Manager impact is usually not that big unless the previous manager is crazy (Amorim), lose the dressing room (Mou to Ole) or there is is a big shift in philosophy (Lamp to TT, it is hard to do this with this squad).Could Rosenior to Alonso make a similar difference?
I have never been a fan of Maresca but he was fine.

I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with your comment, but in another thread it was said that Romero is a better centreback than Lacroix. And I was just thinking that given how highly rated Alonso is, surely judgement like that should be reserved until he has coached a player for a while. But maybe it actually makes no difference and managers/coaches don't actually do much to transform or improve players.

Actually manager matter more in term of improving player but it is not what most fans want it to be. Player improvement take months or years and it is not linear.
The key with manager is that the gap between them is not big whereas the gap between player is very big.
You give me pep, my expectation for this team doesn't change, you give me prime Messi, I expect us to contend next season.
That is why I am happy that we get Alonso because his leverkusen was interesting but I don't expect magic.

Some people just like to complain. The irony is that the same people complaining here are the same ones that complained we didn’t break bank for Xhaka

Lets grab a bargain! But why, its not our money, who cares what price any player is?
When we move quickly and pitch in with an attractive price we get our man, if we wait and ponder over the price ( like good old Arsenal
) then we dont get the player. I was listening to Ian wright speaking in a very self righteous tone "oh no we will not pay over the odds" oh look Ian thats another player you have missed out on. And the "we ve had our pants pulled down" maybe Blue Co have, but does it matter we got our man?
I remember not so long ago when 10-15 million was a dangerous price you could pick up a lemon very easily. Now thats 40-50 million. Its not our money let Blue Co pay, they can wipe their arse on 50 million - let them.
It really breaks the hearts of other teams supporters when we "overspend" - Fcuk em!
I wouldnt be surprised if Arsenal piss about with Guimares for a while... then whine when we or someone else take him.
I was told he was very cheap at 60 million, not that cheap if you didnt get him. Good Old Arsenal.
