Van Gaal won FA cup in his final season v Crystal Palace (they were abysmal in the league that year though) and then they won the league cup and Europa in Mourinho's first season. Nothing since. Surprised how easily they won tonight and are getting through the group as I thought they'd massively struggle to finish ahead of PSG and Leipzig.

Tomaszk Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Any result that keeps Ole there is a good one. Wasn't the funny home loss I was hoping for but it puts more credit in Ole's little piggy bank. That's funny in a different way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the league or champions league, or at least look like you could challenge for them. Wenger won the FA Cup 3 times in his last 5 seasons at Arsenal and was perceived as out of touch and clueless in his final years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was hilarious, absolutely everyone apart from Arsenal fans could see they were going to fall back as soon as the let him go. I know it can get boring, and sometimes it’s fun to roll the dice, but they honestly believed he was holding them back from greatness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 in fairness they did put a load of infrastructure in behind him, they got a Swedish bloke from Dortmund and several others from memory, restructured everything I think they've all left the club now too same as utd, the man at the very top seemingly doesn't care and it trickles down to all levels, add to that arsenal then getting rid of staff and the rot is there, it'll be inconsistent and best and nobody giving a shit at worst both clubs are incredibly stale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Poch seems the obvious choice but perhaps he seems it as a poisoned chalice and would rather take over a smaller but better run club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Since he left Spurs in November, Bayern, Barcelona, Juventus, Arsenal, Napoli, Milan have all changed managers with PSG, Inter, United and Dortmund considering it at one stage Yet nobody took a punt on Poch Edited October 30, 2020 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the manager to blame for the mess I think that is only partly true. Yes the structure at the club doesn’t help but with the money spent each manager they’ve appointed since Fergie has under performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
