Bielsa is a great example of not needing to speak the language to get your point across. As long as they have someone that can translate well. You need the players to make the effort though..

I know one of the lads who does a Leeds Podcast and he said that as soon as the cameras have stopped rolling Bielsa speaks very VERY good English. Might be a confidence thing or it might just stop him having to answer questions. The players seem to understand him well enough.

Poch will get to choose his next club. Why would he want to go to Arsenal. Spurs are in a better place than them for the future.
You say that like Spurs have a load of youth coming through, they don't. Arsenal have the better kids for the future.

I am talking about financial clout. They have one of the best stadiums in the country and have been in the champions league 4 out of the past 5 years and have a lot of really good young players to build around. Arguably all of Arsenal's decent first team players are 30+.
What podcast is that?

Financial clout but Arsenal still outspend them
Token players. Spurs are in a different situation because of their stadium build but are in a far better place for the future at this moment in time. Their squad is far better currently though.
They wont be after Jose

You can laugh when this group gets the next manager the sack.
Which group would that be exactly?? Surely it won’t be as laughable when Mou gets the sack from Spurs at some point.

Wonder who Freddie will have as his assistant? Maybe it's time the club offered Tony Adams a role at the club!
Heard he can only do the job for 12 weeks?? Thought he had his full coaching badge??

Yeah I read that earlier, if it's true then maybe they could apply for special dispensation.
Who knows but honestly speaking if Freddie gets off to a flying start then that’s great but I’d rather not make the mistake of giving him a long term contract like Utd has done with Ole.
A great Captain he was, but Tony Adams shouldn't be near Arsenal in a coaching capacity.
As for Emery, it was inevitable, there were just too many alarming signs in this situation. Not just the results or atrocious level of football, but lack of willingness to adapt: e.g the constant need to play out from the back despite getting caught out every game and without the personnel to play that way. For years we have had a group(s) of players only too willing to shoot themselves in the kneecap, and far from alleviating this collective malaise, Emery augmented it. He implemented none of the verve of his Sevilla side, didn't seem able to get his ideas across and proved to be the wrong man for the task.

Maybe not as an assistant, but it's hard to believe the club can't find a role for Tony at the club.
The Currant Bun is suggesting Freddie might call in Gilberto to help out.
