In all seriousness, he's only had one window, and your squad is packed with wasters, shifting them and obviously getting the right players in will take more than one window, not forgetting many of those are on stupid wages so if course it will be difficult to find buyers.

Arsenal handling of contracts has been shocking & go back to wenger later years.

You could get another boss in but would he be able to get these wasters on board and performing? I don't think it's that simple tbh.

zactly

he’s inherited a squad of players, half of which should have been shown the door over the last 2 or 3 years but the board have stupidly held onto them on mega wages and now no **** wants to buy them.

thankfully a whole bunch of them will be out of contract this summer so we can torch the deadwood.

the signings Arteta has made have been really good. Partey, Gabriel and Tierney. But yeah he’s gonna need more than one window to sort this mess out.

Seem to remember it taking Klopp a good couple of seasons before he even began to show promise.

You'll just have to take the hit and let them leave on frees imo, and more importantly the chaps who sort these things out should learn a fukin lesson i regards to handing out big, long contracts willy nilly.

Klopp had an almost immediate impact tbh, you could see a change in play style within a few weeks tbf but yes it took him a few windows but he used what he had at the time mainly and gave them all a chance to prove they could stay and be part of what he was trying to do. In some cases I thought this was a mistake but he's turned players like hendo and gini into top class players (to name just 2) I thought hendo was fuking gash like everyone else and I couldn't believe we bought gini from a relegated Newcastle side but look at them now.

I think Arteta will sort it out eventually but the Gooners have to be patient with him and prepare themselves for a Bumpy season this time round.

They will go on a free bro.

And thankfully the muppets who allowed it to happen have also been shown the door.

Only £67m is down to Covid basically EFC rely on regular injections of cash to make up for the fact the clubs spending far outweighs its income .
There’s also a big chunk of stadium costs in there.

Why do you care?

Our total debt is now only £2.3m btw.

Mate I can't sorry... I actually wanted to but your clubs in the relegation battle with mine, so until nufc are safe I just can't.

Can't see you lot going down tbh.

Big Sam rocking up might make it more interesting. Only Sheffield United certainties imo.
 
said it the other day, some of our fans are a ****ing embarrassment. Popping off all over the shop crying like bitches on social media.

yes we’re in a hole atm, but things ain’t that bad, we’re only 12 games in and plenty of time to turn things around.

we just need a couple of goals and the confidence will come flowing back.


Takes a while to change a club philosophy. Would be happy with Arteta at Goodison, has a bright future as a coach/manager. Gerrard, Lampard etc didn’t get it right straight away, if boardroom is sorted and he is backed to get rid of the dross and bring in players like Partey then he will take them back to top.
