Your choice as manager/Arteta Merged thread

Pardew available!! Doesn’t matter who we get , Wenger going is what’s important

[Nos89]

Ancellotti has to be our number 1 candidate. Two years to tidy up then move for the best young coach available. I'm not sure we're ready for a long term manager straight away.

[Gunner Rob]

Wenger has a contract for another year - who knows who might be available this time next year.

I agree to get in a new permanent coach straight away would be a bit like the debacle that happened when rednose fuckked off and Gollum took over at manure. There is a HUGE amount of work to be done both in the training ground/academy and on the pitch - the backroom staff etc etc. Wenger has truly fuckked us over with his despotic attitude and archaic ideas...so I would go with Ancelotti for 2 years, he'd sort a lot of the Damage done by ElCunto and his insistence on hanging on for dear life...then while those 2 years under Ancelotti are going on - Do some serious palm greasing and line up the best available young coach we can find, then at the end of that 2 years, as someone rightly said bring the new Pep (whomever that might be) in...

ps; I also fear that even when ElCuntowenger is gone - He will still insist on hvaing his say in the press and do all he can to spoil what any new manager is trying to achieve - All becaus ehe 'Loves' the club of course. The evil, bitter, twisted C.U.N.T

What happened to Rijkard?

After Barca he just disappeared. I have read only good things about him from the Barcelona players who played under him.
Thought he would take a years sabbatical and go on to great things with another European giant.

And the man of honour always honours his contracts we could call to 8th and get rimmed by Moscow and he will still be here next year(and probably beyond)

I know mate it is so depressing.

Think he went back to Holland and nearly got relegated. A case of a great coach working with average players who couldn't play to his level.
Anyway, after breaking Real Madrid's monopoly on the league and European Cup, nothing else to prove.

I dont want a former player (Henry, Vieira, Arteta), nor do I want a carbon copy of Wenger (Martinez, Rodgers, Howe, Luis Enrique).

A clean break for this club would just usher in a new dawn. Overnight - the club would be reborn, the fans energized and the toxic atmosphere would go.

Personally I would be ok with PV4 getting the job - he wouldnt be my first choice by any means, but he has managerial experience and does now what the club used to be and would endevour to return it to what it was.

I would also add luis enrique to your "similar manager" list - we dont need another nicey, nicey pussy in charge, and I dont see enrique have the mindset or the presence to dish out a few bollockings when needed

Its funny, I watched '89' for the first time the other evening and was listening to some of the player interviews talking about the early days when GG joined and how he wasted no time setting about the 'big names' who'd been at the club but were seen to be playing for themselves rather than the team - Sansom, Nicholas, Rix, Woodcock etc. There had been a malaise over the club ever since I started supporting in the late 70s throughout the early to mid 80s.....years of underachievement and a cosy club of under performing 'star' players. My assessment is that the current state is much the same as those days. You look at some of the players in the team and think its just all got too comfortable. Ferguson was all over Ramsey when he was 16/17 and now 10 years later, the bloke is a '1 in every 10 games' big time charlie. Ozil plays when he decides to, and he's not alone. They proved by beating City and the Chavs en route to winning the cup last year, and again beating the Scum this year.....they can do it when they choose.....it just doesn't matter enough to put themselves out to do it more often, and there's no consequence of failure. Merson said in the DVD how he took the piss in training once and found himself out in the cold with GG for weeks. Imagine that happening with TO1AW ?

I agree with you both - when C.untslop moves on the change needs to be a marked one, and he should have absolutely zero role to play in the club moving forward and least of all choosing his successor.

Someone needs to come in with an entirely different mindset and hang a few of these underachievers out to dry

If someone did that, I'd settle for a year of mid table mediocrity for the greater long term good

Sean Dyche then?

Would suit me down to the ground, but will never happen in the era of the modern day football snob who will cite his "lack of European experience". Of course it would be better to get the Nice manager who has 1 year of European football experience, or stick with the bloke who has 30 years of it but has managed to fuck it up every year in that period.

I remember when we beat Parma thinking.....if only we'd gone for a manager with huge European experience. Ahhh...but "football's changed" hasn't it

Nice are seventh in France and challenging for the ropey cup so I'd say he would fit Stan's ambitions perfectly
