From Ben Shipman :
Myles, I’ve had a revelation.
I had been undecided about Wenger staying on as manager.
Then today I had an awakening.
People ask “But who is out there to replace him?”.
Answer: it doesn’t matter.
We aim for 4th! Any manager can finish 4th with this squad.
So we might as well have a change!
Myles says:
The world outside the UK is full of well-qualified football managers.
Who knew much about Mauricio Pochettino before he came to Southampton and did well?
Marco Silva has been at Hull City for 15 minutes and transformed their fortunes already.
Success in football over any five-year period is primarily a function of your resource-base, which determines the abilities of your squad.
I’m dubious about the abilities of some of the household names in this Arsenal group.
So I hope you’re right about the squad being nailed-on for 4th or third, as usual.
On the Chelsea-Arsenal game, I’ll post at 9a.m. or ASAP.
