Arsenal fans are always so defensive.
i'm not an arsenal fan.i support swindon town only. apart from not rating the guy as a manager,i dont see what is wrong with what gazza quoted him saying. |

He's right about STFC two years ago, not STFC today. |

tony adams is right about stfc,
and is showing ambition as a manager.
how dare he!!!!
But he's not right though is he? Quite the opposite in fact. It all seems very bitter to me. |

maybe saying "no financial backing" isn't strictly accurate.but the gist of it is perfectly reasonable.i haven't read the whole interview,only what gazza quoted

I'd agree with that, we've sufficient financial backing to achieve mid table mediocrity with a bit of a struggle, but not enough to take us any further. Personally I'm happy enough with that....there's a few our size cluttering up the Conference, and we could easily have gone that way as well. |

Well if you ignore the fact that the fundamental premise on which his argument rests is bollocks, then, erm, yes. |

I suppose insufficient financial backing would have been more accurate...but arriba's argument is sound. |

If that is arriba's argument, maybe. But it wasn't Adams'. And if the argument is supposed to be that spending=success that is just fatuous. You only have to look at Adams' last club, Pompey, to see that. They spent massively under him and 'Arry and look at the shit that's got them in, it may have brought some immediate short-term progress, but long-term it's not sustainable and has proper dropped them in the shit |

THE EXACT QUOTES ARE...
"Swindon are not a producing club.
"a lot of lower league clubs used to be producing but all the academies have put pay to that. So there's no way you can grow your way out of trouble anymore. Theo (Walcott) for instances was a Swindon bouy who was snapped up young by a bigger side."
"I think yo've got to be realistic about the situation. I don’t think Swindon has got a great level of support financially off the pitch"
"If you look at League One I wouldn’t imagine Swindon would be in the top half in terms of salaries paid. So you pretty much year in and year out go where your wage bill is"
"whether its Danny Wilson, Stevie Coppell or Alex Ferguson, it's irrelevant who's in charge of Swindon Football club - you're going to get the same result. No manager and no coach in the world can make gold out of wood its just impossible to do"
