It's tongue-in-cheek...

Allegri has apparently turned down Arsenal and he is not interested negotiating with Arsenal again in the future since he was snubbed for the job by the board 18 months ago.
The club won’t employ Allegri because of his English. Same goes for Simeone (among other reasons). So you’re asking them to hold fire on the off chance PSG sack Tuchel and then what’s to say he doesn’t go to Bayern?

DeschampsWho knows the truth & only takes a few appointments for options to narrow.
Any of Enrique, Mancini, Martinez, Deschamps could be on the market & a few only contracted up to summer 2020.
Not a big fan of any but then you see who we are being linked with now.
My preference is... anyone but Rodgers... then any manager that has managed before.Deschamps
Because Arteta is this massively risky blank slate who has never been the responsible manager at anything.
Like I said in my last post: Fresh young and spanish you look at Xabi Alonso who has at least worked as a youth coach for Real Madrid and is having a decent season at Sociedad B and might reach promotion to La Liga 2 with them, similar to what Guardiola did in his one year at Barca B. That's at least some tangent you can go on, with Arteta there's virtually none and that's why I see him as such a risky no go.
And right now if there ain't no perfect solution I don't think the club should force it. Maybe Ljungberg manages to steady the ship and he can end the season, maybe he even turns out the guy to hire longterm. Maybe he doesn't steady the ship and a new manager is needed.
I think Allegri could've been decent, but he's far from the best option. Right now the market is thin but I don't think the club should force it. If you want to go with Arteta, you can also keep Freddie.
Why you keep banging on about Arteta when all this forum has voted for a man who has just been sacked from Sp**s?

I get what your saying but I think we need a manager nowThere seems to be alot of potential manager turnover with the Euros this summer, Allegri free & rumors surrounding PSG / Atleti.
We are the only big English club looking for a manager this summer unless Ole really ****s up.... hold fire ffs! Could get lucky.
Alonso has no ties to the club, while Arteta is a recent player who is well known within the club. They must see something in him since they're interested, whatever that may be. Also, I'd take working with world class players any time over managing some kids.
City also rate him and are rumored to give him the gig after Guardiola leaves. Doubt anybody there think "but he hasn't managed kids yet".
Said it before I think arteta would bring in alonso so you would get them both possiblyDon't think ties to the club should be a hard criteria.
And I mean "managing some kids" and getting them promoted in a serious league is what got Guardiola the Barca job.
Anyway, Alonso isn't even an option and I wasn't making the case for him.
And apparently City are currently looking at van Bronckhorst to follow Guardiola, not Arteta.
I'm absolutely not against leftfield appointments, but I just feel Arteta shouldn't even be on the field.

Fair point. If it is going to be arteta I'd rather he brought in an older more experienced head with him anywayNah, too late for that now. Alonso isn’t going to give up a managerial role to be an assistant.
You should never trust rumours when papers like The Sun or Mail are reporting. But it was the Italian Gazzetta that first reported that Allegri said no take over the helm at Arsenal after Emery, the reason was apparently because he was turned down by the board to succeed Wenger, Allegri was apparently also unimpressed by the level of professionalism at AFC and it felt like he was on the apprentice during the interview he had with Raul & Gazidiz 18 months ago, and that he will say no to any negotiations with Arsenal both now and anywhere in the future because he did not get the job 18 months ago. I suppouse Allegri would have denied these rumours if there was no truth to it.Who knows the truth & only takes a few appointments for options to narrow.
Perhaps this was the boards plan all along. Bombard us with names to grind us down so in the end we are just thankful for whoever they appoint lol
I have read the story. They also said we were likely option for Carlo today. Not sure what to believe.You should never trust rumours when papers like The Sun or Mail are reporting.
