last ― 特に if 英貨の／純銀の impresses in 支援する-to-支援する fixtures with Madrid in the 支持する／優勝者s League. 英貨の／純銀の has a 契約 through to the end of 2017 but Real will not see that as an 障害, or any new 取引，協定.

He is a catch, far in 前進する of where Bale was at the same age and ma ybe even Ronaldo, too. The moment 英貨の／純銀の blossoms as Bale did in Europe, he will move to the 最前部 of Madrid’s thinking and they will be ready to pounce.

Liverpool must qualify for the 支持する／優勝者s League again next season, or 進歩 in some other 有形の way. To lose Stering would make plain a 厳しい truth ― until Liverpool start 上陸 major トロフィーs they will remain wide open to the predatory attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.

And while we're at it...

The moment Brendan Rodgers 表明するd his displeasure at England’s insensitive 治療 of Daniel Sturridge during the last get-together ― 効果的に 非難するing Roy Hodgson for what will stretch to a six-week 傷害 absence ― it was plain there would be trouble ahead.

This, coupled with the 避けられない fact that even a half-strength England team should be able to 勝利，勝つ enough matches to qualify for the European 選手権 now UEFA have 拡大するd the number of finalists to 24, will make it harder for Hodgson to 新採用する 終始一貫して.

Sturridge is absent this time and there will be others. Louis 先頭 Gaal has also pulled out two of the backroom staff ― Tony Strudwick and 棒 Thornley ― from 未来 international 義務, 説 Manchester 部隊d’s needs are greater.

When England are playing San Marino, Estonia and ― up next in November ― Slovenia, it is hard to argue. Until this interminable qualifying 過程 is over, a 広大な／多数の／重要な many may decide their time is better served どこかよそで. Anyway, see you in two weeks.

Chelsea are ありそうもない to 結局最後にはーなる ground-株ing at Twickenham while their new stadium is 存在 建設するd. 地元の 居住（者）s will see to that and understandably so.?

Yet at least Chelsea are thinking ahead and should have a 解答 before the first brick is laid. This puts into even 詐欺師 救済 the 不確定 around Tottenham Hotspur’s move from White Hart 小道／航路 to the road next door ― now likely to を受ける an ありそうもない 転換 経由で Milton Keynes.

にもかかわらず the 敗北・負かす against Middlesbrough on Saturday, the best man for the 経営者／支配人’s 職業 at Fulham is 道具 Symons.?

道具 Symons has impressed as Fulham 管理人 経営者／支配人 since taking over from Felix Magath

Adam Reach celebrates 得点する／非難する／２０ing Middlesbrough's first goal against Fulham on the 週末

Before that, he had won three straight games since 後継するing Felix Magath and ha d at last taken the club off the 底（に届く） of the 選手権. The 4-0 勝利，勝つ over Bolton Wanderers was Fulham’s biggest since August 2012.

The problem Symons has got is the five-man 委員会 教えるd by owner Shahid 旅宿泊所 to find the 権利 管理の 候補者. To point to the man in 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 権利 now, 発表するing ‘There’s your guy’ would be too 平易な. The 委員会 now must be seen to be doing something and a 使節団 that should have reached 決意／決議 last week could drag on, becoming more コンビナート／複合体 each time a result goes awry.

In 敗北・負かす it will now be asked whether Symons is the 権利 man: the fact is he should have been 任命するd already.

Dave Reddin, the Football 協会’s 長，率いる of 業績／成果 services (yes, really), 配達するd a damning 判決 on England’s World Cup to the FA Board. Unfortunately, 経営者／支配人 Roy Hodgson had already given his 演説（する）／住所 and left the room, so those 現在の could not 質問（する） him on Reddin’s opinions. The running order was everything that day. If the FA 階層制度 had been genuinely 利益／興味d in a 地位，任命する-mortem, Hodgson’s would have been the last 発言する／表明する, not the first.?

The players went to Manchester 部隊d, 兵器庫 and Liverpool, the 経営者／支配人 was poached by Tottenham Hotspur, now Manchester 部隊d have spirited away Southampton’s physiotherapist Matt Radcliffe. And yet, still no 職業 for former 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある Nicola Cortese, unattached since leaving last January.

When he was at the club, he was frequently linked with 重要な positions in Italy. Yet, 利用できる for の近くに to 10 months, still nothing. It is almost as if rich owners do not need a 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある to take the credit for spending their money; as if that is one 面 of the 商売／仕事 they can 扱う alone.

Jonjo Shelvey is a very good player for Swansea City. As an England international his 制限s are obvious, however. He did not fancy turning out for the Under 21 team so, incredibly, has been 含むd in the 十分な squad instead for matches against San Marino and Estonia.

Jonjo Shelvey has been called up to the England squad にもかかわらず 以前 not wanting to play for the U21s

His club 経営者／支配人, Garry 修道士, thinks he can be the next Steven Gerrard. England 候補者s are thin on the ground ― but that does not mean we have to play let’s pretend, or imbue 候補者s with 誇張するd せいにするs.

Shelvey had the chance to be the next Gerrard at Liverpool. He ended up at Swansea. This form line is ありそうもない to be 逆転するd against the strongest 対抗者s on the international 行う／開催する／段階.

Mohammad Ashraful, the former captain of Bangladesh, has had his 禁止（する） for match-直す／買収する，八百長をするing 減ずるd from eight years to five, with two 一時停止するd. He may be 支援する in 競争の激しい cricket as 早期に as August 2016.

Yet who needs schooling in not throwing games? Will all players now be 扱う／治療するd leniently if they have failed to receive this important lesson? Until the ICC regard honesty as a default, immutable position and not a tutorial, cricket will remain under 疑惑.
