Actually getting Mourinho to Arsenal would abviously have numerous difficulties but it was a hyperthetical point. Yes I think that Mourinho would be able to "work the same magic with this team". I do not agree that "this team has too many weaknesses and inadequate players for Mourinho to be able to make the difference with this team as it is". Although a very good arguement could obviously be made that the back up players you mention such as Denilson, Bendtner etc are not good enough, in terms of our first choice 11 are there many that you would swap for others in the premier league? Would you rather have say Lampard than Fabregas? Or Torres than Van Persie? Or Nani than Nasri? Or Park than Wilshire? I would answer no to all of the above. Even in defence we have good players in my opinion in Sagna, Vermaelan, Djourou, Clichy/Gibbs but they are not organised as a unit which a coach like Mourinho would be able to implement since he is "a better defensive organiser" and "a better defensive coach" as you agree with above. So if we have good and/or better players than other clubs then why are we not winning things? I say again it is down to failings of the manager regardless of how much he spends.USMartin wrote:Problem with this is you are assuming Jose Mourinho would take our job. The simple fact is he would not because he could get more financial backing and a greater chance to win trophies at ManU or Man City or even at Liverpool. Yes ne startted at Porto but since then has managed three of the richest most ambitious clubs in the world. Yes we're one of the richest but we lack sufficient ambition to get him to sign.kgw129 wrote:One other thing US Martin. I would be willing to bet that if a different manager, say Mourinho for example, replaced Wenger as manager in the summer, he would win us a trophy next season without making a single additional signing and consequently no additonal expenditure. Have you ever seen one of Mourinho's centre backs make a mistake like Koscielny in the Carling Cup Final? No because he organises his team expecially defensively so that they are greater than the sum of their parts. Wenger does the complete opposite.
Seconnd he his teams from day one at Chelsea were better from end-to-end really than Arsenal is now. Is he a better defensive coach? Certainly. Is he a better defensive organizer? Absolutely. But could he work the same magic with this team with the team he had at Chelsea or Inter or even now at Real wjhere they still have an excellent chance for silverware and maybe even two trophies?
This team has too many weaknesses and inadequate players for Mourinho to be able to make the difference with this team as it is. He can't even make Almunia or Squillaci or Denilson or Rosicky or Bendtner or Eboue good enough and on this team he will have to count on them far too often. Just like Mr. Wenger has.

notice how you have avoided me since being challanged to provide just one piece of independent and varifiable evidence supporting your beliefs that its all down to the manager on his iown refusing to spend money and ignoring the Board' s efforts to make him spend more.
You are the one who hates hearing the truth which is you have no evudence whatsoever supporting your convictiones and and can''t find one in six years and don't have it in you to admit that little. Because if you did you might have to admit you might be wrong and you might have to consider that other people at the club bear some most or even nearly all the repsonsibility for these policies which you don't want to believe is possible let alone true.
No you are the one you are writing about here because you don't have the balls to try and find proof for what you believe because you know its not there and you definitely don't have the balls to acknowledge that reality, let alone the possibility that implies.
