I don't think Allegri would come and if he did he would run into the same problem as Arteta.
Rafa maybe... He has experience with Newcastle...
The expectation these days is of EL football, so if we're 6th/7th or roundabouts, fans would be okay with that.
There's nothing that can justify 15th place.
We had Arsene Wenger working miracles here. While there won't be another Wenger, you have to help yourself by getting top managers, not someone like Emery or Arteta, who is proving to be out of depth. I wanted Arteta here for the aura of mystery btw.
We've spent nearly £350m since Wenger left, so it's not true that we don't have the money. A top manager would be interested if you pay top wages.
We have no leadership up top. The best thing would be to invite Wenger to join the board and work from there on.
Arteta hasn't helped himself by alienating some of our players either, nor does his Pep-like authoritarian streak work if you don't have moguls funding you.
Yes we've spent a lot of money but it was the clubs money. Self sufficient, remember? With Covid ravaging the club and finishing outside the top 8 while, by the way, still paying installments for a few players, It's super unrealistic to expect us to spend a lot of money in the future. Not unless Kroenke's really start spending their own money which I don't see happening.
