Wenger has been manager of Arsenal for 11 years, Rafa of Liverpool for 3 and a half. How is he supposed to have found, developed and promoted a team full of youth players to the same extent as Wenger in a third of the time?
By the way, Arsenal's development of young players is often overstated; most of theirs are also picked up from other clubs at the age of 16/17 rather than being entirely homegrown.
