Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew believes that Arsene Wenger deserves to have the Emirates Stadium renamed after him.
Pardew argued that the Frenchman has done tremendous things with the club and should get all the accolades that he deserves.
Recently, Wenger has been constantly criticised by the club's fans following their inconsistent run in the season. Some of the fans have been voicing out their frustration, with some displaying banners seeking for his resignation.
After the defeat to Stoke City last weekend, Wenger was waylaid at a train station where he was booed by some of the fans.
And Pardew is standing up for Wenger, adding that he deserves more than he is getting from the supporters.
"The stadium should be named after Arsene," Pardew told reporters.
"The job he did with that move across from Highbury, when he had all that debt and had to be very careful with his transfer budget, was incredible. It was a miracle that he kept them in the Champions League.
He added: "The incident at the train station was totally disrespectful. I think 90 per cent of Arsenal fans would have been ashamed of that and we could get the backlash of it.
"The crowd on Saturday will want to show how much they love him. After Sir Alex Ferguson he’s the best manager in Premier League history. Jose Mourinho hasn’t done enough yet.
"I think everyone at Arsenal knows Arsene's done a magnificent job – but all of us managers are on six-or seven-game trials with the media and social media. We have to accept that.
"Arsene knows instant results are massive, even for someone who has been in the position as long as he has."
