1) Spendwise, Sp**s were 7th this year and have been 6th for the 4 years before

2) Wenger achieved those figures with even lower spend and by 2015/16 our fans were screaming at him that 'Top 4 is not a trophy.' Now suddenly a manager like that with another club is the best thing since sliced bread.
3) Those finishes, out performing his spend position, are more likely because of a fluke . . . a 3 times golden boot winner who cost absolutely nothing! How often has that happened?
Anyway fantastic to see someone using a squad cost argument to justify their position. My work is done.

And now you are supposed to explain why we should trust that guy.

They’ve improved a bit in the league recently, he might not be sure that Ole gets the sack.
Even if he does, whilst they have financial power we might be closer to competing.
Also he’s relying on Ed Woodward to do what he’s never done and actually back his managers.

I'm not sure about Pochettino.
He was an exceptionally good manager at Sp**s, and they played some great football. But then it stagnated and even under Emery we looked better than them for a large chunk of last season and the beginning of this one.
From what I've read it sounds like his methods (eg double training sessions) are something that just couldn't be sustained without regularly refreshing the squad - something Sp**s didn't do for two years. The players didn't hate him, some of them just couldn't maintain what they'd been giving for the last few years.
The worry I'd have is that the players who couldn't thrive under him aren't necessarily the players who we need to move on - eg Xhaka apparently trains hard, Lacazette isn't renowned for his stamina. The squad needs significant work in midfield and defence already, to craft it around Pochettino's needs might be a massive project.
Having said that, even with Kroenke in charge, Arsenal would still provide that regular investment that Sp**s didn't so Pochettino could do well in the longer term - and he gave young players at Sp**s a chance so the likes of Willock, Martinelli and Saka could continue their development here with confidence.
But even if we did want him, I don't think we're the challenge he wants, and with Solskjaer only a loss or two from getting the sack I'd be pretty confident that Pochettino has his eyes firmly on Manchester.

Nope they just sacked him. If it were gardening leave it would have reported as such.

I was going off the values here, either one could be more accurate. Even if your ones are correct which they might not be, he’s still overperformed at a consistent rate.
You can’t actually be arguing it’s a fluke just because the numbers don’t back you up

What's your problem with me? Just because I stopped training you in chess after you sneezed all over the board? Grow up.
