Life After Emery Begins

What's your problem with me? Just because I stopped training you in chess after you sneezed all over the board? Grow up.

Who are you talking to?

But rodgers is a flop?

Flopped at Liverpool. Never called him a flop in general.

This guy isn’t Mourinho, I just can’t see it happen.

Neither can i. But if he or his people havent said that the job is out of the question soon i will get my hopes up.

All on board the Poch train. He should make Harry Kane his first signing

 

[ChefMan21]

Well he's not going back to Sp**s is he, so what's it matter about that relationship? Should check out their forum: a bit of revisionism/he wasn't that good already.

Pochettino should have a talk with Sol. He will tell him what is what. Welcome Poch.

 

[Rex Stone]

Beautiful.

Actually watching this I am 100% convinced this isn't happening. Case closed for me - will not even be getting my hopes up now.

Freddie or Arteta it is

Felt a lot of assurance for you there mate. There's no such thing as counter-jinxing.

I figured it was safe to drop in now (much of the negativity being lifted and a new hope on the horizon).

A few thoughts on some of the managerial candidates:

Pochettino: Always rated him and he would be a good fit for Arsenal. It's a club where he might even win trophies. Extra points for Sp**s fans who adored him having to watch him manage Arsenal and Arsenal fans who despised him suddenly loving him if the team does well.

Allegri: His success at Juventus speaks for itself (although things were a bit sketchier at Milan). I read this morning that he reportedly would demand two new center backs (my top priority last summer while everyone was saying all Arsenal needed was Pepe to sort out the defense from the flank). Somehow it doesn't seem like a great fit to me, but I certainly would not be against giving it a try.

Arteta: I'd be much more in favor of Arteta at this point because Emery has already filled the role of "guy who succeeded the legend." It would be easier for Arteta or another first-time manager to succeed Emery.

Ancelotti: Would have been a fine choice to succeed Wenger because it's a bit easier for a legend to follow the legend. I love Carlo and would never be against him, but I don't think he's the best choice at this time. I'd prefer somebody younger with some newer ideas.

Rodgers: Well, look at Leicester. The guy is pretty good and is proving his doubters wrong. Despite the fact that he jumped ship from Celtic mid-season last year, I can't see him doing it again for Arsenal. He's on track to possibly build something special at Leicester, so why would he want to leave to clean up a mess?

Nuno: Guy is a great manager and his teams can play some lovely football. Would be fine with him, but honestly don't see it happening during the season. Maybe in the summer. He's in the same rat pack with Raul and Jorge Mendes.

Patrick Vieira: I've always said I'd love to see Vieira manage Arsenal someday. Has that time come? He would certainly be an intriguing choice and his status as a true club legend would lend him a lot more benefit of the doubt from the fan base.

Freddie: Not really an option since he doesn't have his UEFA Pro License. He can only manage for 12 weeks without special dispensation. But this will be good experience for him. Has always seemed like one of the true good guys in the sport, so I'll be thrilled if he has a good run.

So people are unanimous in wanting Poch based on the fact that he outperforms squad cost yet some people try and tell me my man @Makingtrax hasn't had an influence on this forum?

He does have all the licences needed, as per Ornstein himself if I remember correctly.

Good post, but you are mistaken, Freddie has UEFA Pro License.

Very good post.
