Life After Emery Begins

[TinFish]

i love Freddie but no way is he ready to hold the fort until the end of the season. We need someone in asap

Like who? What can do they do with this shambles of a squad? Personally I think some players like Auba are dead set on leaving regardless of managerial / structural changes.
We are boned either way and need a few transfer windows if not more to rectify the squad.

True. A new manager is pointless if you are going to allow Raul keep dumping average players on him.

We need new head scout and head of recruitment with new manager if we want to be successful in near future!

We do need additions but I can't see the board backing a caretaker in the window. I'd offer potch the family silverware to come, if not him then take the punt on arteta. Personally if not potch I'd have gone for ancelotti for Thisbe season and next and reassessed then. How sure are we that rose nagelsmann, marsh etc can't be tempted anyway? Money talks

I also think you are spot on about auba

 

[Garrincha]

Same. Game going fan here, I signed up on here to follow serious stuff. And all that's on the page is pointless 'banter' or stuff about GDeep. Blocking that ***** first up was the best thing I did.

As for the club I hope we get someone soon. The last few games before Freddie I went to the ground, had absolutely toxic and dejected atmosphere. We need a buzz and a new announcement soon.

what’s the difference between Freddie and Arteta? Besides being 2nd to pep, would you punt the clubs winter transfer kitty to him?

Where would that leave Freddie? I’m not sure if he’s humble enough to go back to the youth squad, especially seeing Arteta usurp him from the main job. Would create a little instability in the back end IMO.

If you’re gunning for Arteta this brings some serious questions ...
1) what happens to Freddie
2) if you want him for short term then stick with Freddie
3) if you’re seriously considering Arteta as a permanent solution then he is also tasked with assembling or using effective backroom staff to aid his cause. Who would that be??

in my opinion as I see it things it can only be Poch. It just makes the most sense from all angles. Otherwise I’d rather see what happens in the summer. There always seems to be a managerial Merry-go-round then.

If we appoint arteta it's got to be with the long term in mind. I think they'll back him in the window as they have already considered him for the job once and seem keen to go back. Also the big difference for me is that arteta has been a senior assistant much longer than Freddie has. And also has endorsements from pep and wenger. Freddie doesn't have that. I would back arteta as a bold and brave choice but as I said I'd go for potch and ancelotti before him. I would like to see Freddie kept in the first team coaching set up tho

Any manager is going to have a hard time with this current squad. Serious investment is needed, especially in midfield and defence. Our chances of winning the Europa League or finishing in the top four are negligible.

As such, we should keep Freddie for as long as is needed to hire a quality manager. If that means waiting until the summer, then so be it.

Do you think they will back a rookie caretaker manager in the jan window? We are going to need additions in key areas in january

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

They seem close getting someone in

Because if we don't make those additions we are going to struggle to break top 6 and then what quality manager will we be able to attract especially as our better players will probably all be clamouring to leave

Raul and Edu are there to coordinate transfer strategy, so they don't need to back Ljungberg in the January window. If they bring in quality reinforcements then these new players will be at the disposal of the next manager regardless.

I doubt we are going to finish in the top 10 with Freddie in charge until the end of the season.

That's one less obstacle to Freddie getting it. I just havnt seen anything in the games he's taken charge of that makes me feel he's the man to change us. It's felt very....emery if I'm honest

Freddie has very little experience coaching at the senior level (or any level, for that matter). So his experience with this team comes from Emery. He's not going to make radical changes. This is why they need to hire somebody now. A new manager will bring, hopefully, fresh ideas along with experience and will have an opportunity to shake things up. That might be the only way to get things moving in the right direction.

Honestly, I fear that leaving Freddie in charge until the summer could be a huge mistake with long-term repercussions for the club. With his lack of experience, he could get overwhelmed. That would be bad for Freddie as well. It's just not fair to him.

Totally agree

Post Emery has been handled pretty bad. Situation is still up in the air. Uncertainty is never a good thing.

I’ll give them benefit of the doubt with Emery, they got it wrong, no problem.

But everything surrounding the departure of Emery and since, looks off. We took forever to sack him, seem to have made no contact with any manager in preparation for his sacking, and are now in limbo land. Compare that to Sp**s.
