The squad is unbalanced (although I think that's a charitable word to use). It's simply not good enough for where you think you should be. So the manager isn't the problem then on that basis.
You've got an owner who couldn't give a shit and won't spend the money you need to spend just to keep up, let alone win anything. Even your chairman says he's left out of the decision making process and is considering quitting while the only director under 70 is Stan Kroenke's son. It's a mess and no one can possibly succeed there without guarantees of time and money. and even then it's not a given.
Kevin De Bruyne: “You want to grow as a head coach. If he doesn’t, it’s his decision, but why, otherwise, start coaching in that way? Whatever he wants to do, you have to do it. If you want to grow, you need to take opportunities when they come." [via @MirrorFootball]
Hope this gets sorted one way or another this week or it'll be a distraction
Both him and pep were grilled after the game,they have to say something,it'll make no difference what he saysI think KDB should focus on his football and not comment on these things. Arteta's departure could be a serious blow for us because I believe the management sees him as the man to replace Pep when the day comes. He is as close as you get to a Guardiola-styled coach, the one that understands our football philosophy probably better than most coaches in the world. Just imagine the things he learned over the years by studying Pep up-close. For me, Arteta is the man to lead Man City when Pep is done here. He is our future. And here comes the fkng gunners and steal him away? It pisses me off. I consider this a major blow. It's not the same as when Dominic Torrent left.
LolThe S*n never fail to disappoint
Not only is he 100% going... he's taking Sane and Foden with him
