The Manager Merry-go-Round

This sacking may just force United’s hand imo

Thank fu** for that

[Shoei]

It'll be Arteta.

 

[jod23]

Interesting timing. Are they trying to get a head start on Poch.

 

[Bradesmaen]

It'll be Arteta.

He's going to Everton.

Needs to be someone who will come in and “do a Lampard”. The transfer ban did play a part in that of course.. but someone needs to come in and clear the place out. Ozil, Mustafi, Luiz, Xhaka, Socratis have got to go. Build around Guendouzi, Pepe, Tierney, Willock, Nelson etc

Maybe instead of spending 77m (in installments) on Pepe who they didn't need instead of a quality defender..

If you knew anything about Poch you’d know the Arsenal job is a non-starter. This is the guy who won’t manage Barcelona because of his ties to Espanyol. His bond with spurs is deeper than that, and it’s a bond with the fans rather than with the chairman.

Whoever comes in has to find a way to play all (or at least two) of Aubameyang, Lacazette and Pepe. While not being overrun in midfield and exposing a poor defence.

Was Emery’s undoing in some ways. A manager who likes using 4-2-3-1 needing to play systems with two up top to get their star pair on the field but not sacrifice in the middle. Xhaka, Guendouzi, Torreira is a weak CM grouping to pick from.

Arsenal had no wide players. Arsenal needed both.

Was he really that unaware?

Was he really that unaware?

Considering all the sounds were that the board had "complete confidence" in him going forward I wouldn't put it past our coward ownership to whisper sweet nothings in his ear then blindside him.

How bad did he fall out with Levy though? Mou did state that he would never manage Spurs back in his first Chelsea stint.

Rafa must be tempted by the Arsenal job...

Pochettino: I'd rather work on a farm than at Arsenal

Mauricio Pochettino says he would rather work on his farm in Argentina than manage Arsenal, and says he’s currently working as if he’ll be at Tottenham forever. The Spurs boss marked five years as a Premier League manager when he returned to former club Southampton last weekend, and his rise to...

Sounded pretty convincing last year

Doesn’t matter how he feels about Levy, he’s a rare breed that develops strong emotional ties with clubs he manages. It’s not impossible that he goes to Arsenal but I don’t see it happening. The allure is that he wouldn’t have to uproot but I don’t get the impression that uprooting is a bone of contention for him.

Would take him but might be too expensive.

He sounds like he wants some PL action in his recent interviews. Arsenal wont pay him Chinese wages but surely he must expect that to be the case if he returned to the PL.

Benitez would most likely turn the ship around, miles ahead of emery, worked miracles at newcastle really

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Not sure this is a job I’d be running out to take. I guess there is only so many chances to manage a big six club though. Problems run a whole lot deeper than the manager.

Arteta has got to be a good chance.

 

[Zidane98]

Mou vs Rafa Norf London style could be lots of fun

AFTV was just getting good again
