Gunners legend Wright: Mourinho doesn't belong at Arsenal
Arsenal legend Ian Wright can't see Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho succeeding Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
Wright wrote in The Sun: "He is a fantastic character and great value for both supporters and the media.
"There is talk of a job swap with Arsene Wenger and I am sure many Real fans would love to see the Frenchman take charge of their club.
"He would certainly change the current playing style imposed by Mourinho. It is certainly effective. Yet while Real may be racking up both points and goals, they are still not winning any friends.
"Against Barca last week, Mourinho's team — not for the first time — seemed happy to kick lumps out of the opposition and it certainly was not pretty.
"Mourinho has brilliant tactical ability but also a nose for an argument.
"He always seems to be in conflict with his players, opposing managers, fans or the board. The Premier League is where he is happiest. Perhaps over here, the fans understand what he is all about.
"But I just do not think he would be suited at Arsenal, who have a history of doing things the right way.
"I cannot imagine any Gunners manager celebrating a goal by sliding on his knees in the Emirates technical area.
"Equally, I do not think Mourinho will ever get the chance of managing Manchester United for much the same reasons as why he will not manage Arsenal.""But I hope he does NOT turn up at Arsenal.

Look @ this short idiot talking!! You should have contacted your adopted son Shaun Wright Phillips before coming out with this bizarre, ludicrous and totally a farce comment and accusation of the best ever ''Jose Mourinho'' for he once said he enjoyed playing under this great man you are accusing of so many unpalatable and false sayings man. Has it ever shown in the attendance of R. Madrid matches by the fans? They are the ones that matter - and you are simply a hateful fool who probably have your brain in your feet and who doesn't count. Of course your darling Arsenal & Wenger lacks every bit of ambition and satisfied with playing 3rd/5th fiddle to others...Mourinho does not kn ow how to loose, it is alien to his genetics don't you get it idiot?!!!How would he cope and what would you say if Mourinho does not win any trophy in a single season!! faggot? I am sure hippocrites like you would attempt crucifying him. Alas, we love Mourinho and will always do. How many of his ex-players have accused Mourionho or bad-mouthed him? Did you consider that @ all idiot? The two players - Casillas & Ramos are simply spoilt and acting childish. Callejon is spanish but not complaining even as he comes from the bench almost always. Shut your trap and face that your pathetic and ever-underperforming team and pertually - loosing coach. U are satisfied with not winning and JOSE MOURINHO is not. By the way, Arsenal can't handle his pedigree and too small for him!!!!!!
I don't think mourinho is cut out for a club like arsenal. He cant imagine himself being empty handed for six year, maybe that's why he manages to win atleast trophy every year. The gunners are not that ambitious.
IF U PLAY YOUR GAME,y dnt u play den?
