I think Frank let the cat out of the bag with his comments about copying the goons (when they gave Arteta time) with his press conference comments prior to that match.
I've said it before, the situation with Arteta ie a rookie manager getting so much time whilst failing, and later being successful is an anomaly, and our club ought not be using that as a pathway to success.
Both Ferguson and Klopp did very well with their previous clubs to warrant being given such time at United and Liverpool. Arteta did fuck all previously to warrant more time and the situation with them, is a complete one off that we're bizarrely trying to emulate.
Was massive for Arteta having his worst period during covid. No fans to boo him every week. Was easier to block out the noise a persist.The Goons were not in the mess we were in ,sure they were well off winning the title but no fear of relegation and Arteta did win a cup plus they invested in good players and then some until they got the right mix and look at them now .If our owners didn't bite the bullet when we were almost there under Poch they never will ,that much is clear .To be successful obviously you buy good players not might be good .
Of course they do because it's the board who are the actual problem.
ENIC are not and have never been ambitious. They never will be.

If we can't compete with the Top 4 that's on ENIC.
If we can't compete with Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham and are tussling in the bottom half with Everton and West Ham then that's on the manager.
Can't say fairer than that.
It’s for his long throw …….IMO, he is playing a back three to accommodate Danso, for reasons unknown.
He had Deki, Son, Maddison and Solanke, though. Swings and roundaboutsHe has 3 more points. Ange had no Micky or Romero from November to February.
MW 25 last season Ange had 30 points.
Let’s do this again after we’ve played City and United.
Fwank has bought replacements for those threeHe had Deki, Son, Maddison and Solanke, though. Swings and roundabouts
Signed kudus Simons and gallagher and had a fully fit VDV and Romero all season? Frank has had a far better deck of cards than Ange ever had.He had Deki, Son, Maddison and Solanke, though. Swings and roundabouts
Spurs did this to themselves you can't go down the ladder to Frank and Postecoglou from Antonio Conte and try to convince people you are ambitious. Its going from shopping at Fortnum and Masons to shopping at Aldi. We have to think about a interim coach to get us to the summer, then we have get the best manager available absolutely top level. Then look to an experience D.O.F.
"Fwank" (very clever by the way) isn't responsible for signing players. You can blame Frank for lots of things but our recruitment is not one of them.
This is funny. ENIC are pissing on us all and we're arguing about which manager received more piss.Signed kudus Simons and gallagher and had a fully fit VDV and Romero all season? Frank has had a far better deck of cards than Ange ever had.
Ange had 3 months of Forster in goal with Gray at centre back when we were competing in 4 competitions at once

Yup. Low block and time waist then have a counter attack plan. Few long throws.Didn’t Frank used to do well against the Top 6 when at Brentford? Maybe that’s the thinking in keeping him for Feb….![]()
