How can we be crying sign sign and when they sign we say it's too expensive?

With our current situation, we CANNOT sign Maddison or any elite player. PSG got Messi for free, but even if we pay 100m Messi won't join us. That's the situation we are in. We are not in CL for Fks sake, and clubs are ready to cash in on our plan to rebuild and get back. So if we see a fairly decent player we should be willing to sacrifice and hope things work out and stop whining about the fee.

False!!
But lemme wait for transfer window closure first.

Duff my hat to you on this. Precisely succinct!

Every serious organisation has what we call hierarchical structure. I am certain Arsenal has one. The authority down the ladder is meant to be respected from bottom up without question, yes the respect is binding, and no, it is not only when it is earned. The coach is damm high on the ladder than the players. Any attempt to encourage those at the bottom of the ladder to disrespect those on top of the ladder is a call for Anarchy.... A total break down of law and order. Business/Football Organisational management is not a military arrangement, but it is not a democracy either or a lawless Banana Republic. If you cannot abide by an organisation rules and order, you simply resign and leave. Even a voluntary organisation has rules of engagement and disengagement that must be followed by members.

Does that mean everyone on top hierarchy is good and qualified to be there? NO. Most organisation have ways of getting feedback and performance rating of their managers. It is even so easy to get in an organisation like Arsenal. The results are out every week. Also every organisation has channels of addressing grievances.... call for Anarchy is not one of them.

We must learn to separate Arteta's character and competence from the position he occupies. Yes he appears incompetent and has character problem... but as long as he occupies that office, no player should disrespect him or publicly criticize him, it is unprofessional. Even Arteta's employer will not do that.

So how can Arteta be checked and questioned? The board that employs him who are higher in authority can receive complaints about him, query him and sack him when necessary.

This is the way management works...and this is elementary management theory.

Well put. Absolutely precise!

Jodera:
Lol... Na today be the last day ooo. No lead and nothing. Even the Rb ish I just read is not available cos dem no fit drop 10m more.

You see that bolded, I will answer you on that after the transfer window closes

While you're right, you're not absolutely right.

Willian and Nelson out, no winger replacement so we are left with Pepe and Saka as the only natural wingers with Rowe and Auba as alternatives..... okay ohhhh Edu and Arteta weldone ohhhh.


People that hate arsenal that call themselves legend plenty sha

My brother I don't think anyone disagrees with this your point, and definitely not Roland. But I also believe you will agree that despite the unwritten rule of respect and professionalism, every individual leader also has a role to play to earn (or to deserve) the respect.

Based on the feedbacks we are getting, Arteta needs to do more than he is doing right now.

Perhaps the squad is too big and low in quality, which makes selection criteria difficult to maintain. However, we hope that as the squad is gradually trimmed down, such processes will be clear to all and sundry. So that all the constant bickering will stop.

I agree with you on Arteta and your squad assessment... and I dont think I ever consider Arteta's character and performance as being above average.

Also I understand this natural leader (born leader) concept, the one that becomes a leader by earning the respect of others, that is good when we are looking for a community or voluntary association leader. But corporate organisation works by rules and regulation. The office is higher than personality occupying it. Yes it is an added advantage if you are a manager and also a natural leader... But even without the leadership gift, the office must be respected and all must follow organisation rules and regulations.

And even at that, if you bring out 100 leaders, you might still get 100 different leadership styles. And we cannot even say that a particular leadership style is better than another. In certain settings like Military, Autocratic or Authoritarian leadership works better, while
Democratic or Participative leadership works better in other settings. The Laissez-faire or Free-rein leadership is not meant for many cooperate organisation. Also a leadership style that works in one organisation might fail woefully in another. So what justifies a particular leadership style is the successful result that comes after.

No one would have had problem with Arteta's leadership style even with his big ego and character if he knows what he is doing and he is successful. There are other managers with bigger ego, but they know what they are doing and no one is calling for their sack. But we know Arteta is failing, so we need a change... And I am making that call for a change too.

My difference with Roland is that he believes players should be free to express themselves as they wish, which I partly agree with but don't fully agree to. You can complain to your manager on all issues and if no result, express yourself and manager's failure to the board that hired him.... But openly criticizing your boss/manager or giving him attitude of disrespect is unprofessional. For that he thinks I am defending Arteta's actions "with my life experience", which is not true. While we give Arteta stick for his bad choices and failure, we should not also support players' insubordination, disrespect and unprofessional conduct. We must separate the two.

Una jez dey disrupt tw left and right ...... na una be mvp of dis tw

I think you and Roland have the same ideas but coming from different directions. My former boss once told me that as you grow higher in the management cadre, personal relationship becomes more important than technical ability. At a point in management, the way you treat your subordinate becomes more important than how good you are in the job. That's because you will no longer be doing those direct jobs but rather supervising.

Roland17 believes that Arteta's treatment of the players may have warranted their public criticism. While that is not an excuse for insubordination, (which he - Roland accepts) the manager's contributions towards that should also be questioned.

We all remember when Jose publicly criticised his players and was sacked at Chelsea, Man Utd and even Tottenham.

The bold is exactly the point. It is not an acceptable conduct, it is very unprofessional. No matter the frustration and provocation, that is a No-Go area either from the board or manager or the player to openly criticize each other. Our anger with Arteta should not blind us to right and wrong conduct from players.
