Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Has anyone said Pep yet :ph43r:

I thought Barca were bonkers appointing him when they did, when Mourinho was available shows what I know :lol:
Didn't Pep do wonders with the B team in the Spanish first division?
It’s not been unusual down the years for Barcelona and Real Madrid to appoint head coaches from within the club. Barca, like Ajax, really value their own coaching structure and so have always been comfortable with internal appointments. But this Arteta thing is something else. He’s third or fourth in command at Man City, has never been a manager, and isn’t even an Arsenal legend like a Thierry Henry or Patrick Vieira who the fans would rally behind. If it happens, it’s the most left-field appointment I can ever remember one of the elite English clubs making.

It's like all those Charlton fans who wanted rid of Curbishley so they could get someone to take them to the next level.
to be fair, the dozen or so managers they've had in the last 10 years have certainly taken them to another level

my own favourite is the aston villa fans who wanted martin o'neill out after 3 consecutive sixth-placed finishes because they wanted to break into the champions league places
My favourite Villa story was when David O'Leary was the manager & he called their support fickle.

Next home game they had a banner in the Holt end saying, we're not fickle, we just don't like you.

David Ornstein (pretty much top tier for Arsenal news) pretty much confirming Arteta and the fact they'll have a £50 million transfer budget pre-player sales.

Welp. Either Arteta is the second coming of Pep or Arsenal are doomed to the Europa League for the foreseeable.

If you looked at a list of the top 30 richest clubs in European football most of them would be English. If you compiled a similar list looking at the actual best teams most of them wouldn’t be English. That’s why their supporters are getting so impatient. They’re paying 5-star money for a 3-star service. The sad thing is, they seem to think chucking more cash at the problem will make things better.
Sounds like a club not so far from our own in Glasgow. :lol:

As for Fat Sam and Moyes, if their careers reflected a players in that they had huge wages and repeatedly failed at each club those two would be playing in the lower leagues.

How they can still get huge salaries at fairly if clubs is baffling. :ph43r:

That £50mil won't see them far, so they better hope like eff Arteta has the midas touch.

Can't believe Russell Brand has been missed out.

Double reason to include him

The rationale for appointing him is that they have removed the absolute football power which Wenger had and replaced it with the more continental model. Various bods already in place as heads of recruitment, performance etc.

They think Arteta is a good pick to slot into that model, maybe more so than a big name coach. That logic won't help them if and when it goes wrong.

Think he had a worse win % than Hughes did so it's hardly a surprise.

Like Moyes, Lambert's career seems on a downward spiral. Bet they both get decent jobs soon.

Moyes had a decent go of it at Everton and then had his big moment and opportunity with United, he's done his bit career wise whatever happens now. It's fair to say he enjoyed a decade or more of relative success in the Premiership, particularly looking at the ten, fifteen years Everton had before he got there.

Whereas Moyes was patient enough to wait for his big chance, appearing pretty loyal to Everton and Preston before that, guys like McGhee, Lambert and Coyle all went down there and jumped ship way too soon, typically just as things were moving in the right direction, in to very precarious new jobs. Terrible decision making which perhaps highlights their inability to manage at the top level with any consistency.

Read on the Mowbray thread *shudder* that he told Celtic in 2009 that he didn't want to be considered for an interview
