Christ they make so many excuses for them in that article. They have spent roundabout the same amount as City have on signings and wages over the last few years and are no where near our level.

As I keep reminding rags spent 1.4 billion since last winning the title

I never did Latin at school, though I was given the opportunity.

However, I have a 2:1 degree in German and French, obtained at the age of 41!

Sehr Gut; Tres Bon; Muy Bien.

Seems like they are torn in my office, Number one choice is Conte, 2nd is Brenda, third is Zidane and there's quite a few who want Rooney due to his heroics at Derby. There was even a shout for Wenger. They really are clueless and doomed much earlier than I expected. Their season will be over in 3 weeks :)

With the Rags getting Ronaldo in, I can certainly see parallels with what they did with Van Persie.
Get an aging but experienced player in for a final swan song season in an attempt to drag them to a title. It worked spectacularly well for them with Van Pussie that time as he managed to stay injury free and turned games around from losing positions to get a win.
However by GPC using that strategy (including persuading Scholes to play another season) to win his last title, effectively meant that he left the squad needing a complete revamp.
So until now they just seem to spunk vast amounts o cash on high profile star signings, with little thought to team cohesion.
The Rag’s ongoing transition phase with so many false dawns, is a joy to behold. Long may it continue

Yes the GPC was not interested in the long term, just his own personal vanity.
