Wenger was a relative unknown in England (though he had been previously been touted as a potential Technical Director of the Football Association), but quickly led the club to success.
David Dein, the vice-chairman of Arsenal, has described Wenger as the most important manager in the club’s history - ‘a miracle-maker’; without the increased TV revenue and prize money (especially from the Champions League) that Arsenal have accrued thanks to Wenger’s successes, it is unlikely that spending on the new stadium would have been possible.

"I'm a great believer in the Arsene Wenger school of management," is a rather fraught line to chuck into an interview about the future direction of the Labour party.
No, the Wenger School, as interpreted by Mr Miliband is "you don't worry about the opposition, you just get your own act together".
The context: the environmental agenda could be a key agent of change in revitalising the Labour party (which clearly has nothing whatsoever to do with Big Dave Cameron's Notting Hill Windmill and love for Alsakan huskies).

 Amazon.co.uk: The Professor: Arsene Wenger at Arsenal: Books: Myles Palmer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Firstly if you are an Arsenal fan this isnt a bad read, Palmer goes into alot of depth of the Highbury career from 96 to 04 of Arsene Wenger but you feel he is trying to insinuate a close relationship to the Arsenal manager that isnt there.
This often starts with the Arsenal AGM, which is basically where the Arsenal board and Arsene Wenger answer shareholders questions, giving an interesting insight into how the club is run, the personalities of those who run it, and the pleases and concerns of those who pay for it.
Palmer tries to analyse Arsenal's style of play and to explain their gross failure in European comeptition but his efforts are undermined by the occassional factual error (eg Arsenal won 8 games in a row after the 1-1 draw with Chelsea in 2002, not 9, as Palmer claimed).
