The result is a lot of really good people engaging in a collective exercise in denial in which they seem to be competing to see who can make the statement most steeply staked in sheer avoidance of reality now. I'll cite an example from to me one of the very best posters on here on his day
Okay then how exactly can you guarantee this then Augie? And what are ready and willing to do if in fact this new manager does not do as you guarantee they will? All we ever here is nothing is guaranteed in football - Even Board members have pointed out that spending more does not guarantee winning anything, and having watched a variety of sports long enough that is certainly true. But if that is true spending more can't guarantee what we want on the pitch how can hiring a new manager guarantee delivering it and better how can you guarantee they will deliver - especially if they have the same working budget as the present manager which logic suggests is likely and even certain.augie wrote:These players are on easy street strolling around in wengerworld and I can guarantee you that a new manager brought in from outside (as opposed to internal promotion) would either sort that out and get rid of the slackers that wenger loves :roll:
Seriously why are so many so eager to avoid reality and what does it accomplish?
For example I can guarantee with equal or greater certainty that if the Arsenal Board actually was making significantly more money available to the manager to spend and actually wanted it spent by the manager at this time either the money would be being spent or the manager who was refusing to spend it would have been sacked by now. If we can see all this going on the Board absolutely has to see it because they are dealing with it directly every day and have all the complete information we lack – the lack of complete information the Board’s apologists hides behind.
I can guarantee that if our Board actually wanted more money invested in the team that surely would be happening either by Arsene Wenger now or his replacement now. That the manager is not spending more money and is under no pressure to do so six years on is strong evidence to any true realist about our plight that the Board are happy with things as they are. It is in fact absolute evidence of it, because if they were not they could do several things to change the situation for the better and in six years have apparently done nothing but cynically mis-lead supporters all too often all too willing to be mis-led about this reality.
They would rather simply sack the manager and believe that alone would guarantee change for the better without thinking beyond what happens once the manager is sacked. Frankly the people who believe this kind of bizarre reasoning sound more deluded than they like to believe the current manager is.
If you doubt this let’s dip into the bag again in the next post so those who wish can take a breather...
