Much as though they had money, he didn't that often put it to (good) use - would rather spend 12 million on youngsters and try to improve them than to spend money on players who would immediately pay dividends. It is only in the last couple of years he has spent bigger money - and even then other teams were outspending them. He did an excellent job of keeping Arsenal at the top end of the PL whilst building the new stadium - given his economics background he tried to manage but the financial and the footballing side - but ultimately fans want success ON the pitch and he wasn't doing that. He also became far too stubborn and refused to see the things even basic fans could see.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have called it quits a couple of years ago but holding such a place among the greats he can still leave with his head held high. I'm not so sure - Clough won two European Cups - if in terms of trophies won then maybe - is it trophies won that the "3rd most successful" is being based on ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is too soon for Vieira, but he has done his apprenticeship, or started it at least, and Arsenal have been slowly switching to a DoF model, which Vieira has experience of. Maybe in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his analysis, he speaks of 7 possibilities, Rodgers doesn't even get mentioned. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43841645 Dermott Desmond was talking his manager up in the press yesterday, safe in the knowledge that Arsenal (or any other big club) would take one look at what Rodgers can't do in Europe (with Liverpool and Celtic) and ignore him. Rodgers is in a comfort zone up in Scotland where his ego constantly gets massaged and the media are so in awe that they don't take him to task for repeated European debacles where he isn't able to learn or adapt from experience. If he goes back down South, it'd be a matter of time and the David Brent comparisons would be getting dusted down from a few years ago.
