    Ars&egrave;ne Wenger has no intention of ever becoming Arsenal chairman.</p>

    Ahead of last week&rsquo;s AGM, the current incumbent, Peter Hill-Wood, suggested the French manager would be a good choice to takeover once his coaching career was over.</p>

    It is not as fanciful as it sounds. Wenger is one of the few football managers in possession of an economics degree. However he does not want the position.</p>

    &ldquo;No thank you very much,&rdquo; said the 58-year-old. &ldquo;I prefer green grass to carpets.&rdquo;</p>

    Yeh can't see him permanantyl in a board room. He will be with Arsenal till he passes away i think. Look at it, He was an Unknown when he came to the Gunners, I think he was managing some Jap club. Now look widely regarded by fans, Players and fellow managers as oneof the best ever.I love you Arsene</p>

    Yeah, the man is very wise, I prefer to have him on the pitch also, instead of sitting in an office and smoking cigars...lol. A manager that doesnt have to turn to spending (Madrid,Manu,Liverpool,Barca,Chelsea) to get success is quite an accomplishment, thats what distinguishes him from the rest, also his keen eye for talent.</p>

    Indeed thats what makes me laugh about Liverfool. They spent between &pound;40-&pound;50mill in the summer and look where they are. Arsenal actually Spent less then they made and they are Way in front of Liverpool. Justce, Surely.</p>

    Maybe in the future, I agree with him, he should stay as manager right now, and after he is done winning all the trophies he wants, then maybe make a move.</p>
