Wright has gone up in my estimations in recent months.

Money helps, but it's not everything. Nobody is denying it makes a difference to a clubs chances of success. The club that spends say, 200m a year over a period of 3 years (600m) isn't guaranteed to do better than the club that spends 100m a year over the same period (300m. Now 300m is a huge difference on paper, but in an era where you can only get 3 or 4 top class players with 200m, management, scouting and lots of other factors come into play, and so it has proven, also.

Rather than guessing, read a book about it. 'Soccernomics', 'The numbers Game'. The statistical study of thousands of European matches showed money (squad cost, wages) can largely account for where teams end up in leagues. Managers only about 15% influence.

the full quote isn't that bad tbf

Where did you get the translation from?

 

[GDeep™]

I really, really hope that this is a wild speculation.

Why? Other than Mourinho there isn’t a better manager available.

Putting all our eggs in one basket in terms of the Europa League and it's only November poverty stuff, don't want anyone referring to Raul as "Don Raul" ever again if he's unwilling to do what needs to be done.

Borderline racist imo.

Same if he brings his mate Enrique in - we're not a poor man's Barcelona, ffs

"Poor man's Barcelona" would be an improvement from where we are now. We have more in common with Stoke than Barcelona right now.

Losing to Leicester makes things pretty untanable for me. If true (big if) are we actually waiting until top four is out of reach?

I don't really trust Dean, but when does it become untenable? After that murderous December/January period? How much of a difference does it really make sacking him in November or January.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

He's lost the dressing room I feel, the board are trying to avoid making the decision and are kidding themselves at this point. Their just hoping he can turn it around so the decision doesn't have to be made. I'm sorry but I'm really turning on Raul and Josh now, they're bottling it big time. If they don't do if we lose to Leicester then they're public enemy number 1 for me.

Knowing our board we'll move once is too late. Think it ought to be done now, regardless of saturday's result.

Move now and MAYBE the manager bounce will see us pick up some form. This international break could also give the new guy two weeks to start getting things on track.

If somehow we don't manage to **** up this appointment, the new man could have us playing his way starting January, which could translate to one of those famous Wenger strong finishes we used to see.

Need Don Ivan back, at least he wasn't afraid to sack our greatest manager, if he was still here he'd have sacked Emery by now smh. @Kingslayer

 

[GDeep™]

Been saying for a while, Emery will keep his job as long as the team is floating around 4th.

We’ll float around 4th all season.

 

[GDeep™]

Not like there is a good manager to take over now anyway, unless you want Jose.

Im backing the club here.

Brighton, Sheffield, Bournmouth, Palace are all playing away this weekend. Even if we lose we may still stay in 5th position by some quirk of fate.

The board will never sack Emery while he's 5th and still in the EL and FA Cup. United and Sp**s are 10th and 11th and they haven't sacked their managers yet.

But if he drops to 10th or below in coming weeks and Sp**s, United start rising, that's when the board will act.

I chose Arteta, but most of you unwashed peons freaked out, so I put Emery in place knowing you'd all end up begging for Mikel even after my death.

"Can't afford" is quite alarming though.
