Wenger praises Avram Grant

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that he likes Avram Grant and believes he has been a great success in the Premiership this season after helping them to a title winning position and the Champions League final.

"Football is down to decision making about human beings. That means the rationality is not always the first criteria to make decisions," Wenger observed.

"Only you (the media) believe that if Mourinho leaves, the club will die. Do you really think I believe that? They have great players - do you think because Mourinho goes [Frank] Lampard becomes average?

"Grant has got some experience. He has a completely different style to Mourinho - but that doesn't mean he is not good.

"He does not say all day 'it is only me'. Everybody thinks because he does not say that, he is bad. That is not right.

"You look at what people do and what they say, does it make sense how they act? I like his style."
