Graham backing another 10 years for Arsenal boss Wenger

Former Arsenal boss George Graham says Arsene Wenger could remain manager for another ten years.

Wenger is 60 this month - but Graham believes he can carry on as long as Sir Alex, who will be 68 in December.

"Why not ?" said Graham. "He still has the appetite for the game. He has shown that.

"He still has the hunger and desire to be successful, just like Alex [below]. I cannot see any reason for him to retire in the near future.

"He has everything he wants at the club - in fact everything that any manager would want. He is as powerful at Arsenal as Sir Alex is at Manchester United.

"At Arsenal he is allowed to manage how he wants, there is no interference from the board. They let him get on with what he wants to do.

"There aren't too many clubs where that happens. And it is no coincidence that, over the last 15 years or so, the two most successful clubs have been Arsenal and Manchester United."
