I just spent 45 mins looking through old threads.

Goonersweb used to be hilarious.

Your face still is.

So's your face.

This is true. Not just anyone can come in, thats just churlish. I remember Owen Coyle being continually linked, and look where he is (I have no idea actually, but it isnt anywhere decent).
This is my watershed season, the one thats broken me and I would like a change of manager, but the other part of me is thinking who can do a job that at the very least gets us to challenge right to the very end of the season, and gets us to semi/final of CL, or else whats the point in changing? Because we are not far from being there, it just needs a few tweaks in playing staff and tactics. Something that wenger doesnt seem to be able to prise out of the players, that last little bit, to make us great.

Aye, that's the frustrating thing. We're really not a million miles away. Just last season we finished 3rd and won the FA Cup, it's not a bad season to push on from. We just need someone who can push us that last bit. I hoped that Wenger could do it but it's increasingly clear he can't.

Actually we are a million miles away. Do you see us challenging for the CL with the squad we have? We aren't close. We aren't a million miles away from winning the PL because frankly, it's shite. Just one small change required and we all know what that is.

The Owen Coyle thing was a joke, btw.

Until now, that is.

I think if we had a top CF this season we would have won the league. With a top CF and top CDM we could have been closer to the CL. But the manager also needs a change at the same time, to get the best from what we have and the players we are missing.

Yep, we've been a million miles away for a while now because we always go into the season unprepared and needing x, y or z.

We've been discussing the "we need a new player in a insert position" for about 5 years now and for every position we fill a new one crops up that needs upgrading. It's a never ending issue.
