Imagine not getting a James Benge joke.
I've literally seen this posted like 5 times on here now, how are they not realising.

I never said it gives them an advantage? The initial point was just that more money in the game meant that talent was spread more throughout the division, which meant that games against the "lesser" sides were more difficult.Surely you'd expect that, player prices have rocketed in the last few years.
If virtually every teams squad investment has more than doubled in the last 5 years. You'll have to explain to me how that gives the lower teams an advantage over 5 years ago.
Also, my oral English is horse ****.

You appoint a rookie manager based on where you think he'll have you in 3-4 years.
One must venture to mention that Bertie Mee had no prior experience of management.We could start with:
1. has managed a team before.
And then go from there. Unless we think that's too limiting.
Think you might be over-complicating the meaning of 'rookie manager' a bit Toby.The thing still is though: What's a rookie manager? I'd say someone who's maybe coached a team for a year or two, or someone who maybe has never coached a first team before, but has massive experience in youth coaching or as an assistant. Arteta had nothing of the sorts. This appoinment is still just flashy and a lot of good will.
Not everyday blame Xhaka/Willian/Bellerin. Especially when there have been alternatives all season - a season where there was no pressure to win anything and Arteta could have easily developed players for the seasons after or at least generated players sales to aid us in the transfer market.
Xhaka contract extension?Big news in the works by the way.
Club waiting for the right time to announce it.
I don't see the logic of that bro. If the average squad investment has doubled and average player prices has doubled in the last 5 years. It should make lower teams easier to beat. And the recent breaking records of 21 unbeaten wins for City and two years of title winners getting 99 points and 98 points seems to show that's true.I never said it gives them an advantage?

Congrats on the cricket btw. Thought you guys were very impressive.

Step back a bit and realise this is just part of a reaction to some Arteta-Out [Mod Edit: any need for that word?] here who just want to stop conversation and observations of Arteta outside their narratives. It is very obvious who these people are, including some who overtly keep protesting that they don’t have an agenda when they so clearly do.
Whatever the “inevitability” of Josh et al. decisions are does not stop my observations, good and bad, of Arteta, as we go along.
Edit: ok mods, “keyboard warriors” would have sufficed.
How? They're spending more and signing more expensive players themselves.I don't see the logic of that bro.

We’ve spent a record breaking amount over the 3 years and it’s been mostly poorly spent and managed. We’re midtable because of mismanagement. We finished 5th and reached a European final with mainly a Wenger team.How? They're spending more and signing more expensive players themselves.
He did appoint Don Howe to help him tactically. Haven't really heard of Arteta's helpers before..One must venture to mention that Bertie Mee had no prior experience of management.
