Would a Bergkamp/Adams get free reign if in charge?

[Percy Dalton]

I can see Grimandi having a large role if Mr Knows moves upstairs into some kind of demi-god position.

He very much seems to be the trusted lieutenant!

Why is Tony Adams always trumpted as a good candidate to replace Wenger?



The man is a legend as a player but his managerial 'career' has seen him fail time and again and frankly the man now seems as mad as a box of frogs.

I am sure Adams would instill some of the Arsenal traditions into the players that have been lost over recent years but can you really see Tony Adams taking the club forward?

Quite the contrary. In this interview with the Guaridan he comes across as a man who knows what he wants to do and has a decent plan on achieving it.

I am sure he had decent plans at Portsmouth and Wycombe too and also appeared very knowledgeable in the written press.

Didn't do him a lot of good though hey!

Not sure it's fair to totally define the guy's capacity to be a good manager just on what he did in those two jobs. It was hardly great conditions in which to start off his managerial career as both were far from stable clubs when he was in charge. Maybe with time and better players at his disposal - and no matter how shite we may be, we can definitely offer him that - he would have more success?

I do however agree that he could at the very least be an asset as a number 2 and perhaps do a similar job to the he did as Harry's assistant/defensive coach at Pompey.

I understand what you are saying Hlebby but you can counter that by saying if Weger was to be sacked whilst all this takeover nonsense is going on Arsenal could not be called a stable club either.

I would also say that while yes he would be working with vastly superior players he would also be working in a vaster superior league.

Sorry, but for me Adams is a complete no go!

Maybe his refusal to attend the last game at Highbury influences my thoughts slightly but I am sorry Adams in charge would be madness!

Dragan Stoikovich with Cygan as number 2 and Silvestre as defensive coach please. Grimandi as director of football too thanks.

I'm not sure you can compare the situation of Arsenal, if Arsene was to get sacked, with that of Pompey's. Pompey faced administration and a real threat of being relegated and uncertainty about it's future. Arsenal couldn't be further away from that.

Whether Adams can prove to be a succesful manager or not i have no idea, but from his comments he certianly seems to have learnt from his managerial spells in England and has taken the right step in moving abroad to gain the managerial know-how without the pressure that exists here, and to come back when he is ready. It is also nice to know that managing Arsenal is his ultimate ambition so best of luck to him.

P.S good to see babacunte trying to ruin yet another thread

I was very surprised he wasn't there, you say he refused.
Any more background on that?

He did not refuse to attend.

He explained that he was unable to attend because he was working with Portsmouth that day.
