I keep going around in circles and keep coming back to the same argument.
All of the big 6 have greater resources than us, even Sp**s is you consider CL and a +£60 m squad value.
All of the big 6 have better coaches than Mikel, surely even his biggest fans can see that.
There are only two ways to address this, we either up our spending massively or we get a manager who can defy the odds and get the squad punching two or three places above it's weight.
I don't think the Kronke's have the appetite to match the spending of the Manchester clubs or peak Abrahmovic Chelsea so that only leaves the alternative.
I don't want Mikel out because he is awful, he is a decent young coach with some good ideas but he has proved that he is a 'par' coach at best and that's not good enough if we want to challenge the best. Looking down the line say we have exceptional recruitment over the next couple of windows and a couple of Saka or TAA level stars come through the Hale End that raise us from a 5th/6th level club to a 3rd/4th level club I still wouldn't fancy Mikel to make us any better than 3rd/4th.
