Wenger an enemy of sacking

(08-01-2011) Arsene Wenger has warned clubs who readily sack their managers that they are courting "financial disaster". This comes as four EPL managers are reported to be on the verge of the axe. Wenger, who has been through his fare share of testing times since arriving at Highbury in September 1996, believes managers must be given time. "It looks that when you open the papers every day a new manager is sacked. I am a complete enemy of that," said the Arsenal boss. "We know that to have success in football you need stability, and without that the club is going in a different directions every six months. It finishes always with financial disaster without proving anywhere that changing managers provides success more than one time in 10." Added Wenger: "I am a great believer in technical stability at a club."
