Not sure we have the players for tika taka. I think certain players will struggle to control the ball and make the right passing option.

I dont think the current Bayern team play tiki-taka. He would fit right in here coach the clumsiness out of wasters like Ramsey, Walcott, Ox and Wilshere(when available)
New financial figures came out today.
We make the most money from matchday in the entire world now - not that surprising considering the price of our tickets. It's more than Real, Barca, Bayern and Utd!

Yet we're only 7th in total revenue because our sponsorship deals pale in comparison to theirs!! They're better than they used to be but it's still not enough. We're behind Liverpool ffs in commercial revenue despite having been more successful than them for two decades now and having comparable global fanbases (if not ours greater now).
For one, I don't understand why we don't have an exclusive training kit sponsor - that could be at least another 10 million a year right there alone. We really should be leveraging our immense global popularity a lot more by signing a raft of shithouses sponsorship deals the way United have.
Not that I ever think they would reduce ticket prices but sorting it out could at least fix ticket prices indefinitely (instead of increasing them every other year).
You think he has the patience to coach technique into these players that fall short of his philosophy? He's used to just shipping out the wasters and buying a replacement. I'm not sure he'd stick around long enough to get the required results from such players or we'r we'd even have the funds to support him. One thing I don't what is a short term coach looking to stroke an English league and trophy off his checklist and then move on. We can't afford a coach that's looking to burn up our resources and then jump ship.Quote:

at least a half way house measure, none of this 2-3 year cycle ...at least a 5-10 year coachQuote:

Provided things don't go fully tits up at Pool, I expect Klopp to last between 5 - 10 years as well.
Probably Pardew as well.
But yep, Maccy's right. The days of Wenger and Fergie building dynasties at a club for 20+ years are long gone.
We don't and shouldn't manage our clubs like the super minted clubs out there that are trigger happy. We shouldn't get sucked into thinking managers don't want stability and trophy whores like Pep and José are the standard. Not impressed with how Pep has announced that he's leaving Bayern mid season and invited a bidding war for his services. Plus creating uncertainty at other clubs. Fuck him. I agree with Wenger's comments on this one.
He hasn't even surpassed the previous managers record or elevated Bayern beyond that level. I won't cry if he doesn't come here and I think we should avoid him unless he states he wants to build a legacy and stay for the long haul. Otherwise we shouldn't even entertain the idea.
