a lot of fans would say that wenger's lack of a plan b is what lets this team down. Do you not all feel that pep is the same when pass pass pass X 1000 does not work !?

He's developed an alternative way at Bayern.
Would like to see him in more testing circumstances than he has so far faced.

I would take pep as our manager over le cock every day of the week and twice on a sunday, but I have to say that he wouldn't be one of my top preferred choices - someone, ancelotti and klopp would be preferable and would, in my opinion at least, bring something different to the table instead of the tippy tappy shite that is pissing us all off
One of my mates from work was telling me tonight that it seems to make perfect sense for Wenger to step aside this summer and for Guardiola to take over as he'd be a perfect fit.
Tried to explain to him but don't think he grasped why I was laughing like a lunatic.
I'll be amazed if hes not locked into a huge contract by a club in this country,I feel fairly confident to say that Guardiola will never be an Arsenal manager,I just dont see it happening,

I think if United is an option he'll go there. The fans will give him support and massively buy in to what will be badged the Guardiola project. Three years of shite managers playing shite football have dulled expectations to a falsely low level, added to which he will get as big a budget as he would at City or Chelsea. He will be absolutely adored there and backed to the hilt by the fans and board alike.
City would jump at the chance but what really is he going to do there? They will in all likelihood have won 3 titles in 5 seasons and be expected to do at least that going forward. They have 2 absolutely class players in Aguero and Toure (often injured and never bothered respectively) and another quality player at PL level in Silva who will have guided them to all of their trophies but that's about it. Their squad is not just a case of adding one or two shrewd players, they are horrendously unbalanced and the club is just hollow - they have tried to throw away every PL title they've been in contention for and embarrass themselves every year in the CL there. They are light years away from winning the CL whoever takes over there and he is far too conscious of his reputation to take over somewhere with such unrealistic expectations.

Even if Guardiola was a serious contender for the Arsenal job and wanted it above any other English club,I still doubt ego-maniac Wenger would step aside for him with time left on his contract,even for the long term greater good of Arsenal FC and its future,I cannot see Guardiola waiting about for bollock-brain to fuck off

I agree the best solution is Wenger to leave the club completely rather than moving upstairs, but I'd rather he moved upstairs and Pep came in compared to him remaining in charge as he is today.
More chance of plaiting fog than Guardiola pitching up as Arsenal manager.
Prepare yourself for Wenger 'lite' turning up in 2020 when TO1AW finally decides to move on - Stojkovic, Garde, whoever has had a good season in Ligue 1 playing tip tap ?
Whoever gets him, could/should dominate the EPL for many years, like Fergie. But only if he is allowed to run things his way. City wouldnt do that. Nor the chavs, his best bet is Manure, or us! But only if wenker is totally gone. Dont want him interferring from upon high. Thats why its Manure, unless he is a fool and tempted by a big arab pay day. Let see if its money, or football that brings him too theses shores. Both maybe.
