Parallel Everton 1: What if we'd have appointed Arteta?

[4737carlin]

Never knew we were linked with him 6 or 7 years ago.

Have we ever actually been linked with him? Plenty of knowledgeable fans over the years have said they wanted him, only for no nothing idiots to say no we don't

It’s the whole purpose of this thread you donut.

 

[4737carlin]

Aye, you have to spend it well and bring in the right blend. Of course, is all of that on Arteta or the Arsenal backroom team?

Probably helps Arsenal seem far more stable than us.

Well they didn't let nob'ed Moshiri stick his nose into transfers when he was involved with them

No Bill K to f up a ground move for them either.

Yes, I rather think Arteta was dealt a good hand down there.

Good manager and a top guy, really hope he wins this.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

We would have sacked him

Why go after him as a manager he couldn’t get away fast enough when he was a player at Everton.

This: with a GOT posters face instead of the visionary genius “ForeverLee92”

Part of the problem, fans that are not very clever.

 

[good times bad times]

He would have had a much harder job here trying to reverse the culture of mediocrity than runs downwards from the top of the club.

And like all his predecessors he would probably have failed.

Yes, kept him at arms length until he got frustated and showed up at our place to make an even bigger mess of it all.

 

[Royal]

I don't actually remember us being linked with him either. I don't think he would've done much better, Arsenal at the end of the day have been sitting above us since long before that happened, have more resources and these days a better academy too

I think he would of but one advantage he would have is the fans would instantly get behind him being a good former player, however that wouldn't of saved him in the long run.

 

[roy vernon]

He'd have been sacked in his first year and disappeared back to Spain.

 

[Blue Neon]

Its not so much the manager. Its the money to spend. And we aint got it! We need 5 or 6 £60mill players to compete.

 

[captainvindaloo]

He would have ended up in a rehab clinic, wondering where it had all gone wrong and where his original transfer money had gone.
