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

[Yousif Arsenal]

Only a few more months now.. Do wonder who the board are lining up as potential successors.

I'd like to see Favre or Allegri.

Board can go f**k themselves i don't think they even know who Favre is that what we dealing with we will be in trouble when wenger go because the board is so bad. we will be extremely lucky if we manage and appoint Allegri

Knowing our board we're getting Bould on a 10 year contract.

Don't be ridiculous.

We're getting David O'Leary. Former Gunner, managed a team to a CL semi-final - fans will love it.

But what managers would you like to see at the club?

 

[Beksl]

We're getting Eddie howe, a proper English lad!

Be careful what you wish for, not many fans get to see their team get smashed by the same teams every season.

You can change it to whatever you like, friend.

I feel that Benitez could be a pretty decent shout. He's done well at many different clubs. He's done well in tough circumstances at Chelsea and Newcastle. He's got pedigree and experience. Arsenal are likely several years and 2 or more managers away from a title challenge. They need to reinvest in young players with the funds from Alexis and hopefully Özil to rebuild. Benitez is a safe pair of hands to manage transfer funds in the meantime to steer Arsenal through the inevitable dip before a more top level manager can come in and push on.

We already need steering through a dip. What more of a dip do you want..

My suggestion was that I believe Benitez can steer Arsenal through the dip that will follow Wenger's exit. Having made top 4 since Wenger's arrival - it isn't realistic that a new manager will be able to maintain that consistency. Hence a gritty, experienced manager who has battle scars from other top jobs but has consistently won trophies and lifted clubs is what is desirable in the interim, rather than a Guardiola style manager who will want to build up the club in a new identity, which should be a task for the second or third manager post-Wenger. I don't really see much in Benitez's career to suggest that he isn't capable of doing a decent job under the pressure.

 

[STYLEZ]

Just hope the board have some commen sense with the appointment of the new manger.

Wenger is paid a huge amount and I hope they don't try and save on wages when he leaves because Wenger is paid much more then all these high profile managers mentioned.

Nah, Eddie Howe is what we need.

Eddie Howe Would rather Wenger.

Sarcasm lad. Someone mentioned something about him being a proper English lad which is what we need, so I thought I'd throw it in

There are some who do want. Makingtrax wants Owen Coyle.

 

[Rimaal]

Life after Wenger. What do we expect? What do we focus on? Who, to take us forward?

A new narrative.
A new ethos.
Plenty of options out there, most named here, but not Howe.
