And if I want a player to get injured it's usually because hes shit, whilst I wasn't glad that Ramsey was injured yesterday it would be wrong to think I was in some way sad about it.
I disagree. It's not about Champions League football. It's more so about ambition and infrastructure. What are you working towards and will you support the managers ambition. Klopp, Mourinho and Conte won' be in the Champions League this year. That didn't stop them from going there. They didn't apply for jobs with Spurs and Leicester just because they qualified.

The biggest thing this club has going for it is that we support our manager. We're not trigger happy and have allowed Wenger to get on with things uninterrupted. That has to be a huge draw for any manager. Plus our record is so shit a new manager comes in with a chance to propel this club to a new level.

What's holding us back is the lack of spending. The appearance of lacking ambition. If that reputation stays with us people potential managers get a whiff of that when they visit the Emirates, we're screwed even if we have Champions League football.
