Life after Wenger | Ornstein: Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery

[Slartibartfast]

So what? Proves that what Arsenal is doing with Arteta isn't as mad as some of you want it to be.

They had him, Kovac and others running. Kovac won.

Likewise Arteta won the race with us.

Maybe it's just a sign of Bayern being better decision makers. And as far as I know, Lahm never even got an interview. It was just a rumor.

 

[AVENTUS]

I don't understand the thought behind us trailing further behind.

Even if the new coach comes in and improves the defensive structure we have made an improvement in my eyes.

I know that's quite reductionist but still the point is some people seem to believe we are bound to regress.

Nobody can know anything for sure, Not even the board with there appointment..

 

[Slartibartfast]

Yeah, he has, unlike Arteta, no coaching experience at all and thats probably why he didnt get the job. If he had worked as an assistant coach to Pep for two years he probably would have been appointed by Bayern.

I seriously doubt it.

 

[OnlyOne]

This won’t be done until next week, Friday.

I've heard Monday, your sauce must be off.

Yeah whatever mate, hold that L and move on to stage 5, time to accept reality isn't it? I'm out of this debate.

Ralph Hasenhüttl. This guy is also available.

He's 50. According to some around here, that's as good as one foot in the grave and his senility prevents him from being able to understand the modern game.

 

[Preacher]

I have no doubt, that Ivan is driving force behind Arteta's appointment. He should carry all responsibility for it and his job safety should depend on it.

 

[Highbury_2006]

All this talk about "pressure at a big club" is nonsense. Arteta has seen and done enough to be able to handle pressure and worked close to a man who was always attacked, even by his own fans.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Cretin? Thierry Henry is a cretin?

The greater striker we’ve ever had?! Everyday I grow more tired of this place.

The sicophancy & group think developing in relation to Arteta is staggering compared to where we were a week ago.

An unremarkable player during his stint with us & a captain so timid he'd barely stand out in an under 18 team let alone one with his peers. This is the man to lead Arsenal Football club. Common sense has taken a backseat to greed.

Whats more baffling is the scorn heaped on our great players not from pundits, journalists or opposition fans but our own supporters.

I'm happy most here don't remember those great teams under Wenger & Graham before him because they don't deserve the Arsenal of old: Proud, Classy & A winning club on the field as well as off it.

They can have the current iteration: A mockery of what was once a great club.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "hold that L" and I don't know anything about "stage 5."

As for reality, I'm the one between the two of us who actually continues to live in it. In the real world, experience and accomplishment count for more than image. You want the hipster move. I want the one that gives Arsenal the best chance of getting right back into the thick of things.

Then again, a lot of supporters of a certain POTUS I'm not supposed to mention keep insisting that I'm the one not accepting reality as well as they spout easily disputable "alternative facts."

We feel so sorry for you, the great hero that is fighting both Donald Trump and the idiots that are willing to give the worthless loser Mikel Arteta a chance.

Just love how creative people are when it comes to facts and rumors. Entertainment level: Asylum.

I guess you didnt say a word when our own supporters attacked Wenger and claimed that he was a senile fool, for example on this forum.

Mate with an attitude like that young people, be it managers, players or whatever else have no chance at all. How do you process further without give the chance to the youth?

We're taking a chance, yes. It may be a **** decision but it's happening and there's nothing we can do about it. Accept it, and see where it takes us.

 

[Preacher]

Thus far all Arteta's coaching career is built on rumours, so people need to be a little bit creative, when they're talking about it.

 

[Slartibartfast]

We feel so sorry for you, the great hero that is fighting both Donald Trump and the idiots that are willing to give the worthless loser Mikel Arteta a chance.

If everybody had given up advocacy of other candidates and accepted a Hillary Clinton victory because it looked like she would win the election, your hero Trump would not be president today.

Also, it has nothing to do with giving Arteta a chance. It's a matter of believing other candidates would be better suited for pushing Arsenal back to the top 4 while the club still has all that attacking talent in their primes.

Not sure why you think Arteta is a worthless loser (or why you should want him so badly if you do). I've always thought he was quite impressive. I said when he left to join Pep's coaching staff that I could envision him managing Arsenal someday. I just didn't mean in 2018 with only two years of experience as an assistant behind him.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

I got on his case as well because he definitely overstayed his welcome but not for a moment did I insult his achievements or personally attacked him.

I'm not excusing the abuse he received but now that he has left we're engaging in gross mismanagement by employing a man with nary an ounce of experience in managing a sunday pub team let alone the 3rd biggest club in the land.

Arsène may have been hounded out but his legacy is vindicated for eternity.

Arteta, should he be hired, will be the first of a revolving door of lesser men.

One of my most favored candidates is six years younger than Arteta. So what does youth have to do with it? It's just that the young candidates I want have actual experience. Arteta doesn't.

Also, I didn't say it wouldn't happen. If it does, it does. As I've said repeatedly (almost on a loop), I will support whoever they hire. Doesn't mean I have to believe it's a good idea.

Some man's on here still on stage 2 ffs, very sad to see.

He's staying at Hoffenheim...

Good then.
