WENGER SHOULD GO TO BARCA - ARSENAL DON'T DESERVE HIM

I was saddened to learn that Barca coach Tito Vilanova is about to stand aside because his cancer has returned. My best wishes to Tito and his family at this very tough time.
     Of course, he has done an excellent job since taking over from Pep in the summer - as I speak the Catalan kings are 13 points clear at the top of Serie A and favourites (again) to win the Champions League.
     But family and health come first.
     For Barca, the problem now is who to replace him with.
     Well, for what it's worth, if I was in charge at the Camp Nou, I would go for Arsene Wenger.
     He is one of the top five managers in the world today and his Arsenal team are not known as 'Barca lite' for no reason...it is because he advocates playing the sort of flowing, wonderful football for which Barca are famed and adored.
     And here's the rub - I think Arsene deserves a break from Arsenal.
     The way he has been treated and abused by the Emirates fans of late is a disgrace.
     Here is a man who has built the modern-day Arsenal and yet a section of spoilt fans are calling for his head and shouting abuse.
      Put simply, they don't deserve a manager as good as Wenger and Arsene is too good for them.
      Go on Arsene, head off to Barca - and enjoy the last few years of your time in management.
       They say you only realise you had a good thing when it is gone - those Gunners fans who have abused the best manager in their history will become only too painfully aware of that if Wenger does leave.
