vyelkin posted:Arsenal built a new stadium that put them under financial constraints for about a decade and it seems that decade broke Wenger's brain. He became obsessed with developing youth instead of buying good players, which was understandable when the stadium cost meant they couldn't afford good players but isn't understandable now that they're raking in new-stadium-money. The big problem was Wenger had this dream of a homegrown team of teenagers that grew up together and played fluid football together and won things together for years and years but then when that dream was finally fulfilled it was fulfilled by Barcelona and not him because it turns out he's garbage at developing youth players and the only successful development he ever had was a kid he poached from Barcelona because English laws allowed him to offer professional contracts before Barcelona could. But his decade-long obsession with spending no money and building a fluid passing team of French teenagers meant he no longer understands how the transfer market works and no longer understands how football tactics work, which means his team are inept at signing players, inept at negotiating with players they've already signed, and inept at adapting to other teams tactically. Also they have bad American owners so they're just generally a big fail club from top to bottom. This is spot on really. I would also argue that Eduardo breaking his leg really hosed Arsenal up more than it should have and really ramped up the "buying French teenagers" thing since there was no immediate replacement.

wicka posted:They're already spending themselves into debt just making movies and TV shows. More likely the league will just stream directly to viewers, which is something even F1 (the most rear end-backwards sport in the world) is considering. Yeah but F1 just switched ownership. I know that there are many people that would happily pay a decent amount of money for reliable, official streams from the league that are accessible world wide. WRC does this and it's great, doesn't MotoGP as well?
