Ineos have hardly covered themselves in glory. Retaining ten bob Hag after the FA Cup final then binning him off a few months into the new season. The Dan Ashworth chappie as director of football. Amorin. Despite being 6th in the table (level on points with 5th).Originally posted by PSRB View PostHilarious.. They're in such a mess.
Fergie in!

That club is in all sorts of trouble. Even Ferguson at his prime couldn't sort this out.Originally posted by pjlincs View PostIneos have hardly covered themselves in glory.

I think as long as their ownership model remains, they are ****ed.
We rightly give Arteta huge credit for turning the club around but resolving the situation above him was the key. His relationship with Edu was key. The transfer business has been excellent, albeit expensive.
This Amorim stuff shows it can fall apart quite quickly. I do hope this Berta chap knows his place

His relationship with the owners too, of course. I remember Josh Kroenke was very visible and re-assuring in the public eye when Arteta took over.Originally posted by Peter View PostThat club is in all sorts of trouble. Even Ferguson at his prime couldn't sort this out.

Yes. The owners have to agree on the model. What we had under Emery was a complete mess. And the transfers reflected that. All over the place.Originally posted by Rich View PostHis relationship with the owners too, of course.

I think they trusted Edu and he was a huge part of hiring Arteta. Between them, they did a superb job in turning things around. And it took a while.....

the table is strange. (although it's just maths)Originally posted by WES View PostMight just be me but I was shocked to notice that they are in 6th and only 3 points off the CL.
How the f*ck did that happen given how **** they've been?
one min chelsea were title contenders are now 17 points behind us.
and liverpool who seemed to lose every week are 4th,

Since the summer of '86, we've had one year of Rioch, one and a half of Gub Ebening, and over 35 of Arsene, GG {him, not me} and MA.
I do like stability. I don't think I could handle it if we changed managers every 2-3 years like most clubs. I'd get all discombobulated.

I see Edu is on very thin ice at Forest, always seemed a slightly dangerous move with that lunatic owner.Originally posted by Rich View PostHis relationship with the owners too, of course. I remember Josh Kroenke was very visible and re-assuring in the public eye when Arteta took over.

Never had a chance really, once it was allowed to became clear that he was practically wedded to a particular formation and style of play, regardless of results and available resources (praise his virtues so hard to the point that they becomes vices). You can do that after a year or two, once you've proved yourself, but not from the start.Originally posted by PSRB View PostHilarious.. They're in such a mess.
I mean; is he a coach or is he not. If he is then he should get on and COACH! If I'm a fat, gin-sodden club director, what the hell do I know or care about football tactics and formations and whatnot. That's why I hired a coach!"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
