SOUNDBITE (English): Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager

"I am sad that he (David Moyes) was not given time and I wish him well. And I think that it is just part of what the modern game is now, there is no time for people to do their job, and that is a big threat to our game."

SOUNDBITE (English): Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager

"What I mean by that ... if you want quality people in any job, you need to give them time to develop and become good. And people with quality will not come into our job any more. The average life expectancy (for managers) of English professional clubs at the moment is eleven months and that is quite unstable. And every guy who is married, has a family, will have a big hesitancy before he goes into that game. That means the quality of the coaching and the quality of the managing is under threat because it will not attract quality people any more."
