As part of it they said that most managers would be able to get Arsenal in to the top 4, and considering the team they've got I'd be inclined to agree. So if most managers could do it then what exactly is he doing above that? Nothing! |
Yes, he is. You have to factor in a lot more things because 4-7 seasons ago, they weren't that good. The players Arsenal had weren't world class, internationals but not the best, they have 2 now so yes they should be doing better but so should Mourinho with a team that won the league last year. Liverpool have spent more than Arsenal by a long way over the years and other thn one random Champions League win, they've only finished above them once.
Table of 10 years (as of 03 so Chelski time) of money spent per season, the amount of money Arsenal got from sales shows a sign of how the club/board were cashing in on players while not spending to replace them yet he still finsihed enough to get into the Champions league.
In reality we will never know unless he leaves and goes to another club before retirement. I personally think he should have left after the FA cup win after the trophy drought and left someone else have a go then. Leave on somewhat of a high. Him leaving could cause a Fergie like void however, where the new managers haven't done as well as they should have.
Hmm, pie.
