LMA backs Wenger in Platini row

The League Managers’ Association (LMA) have jumped to the defence of Arsene Wenger in the wake of UEFA president Michel Platini’s recent criticism of the Arsenal boss.

Platini, in an interview with Grenoble newspaper Dauphine Libere, accused the Wenger of putting business ahead of football and admonished the Gunners boss for calling for video replays to be introduced to help referees on questionable decisions.
