Guardiola- Up for grabs now!!!

[Theoperator]

Steve Bould as caretaker manager, anyone?

Never ever ever, guys as useful as a ventriloquists Dummy these days . great player unproven even at League 2 level as a manager

[Rob Admin]

I would be highly amused if Guadiola came in for Sanchez and signed him, Sanzhez upon his switch citing the lack of quality signings and ambition of the club as his primary reason for moving to a big club. I have no doubt that Wenger will be the World's first wheel chair bound manager tucked up with a puma blanket at the Wengerdome.

in a way i hope he does - something big like that or Spurs challenging for the title is maybe needed to wake a few fans up from the comfort zone that we have been in for far too long

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Right, let's get this straight. Pep to City, Maureen goes to Manure, Simeone to the Chavs and we're giving Wanker a new deal. Fucking, fuck me.

Yes but with all these teams in transition and needing time to adjust to new managers etc surely NEXT season will be our best opportunity to win the league in years

I think its safe to say if that happens as you say, we will be confined to chasing those Europa League spots for a number of years.

Could be it any worse than the dictatorial control freak in charge now? I know Bouldy isn't allowed to speak, let alone offer advice that would improve the defence tenfold. He didn't even want the job at first, letting Pat Rice stay on an extra year, because he knew full well that TOF wouldn't listen to him or let him do any coaching. Being TOF's assistant is a redundant position. I could certainly trust Bould to give players the information they needed to hear and - God forbid - do tactics.

Steve Bould FFS, thats fucking ridiculous

[rodders999]

Bould is guilty by association in my opinion and can go F himself the very minute we rid ourselves of Wenger.

Absolutely - when pubis left stoke, bouldie had a real shot at becoming stoke's new manager, but he chose to stay in the easy life that he has at AFC An ambitious man, a man that wants to improve players and believes that he can be a good manager, f.ucks off to stoke and doesn't think twice about it - bouldie is on a cushy number with no real pressure and probably earning a nice wedge each month too and that was obviously his preference so why would we entrust him to run our club ?
Bouldie, keown, henry and all those former players who are nestled nicely under wenker's wings, can f.uck right off and imo have given up the right to be called legends - give me a former Gooner (like PV4) who left and refused to accept the apathy in wengers regime, over any of those other crunts

No need lefty cos I feel quite comfortable in my feelings re bouldie -

Do you believe that bould is allowed any input as assistant manager ? If yes, then do you believe that he is making ANY difference ? If no, then what the f.uck do you think that he is doing there ? If he is happy having no input but pocketing a nice comfortable wage, then what do you think that it says about him ?

We all bemoan the amount of players and managers (not just at Arsenal) who are motivated purely by money and are not bothered by actually winning trophies.........should bouldie be treated any differently ? We all get frustrated when we witness apathy amongst the players when they turn in another shocking performance and result, should an assistant manager be exempt from the same assessment ? Steve Bould sits on the bench like a mute person showing no passion/anger/frustration, and it is the same week after week.

Again I come back to the question if he is not allowed to "interfere" then why is he staying ? For me it either comes to down to either money, lack of ambition, or a total indifference to the failures in front of him and none of those paints him a good light. I may not like some of those players that have recently left us, but I do respect any that let us because they actually want to win trophies and medals

I'm not sure it will though,how many of our "heroes" have walked away over the last 10 years and the sheep at the Grove just keep stumping up more and more money to watch weaker and weaker players,I really don't know where the buck would actually stop with the Arsenal fans,most of them would tolerate the c*nts from up the road ground-sharing with us while they build their new ground,its a fucking joke.

To be fair, he was frustrated in his first season as TOF's assistant. There was one game where he was lipread saying 'How many times do I have to say it to you?' when we conceded yet another sloppy goal. There was even talk of TOF sacking him for wanting to do his job.

Anyway, the coaching and managing at the club is a shambles. Citeh will win the Be All and End All one day under Guardiola, whilst we go through more Groundhog Seasons under The Old Fraud.

Bould is a fucking fraud and it's high time people stopped lambasting Wenger and exempting him from criticism in the same breath. Whatever credit he built up as a player has long since been eroded.

And before anybody pounces on some strawman argument I am not suggesting that if Bould quit then Wenger would appoint a manager who would challenge him constantly and slowly haul him out of 2004 and into modern football. But equally we couldn't have anybody worse than somebody who sits there, agrees with everything Wenger says/does, makes the same stupid gesticulations and keeps his mouth shut so that he can pick up his £1m a year.

As Augie pointed out there would have been managerial positions available to him if he was arsed. He picked the easy life.
