@Contextualiser16-tn8nd What? He evidently has turned the club into title contenders again. He's done a fantastic job. Now it's time to deliver some trophies. Still better than most other clubs in the premier league.

What Simon says at 19:23 about Arteta going to Everton is just not true at all. He has literally done that exact said thing at Arsenal, with different circumstances and financial backing of course, but still the main point stands. I don't think anyone other than Arsenal fans realise how much of rut our club was in when Emery got sacked and Arteta took over. The attendance in Emery's final game tells the story of how truly bad it was at the time. Arteta slowly had to purge out all the bad seeds at the club and has had to set foundations in slowly to completely rebuild the club. I'm not saying Arteta can go to any struggling club in the world and replicate what he's done at Arsenal, but his ultimate mission was to get us back challenging for titles again and he has done that and that itself should be highly regarded.

Another good episode 👍. I’d like to learn more about the priority process in signing new players - is talent the #1 requirement, or work ethic or mental toughness?

Great stuff guys

Brilliant, a longer episode

I think you should be setting proper parameters for "elite coach". A successful coach doesnt necessarily mean an elite one, and sometimes they do go hand in hand. Im my humble opinion i think if a coach has his team in and amongst it consistently and has a real understanding of tactics and a gameplan, and/or can adapt to more expensive opposition, and shows can consistent progression, that would fall under elite.

Fantastic show

Another question is ownership and how it has changed. Clubs who’s owners have other major commitments stretches their hemispheric approach towards their club. In recruitment or commercial services and identity and politics which at times puts the clubs as a mere part of a larger scheme of events

Just like players managers need confidence and there is a fine line between accountability and lack of confidence by the questions put forth. I believe with the modern increase of levels of administrative personnel the management or the coach is the easiest scapegoat. Another point is there is only a handful of clubs who can win the major trophies and if one cannot manage an elite club they are evidently less likely to be an elite manager.

The flaw in Souness' claim that success occurs when decisions are made by 'football people' is that he only considers the cases when the football people are successful - Wenger, Ferguson. He does not consider the times when 'football people' mismanage clubs, buy bad players and bankrupt clubs.

You have to give credit to Arteta, Most of the players he has now weren't "good enough" players to help Arsenal compete, he changed that by getting rid of the so called "best players" at the time in Auba and Ozil and retaining the "not so good" players, look at them now, I say he's the model manager and Coach, am still pissed off about Ramsdale but at this point, let him(Arteta) cook.

If these views get any lower then youtube will demote them. A massive kick in the face for Jordan

Last year 'Arsenal would not challenge City again'. This year; 'Arsenal will win it next year'. Mr 'All or Nothing' Simon.

Its harder to create, then to destroy Its like when kroos is sold by real madrid, or just leaves, real madrid will not have that player that was most important in them winning all these champions leagues all this past decade, since barcelona cycle ended in 2015. Teams are more then just managers, but its upto to managers to understand how football works in terms of humans, and create a situation where there team can compete. The next city manager winning will depend on how he sees the players he has got, and can he redo them in his image of what a team is, and whether he can keep the cycle of winning going, or will it end with who ever that is. Winning cycles have many many factors, and every new generation of humans brings a new way of looking at things, and analysing based on there world view and intelligence.

Does Troy have a constant cold?

This notion that Liverpool hasn't spent money is BS, Net Spend is BS as well.. Liverpool sold Philippe Continho for like £142 million ponds so add that to their Net Spend and so their spending goes up.quite a lot and without that they probably wouldn't have got Alisson or van Dijk and prices now are different to what they were in 2015 so if you are building a team now you ae generally going to more spending that one would started building their team in 2015 and has also sold good players since too so their outgoings is good too.

Ancelotti was more of a Cup manager until fairly recently. 5 of his 6 League titles have come after 2009

This looks like it was recorded in a dungeon. Why is everything so dark and gloomy? It looks depressing but then i listen to Deeney and realize it IS depressing.

Pep overall spend 2.2B Klopp overall spend 2.16B I prefer not to speak.

If a manager has won a domestic league title. (Not a domestic cup) and any European title in their career. They should be classed as elite. That’s a perfect metric for elite manager.

Winning trophies vs who?

Re Player power, and tail wagging the dog. - That is simply down to weak owners. If the Board, say (of the manager) "This is our Manager, we back them 100%" - Then it knee caps this sometimes toxic attitude you see at Clubs. No one is going against Klopp at Liverpool, they'd be gone. No one is going against Guardiola, or Arteta or in the past Wenger or Ferguson. The difference now, is Owners/Boards, do not back the manager.

Put some respect on Zidane's name

Its hard for Sounness despite playing at highest level dont want to give credit to Pep, he is poisonious that cant digest Pep's success, he says player, Pep made the players that run for life on the pitch and i am sure with other manager, city wont have success as much as Pep. SO atleast have a gut to digest the guy is genius, and liverpool have spent when they wanted common now, how players have rejetced City, Virgil, Maguire, De jong, De ligt, ROnaldo, Messi, Jorginho, dmmbele, and more, and look how city ended with Rodri, no body knew him, Dias, talksport Alan braxzil said who is he, benardo, people took him left right and centre for hiscelebration as he was regular player Ake, Stone, Walker totenham did not wanted him, can you belive this... Akanji, Alvarez West ham rejects... and list goes on.... ENgland does not accepts good football, only Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal have right to win , SPent and even their manager wins 2 trophies they are legend... ou guys dont have balls, if pep would have taken this success in Spain or other country he would been in golden words but look in england... if this was not about football i would never watch you guys but my football passion makes me stick to as...holes like you
