Shrews finished 12th last season. I'd say that's probably par for them. Not sure what their expectations are but in a division with Ipswich, Sheff Weds etc I don't think you can really expect them to be much higher than they really were.

Honestly don't know enough about the guy or where he has managed previously to comment either way, but over a 681 game managerial career he has a win % of 53.74% which isn't half bad so we shall see.

I don't know, Spurs are obviously cursed and make a hash of everything, but I think they might have a good one there. Big Wenger vibes in coming via an unusual set of clubs but succeeding everywhere he goes. Can see him doing well if they give him time, at the very least he'll want to be there which is an improvement on their last few managers. |

Time is key. Whilst it’s not exactly the same appointment obviously but a lot of similar things were said about Nuno Espirtio Santos. Ok, so it’s guess work as to whether he would have performed well given more time but that genuinely felt like a decent appointment at the time |

In the Premier league time is something that is very rarely given to managers. Take Arteta at Arsenal, his start there was pretty shaky and he was certainly under pressure, fans were not impressed and wanted him out. But the board kept faith, made some decent signings and they've flourished and had a great season. I think Spurs are going to have to do similar, stick with someone for at least a season to get 'Angeball' properly setup. |

You say... Had a great season, I say... Biggest choke job ever.... Two ways of looking at the same thing I guess... |

If I was an Arsenal fan I would definitely have a feeling of 'what could have been'. Not taking maximum points from Forest and Southampton at home when in a very commanding position and then being very much second best in the game away to Manchester City would have been hugely disappointing. But looking at things more holistically, they hadn't finished as runners up since 15/16. Since then, their league finishes were 5th (Wenger), 6th (Wenger), 5th, (Emery) 8th (Arteta), 8th (Arteta), 5th (Arteta) and then 2nd. (this season) Surprising in a way that after dismissing Emery for finishing 5th they they tolerated consecutive 8th position finishes and then another 5th. Finally it seems to have clicked this year and compared to previous years their points tally is miles better than in previous years. |
