Next manager

No to Cholo. #CHOLOFUERA #GraciasPorLosRecuerdosCholoPeroEsHoraDeDespedirnos#MIATLÉTI ()

No, but seriously, why are people so keen to settle for mediocrity? (Putting aside philosophical beliefs, going for Cholo now would be like Madrid choosing Mourinho in 2010 instead of Cholo. If you want a defensive manager, at least advocate someone who’s on the cutting edge or not at the end of his cycle.) It just isn’t a logical approach given our club’s condition.

A point I, Aussie Gooner and others have made many times over, but Powderfinger’s post from the other day bears repeating:

@Powderfinger

We face a competitive disadvantage versus the better resourced clubs so if we ever want to compete for the truly big prizes we need to find some source of competitive advantage. Appointing a younger manager who could have some really good tactical ideas that give us an advantage over opponents and who hopefully can work well some of our younger talents to bring them up a level is the most obvious way to do that. Whether Arteta can do all that is totally uncertain but you can at least imagine it maybe being the case.

I know people like to speculate on worst case scenarios but the reality is that it will be hard for us to fall much further as a club than where we are currently.
