Um - Wrath of the Barclay

Um

Arsenal spent millions under their new man, Spurs have spent millions and Man U were on the verge of sacking Fergie and look what happened.

I'm not saying a manager can't turn thingsg around, i'm saying alot of the time he doesn't. Especially at a lower level with no money to spend.
