It needs to happen in collaboration. Otherwise we’re going to end up with players who potentially can’t play how our manager wants to.
I get it in the context of cheap finds like Mavropanos. But to shell out big sums when we’re made to believe we have a limited budget just seems a bit dumfounded. Hopefully it works out
You only need to look as far as conte and Chelsea this season.
Fully agree on the above.
Then again, it's probably why they're looking at arteta. The guys been an assistant to the assistant manager at city for 2 years and that's his only experience which is f***ing farcical. They want him because he'll be greatful for a job instead of demanding the best for the system he wants to play.
I don't care if hes the second coming of Jesus, even jesus had to prove himself by turning water into wine.
Only thing arteta has done is kept his hair immaculate in all weather (ok that is impressive but still).
I'm so cold on this appointment and sincerely hope I'm proven wrong, but I can only see an inexperienced arteta learning the harsh lessons of management at our expense and it all comes down to the board not shelling out on what we need...
