Aye, spot on.
Why would Klopp come to either of us. It's a step down in all respects.
And we'd be stupid to sack Brendan, he's a good coach, we're just in a shit moment. It happens.
Football's rubbish but so be it.
Even Liverpool and Arsenal are a step up from the German 2nd division.
The guy just doesn't stop running. One of the greatest buys. Having him, Aguero and Messi take their form to the Copa America in the summer will be jokes.
I could see him going to Arsenal or Liverpool. Big clubs, a lot of history, money, new challenge.

How do we act towards Wenger? All we did was support and support him, but then it is clear he is taking the piss now. Wenger deserves to get slack because he thinks he is bigger than the club. Are fans continue everyweek to show up paying the highest prices in world football to watch a team that has been making the same mistakes for god knows how long now. I am surprised there hasnt been a full on riot yet.
I don't know how Arsenal are a step down. The biggest club in the biggest city in Europe, world class stadium and training facilities, one of the best supported clubs in the world, a board that backs a manager, and very good finances. Arsenal are a great club for any manager to want to come to. We also are willing to pay are manager extremely well.
Shanks pls
I was more concerned with the biggest club.
That's really mindblowing at times.
Klopp get's his fair share of blame, for example the tactics today we're absolutely rubbish.
The problem is the team or some players that just need to get their shit together.
They are to blame, so the criticism is alot more balanced overall.
Plus the fans know that constant whistling isn't going to help either way, so they'll support the team regardless.
Sorry the lack of effort today just pissed me off.
I was as loud as Dean when he is playing proclubs.
PASS THE BALL MATE.

Chelsea?

Chelsea might have won more in the last ten years, but Arsenal have always been the best supported club from the capital. Chelsea are not even as big as Spurs
Name a bigger city in Europe

What metric are you using Shanks? Population?
You are in London. That's the only thing he listed that applies to Chelsea.
Good finances if you consider being financed by oil good.
Istanbul
And this fucking big club nonsense
At the moment, Chelsea are better, more successful, and have a better chance of being successful in the future.
That alone makes them 'bigger' than Arsenal.

London has one of the biggest populations in Europe, is one of the richest and most affluent, and one of the most important.
It is amazing that London supports as many good clubs as it does. Most other cities can only boast two clubs at most.
Does this mean City AREN'T massive?
It means they're currently the second biggest club in the country because they're the club with the second biggest chance of success
Answer my question m8

The ability to win does not make a club big. Just read the great piece on Roma by Marcotti. Arsenal are a big and well supported club regardless of if we win or lose. Same with United when hey went through 2 odd decades of being shit. Chelsea and Man City are not big clubs. They spend lots of money and have done well, but if they were both to go a decade without winning then nobody would give a fuck about hem again. They are only products of large amounts of money being spent to win.

For the record I've always interpreted "biggest" club as one with the most revenue and overall $ value. They are businesses, after all.

Bullshit but believe what you will, it might make it feel like Roma and Arsenal are competing for something.

Why bullshit? Yes Chelsea are more successful over the last ten years. That only goes to show that you have won more than us over the last ten year. If a club can only be considered big because they have won a lot shows they are not a big club. Arsenal have 200,000 people paying 30 quid a year just to get a chance to watch Arsenal, we still sell out nearly every game and this is despite not winning anything except an FA cup in ten years. Despite not winning anything we still have secured two of the biggest sponsorship deals in history.
Chelsea reached a level of success that Arsenal have yet to achieve by winning the champions league, but would people still give a fuck about Chelsea if they went a decade without winning?
As that Marcotti article said, Roma still draw 700,000 radio listeners a day. That is despite being a small club in terms of success on the pitch.

Lol true.
Although it is a stupid value. If Roman was gonna sell Chelsea it would likely be for over a billion.

London is the most populous in he EU and the sixth largest GDP in the world.
Let's not act like London is a small city
I didn't.
this 'big clubs' thing is nonsense talk
anyway Arsenal are a club with a long history, a lot of fans domestic and globally, a new stadium, plenty of sponsorships and investors and im sure that like manchester united, many managers would love to step up and give it a go. either way the fans will be upset, it won't be an easy transition whoever it is and we'll probably dip out of champions league the year it happens. Feel sorry for whoever that is.
