We are most financially stable then any club in the world in my honest opinion. As a business owner I would want my manager to be like him.
However you also need to keep your fans, or clients in my case, happy. That means upgrading players (software), stadiums (premises) and trophies (hmmm struggling to find a comparison with this one in my case).
Anyway, we can't knock the old boy. He has turned our club around. I agree we need a new injection of fresh air. What manager is there that we could possible get to take on the reigns? Mourinho?! Pep? Klopp? Seriously these guys just spend spend spend. That's all good but look at our stadium, facilities, food, venue, it's top notch.
I sound bias but maybe that's because i have 10 season tickets and 2 platinums plus i run the finance office for the hospitality company, so I live and breathe the club. But still , we are a solid club. We just need a manager that doesn't just want to spend all the cash and f*ck us
Any ideas of a manager that has it all??
If you are genuine then you sum up everything I find so nauseating about modern football. I wish we could go back to the times where the kind of things that obviously appeal to you did not exist at football.
The game has been ruined by crap like corporate hospitality and people boasting about financial stability,
I know many claim that the money the corporate side generates has been good for the game but all I have seen since are obscene increases in prices everywhere and for everyone .... and so the average fan of the past is far worse off in every way than they were before.
There is this delusional belief that the game has progressed and continues to progress. For many who sustained the game for years before Sky TV came along, it simply hasnt. The whole circus that Sky come with and their saturated coverage of football is vile.
Loathsome business types have muscled their way in and dress up their own greed as them doing something noble for the game. As a result the whole dynamic of the football crowd has changed and attending a top flight game has become a soulless, depressing experience compared to what it once was.
And that leads me to the Emirates, which in my opinion is a grotesque stadium. Again it epitomises everything wrong with modern football and is the polar opposite of the stadium we left behind.
Moving to that monstrosity is the most tragic decision in Arsenal's history and for long term Arsenal fans it has compounded the other unwelcome changes made to the game in the last 20 odd years.
