You have to have great mental strength to point out the mental strength of others so often.

c0burn posted:it's been a real rollercoaster. you started the run in sixth, however after a blistering run of form you got up to sixth. the latest bad result has only gotten you down to sixth though, so it's not all bad. Phwoar, a little mental toughness training from the master of mind games himself, Arsene Wenger, will get them right up into 4th place. Hell, maybe even 3rd, the sky's the limit!

Hashtag Banterzone posted:“Have I looked to sign Kante? Yes. When he was in France and when he was at Leicester,” Wenger said. “I cannot explain everything [about why he preferred Chelsea] but it is quite obvious when you look at where he has gone. Was it the money? I do not want to talk about that. Transfers are transfers – you cannot explain absolutely everything.” Judging by this season apparently Spurs, Liverpool, and both Manchester clubs aren't either. But if Chelsea's wage structure is considered paying a player what they're worth and no less then Arsene must be holding all off his players' families hostage to get them on the field.

Jose posted:the government have decided to force the FA to reform and I'm sure FIFA will be happy about it What exactly is their problem with the FA? That they're not doing things the government want or that the board is composed of old white guys? Because it seems like they're mostly just that it's a bunch of old white guys.

I get the feeling that Sanchez prioritizes playing every match and winning stuff over more money. He would probably be happy with Wenger leaving and keeping the same salary if it meant bringing in a manager who actually has a plan against big teams beyond "go out there and express yourself." Which is what Harry Redknapp would say if he were French and viewed as an intellectual.

peanut- posted:Why? I still don't believe the Arsenal board will get rid of him if he wants to stay. Not unless there's any danger of them finishing outside the top 4. Because everyone is calling for his head so even if the board doesn't sack him he probably won't renew anyway. And when Emery doesn't win the CL he's getting sacked so that opens the door up for Wenger. Not like he'll do better than Emery, mind.

There's going to be a huge power vacuum when Wenger leaves. The best thing that could happen would be for him to move upstairs and still carry on with the day-to-day running of the club, but leave managing the team up to whoever comes after. Next best thing is have Wenger advise the hirings of a director of football and such because Sir Chips and Gazidis are otherwise clueless. The worst thing that could happen to Arsenal is that they finish out of the top four, but if it means being out in the wilderness for a few seasons I think most Arsenal fans would be OK with that because they're not winning league titles as it is. Yeah, they'd have to pay more in wages to get certain players to come if they're not in the Champions League, but at the same time as long as those players aren't courted by Madrid or Barcelona it won't take much to convince them to move to London.

Arsenal get more money from the TV rights deal in the Prem than they get from getting knocked out in the round of 16 every season. They'll survive if they continue to promote promising academy talent like Iwobi and their league of hyphenated last names, and scout and negotiate intelligently otherwise. That £200M+ they have lying around is more than enough to rebuild a squad while shipping out deadwood to lower table sides. Money isn't an issue at Arsenal, it's going to be management of the footballing system once Wenger leaves.

Leicester should bring in Di Matteo and win the Champions League using incredibly negative tactics while simultaneously getting relegated.

EvilHawk posted:Someone on the BBC has pointed out the same thing happened to Mourinho last season and absolutely nobody batted an eyelid because they don't like Mou. Ranieri is seen as some sort of darling of the Premier League and so everyone appears to be overlooking how terrible a job he's done this season. It's funny how people treat you more humanely when you don't demean and belittle other people including the officials and your fellow managers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why people were so merciless when Mourinho was sacked as opposed to Ranieri.
