Bruce Rioch: The One Before Wenger
Once upon a time, someone other than Arsene Wenger managed Arsenal; his name Bruce Rioch.
The Set Pieces take a look at the story of Rioch’s single season with the Gunners.
We’re an odd kind of website. We are small and we are modest, but so was Gianfranco Zola and that never held him back. You will not find any news here because, frankly, the newspapers do it far better. Nor will you find booming opinion columns on the issues of the day, because everyone does booming opinion columns on the issues of the day. Those searching for conjecture, speculation, gossip, heatmaps and articles entitled “39 players that Brendan Rodgers might buy in the next transfer window,” will also leave empty handed. So what will we offer you in this crowded marketplace? Well, three things, really: Incisive interviews with figures from football’s past and present; first hand reports on issues that have caught our eye, timeless features and reviews of practically anything football related that we can get our hands on. In short, we’ll get people who are good at stuff to do stuff what they’re good at.
