I def can not disagree with that, he is a huge factor thats for sure, he cant fuck off soon enough. Still they have the nous to see they have a quality manager and willing to back him, making sure he is happy, giving him the transfers he wants etc.

The transfers he wants? I'm sure he was gagging to sign Wiljnaldium when Kante and Pogba were avalible. I'm sure he wanted to stick with Karius and Mignolet for two years.

They only "back him" when he has money for sales, he was denied the defender and keeper he needed for years until he got the money in a sale, was given no money last summer and now is made to sign a cheap winger while his rivals are looking at Sancho.

The Liverpool board are nothing special and we saw that in all its glory under Kenny and Brendan, they lucked out on a manager that could even make Mike Ashley look good.

Martinelli looks a real talent. Arsenal with a bit more fitness, intensity and a few good players look like they could be a good side under Arteta. They started poor 1st half but seen enough of then with Arteta to think with more fitness and intensity they could be a good side.

Cant believe someone like Emery who has been an established coach and has a relatively successful career couldnt get a performance out of some of these guys.

That is very true.

Its not as if Alisson or van Dijk were virtually unknown when they signed both either.

A lot of PL teams had been following van Dijk from his time in Scotland and then when he improved again, us, City, United and Liverpool went after him. I still remember Conte pleaing with the other top 6 clubs to not allow City to sign him. And many people said Christensen was better too...... which looking back on it now, is laughable. 

Again Alisson was linked with us and Liverpool among others only when he had established himself at Roma. Youd think they signed him from Brazil the way their board are talked about.

The real gems and severely underrated signings theyve gotten in this last however many years were Mane, Joe Gomez (Rodgers signed), Robertson, Matip (free)... but even with them they werent good enough to win titles. Which the media forget.

When I look at coaches in the present day like Emery, Jose and to an extent Ancelotti it makes me laugh how people want someone with a "proven track record" above anything else.

I would say upcoming managers like Lampard and Arteta are much more suited to big jobs these days than they are.
