As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
The next manager will have to be prepared to work on a restricted budget because that's the way KSE works. So it's unlikely that a high reputation candidate will come. We need a motivator. PV4 did it on the pitch. The board claim that they bought Wenger from obscurity, chances are they will do it again.
Dein brought Wenger from obscurity after months years of football conversations that convinced Dein that Wenger had a genuine vision for Arsenal on the pitch. Would you trust these current fuckwits to get this right?
I think PV4 would be a mistake but if it is him then I'll wholeheartedly support him until he proves he is the wrong man.
A good coach can coach discipline and a system into any player. GG built superbly effective winning sides half populated with quite average players that he drilled discipline and systems into. Ramsey under Coleman is a totally different player for Wales than he is under Wenger for Arsenal. What a coach cannot do is turn an average or poor player into a world beater but they can certainly drill football discipline into any player to make them an effective cog in the overall team.
That night at Anfield was the greatest moment of my fifty years supporting Arsenal, but how many of that team would get into an 'all-time' Arsenal team?
TA6, though at that time he was young, definitely.
Dixon, O'Leary and Rocky deserve to be in the conversation, but none would be in my team.
Yet they were coached, motivated and organised into a superb unit, something that has been woefully lacking from our glorious leader.
I'm sure that the right coach could significantly improve our players and our tactics.

Amen.
Richardson, Hayes, Groves... none were world class but all effective under a superb tactically pragmatic manager like GG.
That night at Anfield George went 5–4–1 with an ageing O'Leary as sweeper even though we hardly ever played that way. He saw that an experienced "old head" sweeper would let Dicko and Nutty push forward and limit Liverpool's often devestating attacks down both wings. George knew alright.
Who ever comes in needs to hit the ground running or the banners and light show will begin
WE WANT OUR WENGER BACK
To be honest I am a bit unsure if I can continue to support the Arsenal I will have to wait to see where Arsene goes before I make up my mind but I voted for Allegri With pep .Maureen and Klopp in town its going to need someone who is managing or has managed one of the European elite,its not the time for PV4 or Arteta and some of the others on that list
Conte would also fit the bill
I'm pretty sure there will not be a clamour for TOF to return. Certainly no lights or banners
Have you got a get out clause in your Arsenal Fan contract or should I say Arsene Fan contract? Interesting
It was a joke followed by a bit of sarcasm ,I love Arsene but I love Arsenal just a little bit more

In any sport, or organisation of any type, the best managers create teams that are more than the sum of their parts. I’m not even sure that Wenger managed this during his first few years, I think the constituent “parts” were good enough to work it out for themselves more often than not. However, you can’t get away with that in Europe and our lack of coaching and tactical drilling saw us underachieve badly in the CL, even with that top side.
Over the last 10-12 years, we’ve seen the absolute reverse of the notion, a team that was considerably less than the sum of its parts and with the quality of those parts on an ever declining spiral, there was no hope of them working things out themselves.
This current squad is incapable of competing for the top prizes, no matter who takes charge, but a coach instilling discipline, sound tactics, organisation and with the leadership qualities to motivate, could get our current shower above 6th place and 30 odd points off the leaders.
I want to see Allegri as he is the man to get everything out from this squad tactically. I'd love Simeoni also but I guess he's too rough to this board to handle.
What I fear is that there will be power lift from one to another (Wenga to Ivan) and we hire some no mark prospect like Arteta etc. There are proven winners out there so fucking go for it. With that money we paid to Wengaman we can get anyone we like.
Indeed, in fact this will be very interesting because that transfer kitty demand would effectively rule him out of the job!
Or would it? Surely somebody like Sanllehi hasn't come to do a job at Arsenal hamstrung by a two bob budget. Why would he put his professional career on the line as part of the overhaul of staff at our place if he hasn't been assured that there will be money to have a go at sorting out the team. I know, I know but you have to wonder. Interesting times ahead
