Well that's unfortunate. Still, with his record of always being in the top 4, surely he must have quite the collection of European trophies?

If you don't at least acknowledge what he brought to arsenal, an everton-tier club before his arrival, you literally don't know shit about football. Luck really has never been on his side, and he's still done amazing things for his club. Almost every club in the world would still kill for his management. He and Fergie made the PL, impressive on his part considering old red nose was managing the biggest club in england from the very start. And I say all this as someone who grew up in Liverpool and has supported everton my whole life

fuck off stupid mick, if you don't think united are the biggest club in england, or at least were from the time fergie took the reigns until he retired, you're a complete mong. Their pockets were always deeper than everyone's until the oil billionaires came along

They have more important trophies than Manure, who only manages to catch up with Mickey Mouse domestic Cups. Manure is still 2 CLs away from being the biggest club in england, and everyone who's not a paki manure bangwagoner knows this.

>Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are bigger clubs than Arsenal
Historically, hell yes they are. Call me when Wonga wins a couple CLs.

It's not just about having trophies, though. Aston Villa, Everton, and Sunderland all have more league titles than Chelsea, could you honestly say that any of them are bigger than Chelsea?

Liverpool is still a big club (2nd or 3rd-biggest out of the Premier League teams imo), but that's because they have millions of fans all over the world.
>>

Liverpool have not been relevant for 25+ years........how can people seriously still believe they are a big club!? It's just fucking mind boggling.

>Liverpool have not been relevant for 25+ years........how can people seriously still believe they are a big club!? It's just fucking mind boggling.

Liverpool were relevant up until about 5 years ago tbf. They won the CL in 2005, appeared in another final in 2007, a semifinal in 2008, they were one of the highest-ranked teams in Europe up until 2010 when their finances went to shit. And you could argue that they briefly became relevant again in 2013/14. And they're still extremely popular, so they're relevant in the sense that a lot of people care about the team, even though they're kind of mediocre on the field. They're kind of the Dallas Cowboys of soccer.
>>
>>64238357

Well according to forest-are-bigger-than-arsenal hueshit in this thread being popular is irrelevant.

Liverpool have one fluke victory in the CL in 25 years and little else, that's not the stuff a big club is made of.
>>
>>64238316
>>64238326

Completely irrelevant. Arselel has been one of the top 10 richest clubs in the world for the past 20 years and they've done jackshit with it.

Ferguson led a top-2 richest club for 25 years all he had to show for it were 2 CLs decided by luck and a massive dip in trophies as soon as teams other than Arselel became financially competitive.

You bet your ass Aston Villa and NottForest are bigger than Arselel. There's no point being a supposed "strong" team if all you do is get 4th place and underperform in continental competitions. Loser mentality.

They literally are.

They were relevant for a grand total of like 5 years and they won more worthwhile trophies than Arselel in its entire history.

Sure they've turned to shit since, but they trophy cabinet still is more impressive than Arselel, and that's all that matters.

By the way, under the same standards, Urgay > England.

It wasn't "one fluke victory", they won the whole thing.

That just shows how deluded you are.

There are Nigerian and Chinese teams with literally tens of millions of casual supporters.

Despite how empty the Emptyhad is, Shitty has many more fans now than they used to 10 years ago. Yet until they win some CLs to back-up all that financial power they'll remain a shitty plastic team no matter how many fans they have in Saudi Arabia and UAE.

>It wasn't "one fluke victory", they won the whole thing.

ok even if I accept that it wasn't a fluke victory and that they didn't have a ludicrously easy run to the final in what is essentially a knockout tournament, 1 decent trophy in 25 years does not a big club make

Guangzhou Evergrande, FC Goa, TP Mazembe. To say nothing of the couple Mexican teams with over 10 million supporters.

Even Flamengo and Corinthians here have circa 30m domestic fans. Most of our relevant teams have fanbases bigger than small european countries.

The opposite is true: there are great, historic and traditional teams from smaller cities. PSV, Valencia, Porto, etc.

This whole "a club's greatness is measured by quantity of fans" is such a stupid, plastic, american "soccer" bandwagoner thing to say.

You know, the kind who just started watching the EPLel 2 years ago and thinks Manure/Arsenal are great because they're rich and have a lot of fans in Pakistan and SE Asia.

Quite the opposite, all I've said is that history matters and Arselel has none, therefore they're just a meme, underachieving club.

You're confusing assets, land and buildings/stadium owned with actual money to spend. It's only the past few years Arsenal have been able to spend biggish money on players and wages

Mou won a CL with fucking Porto that at the time had like 50% of the Arsenal Budget. He also won a CL with Inter with probably the same Arsenal budget. Klopp won 2 leagues against a team with 10x budget and got a CL final. Simeone won his league against Barca and Madrid and got a CL final too.
