Wenger during the beIN Sports interview

Wenger, who spent 22 years in charge of the Gunners before his exit last summer, fears for the future of management and says he would not accept such radical changes.“I’ve said many times, you could imagine the next chairman who says that the social networks can make a change in the second half,” Wenger told beIN Sports.“That will become more and more entrenched. It will happen. I personally, would not accept it. I’m from the old school in that respect. But we’re going in that direction.“If you imagine the power of social networks. What is even worse, it’s not the majority, the minority is the most extreme, it’s a bit like the problem with democracy, it’s a dictatorship of the minorities.2

Wenger spent 1235 games in charge of Arsenal

“It’s not for me, there’s something I call intuition, I grew up and used my own eyes.“You can as well imagine that in 20 years, a robot will sit in front of you.”Arsenal have a powerful online presence: their Twitter account is the fourth-most followed of any football team in the world with 13.8million followers. Wenger did, however, admit that a robot would have less trouble zipping up a coat than he did.“In fact, I improved in that,” he joked.“I was conscious of that, they are too long and sometimes the zip didn’t work and I struggled that.“People were showing it so I was conscious that I was being watched.”
