next manager

this is in no way supposed to be an attack on wenger as i think he should stay.
we all know when he leaves his current post he is 95% likely to move upstairs, so we will never really lose him.

so if we were to have another baron season, i think bringing in the next manager in to work along side him may not be a bad idea a la united with rudolph an queros.

my guess is that it could possibly be one of grimandi, bilic, or possibly rikard

wat you guys think?

The media loves Bilic because he's like Mourinho. He's witty and "a bit of a rebel"

so that automatically means he's a world class manager.

Leading a team that knocks England out of qualifying isn't exactly rare.

Bilic has been link to a move in the premiership. I have been quite impressed by him. Maybe not as a replacement to Wenger, but if Wenger retires, id like to see Bilic at Arsenal. I dont think we should go for an elderly heavyweight coach, but a young and dynamic one. If not Bilic, then maybe Van Basten or try and convince Gus Hiddink.

Thanks mate you just made my day. hiddink is 61 so that makes me really young and dynamic.

I meant it as if we are unable to get the likes of Bilic and Van Basten. There rnt too many young and talented managers to choose from really.

I'll wait till the time comes as by then Bilic may be greatly successful or struggling, rate him though I do and they will need to have proven themselves at more then one club

The day Aw decide to leave I reckon the only right thing to do is to ask him to pick his own replacement.

Van Basten, O'neil or Hiddink for me.

Don't see how Arsene moving 'upstairs' could work. Either he is the manager or not....Arsene moving upstairs would put off the names above as they are too established. If someone with less experience like Grimandi would basically mean Arsene was still manager with a 1st team coach with a little responsibility.

Would Grimandi stand up to Arsene and ignore he team selection advice? I doubt it.

Did they not try it at Manure with Busby? After 1 season he was back in full charge as no manager worked????
