But why is it either Allegri or Arteta in people's minds???

But why is it either Allegri or Arteta in people's minds???

A loud of reports starting going on about Allegri, then a few ITK's started mentioned Arteta while there's been a lot of talk about Arteta (or another young coach) in the media for weeks.

In truth tho, the candidates have yet to be interviewed (I assume anyways) and no one really knows anything at this moment.

But why is it either Allegri or Arteta in people's minds???

Because they're the two leading candidates according to Chris Wheatley of Goal and Sky Sources. Plus the great ITK divide between the two of them.

Which means it's going to be Zorro Fonseca.

I like @Cazorlinho ’s point made a page or so back.

Why switch Wenger for Arteta? It actually doesn’t make sense to me.

With Wenger stepping down (largely a product of the toxic atmosphere created around the club the past couple of seasons), they need somebody. So the question isn't "why switch?" They have to switch to somebody. The question is "why Arteta?" I still don't think it will be Arteta because there are too many other qualified, experienced choices out there. It would be insane to hand it over to someone who has never managed and has very little experience in coaching at all.

The whole notion that a top player will instantly become a top manager is bollocks in the first place. How they played in their playing career has no relevance to their ability as a manager. Wenger was a garbage player, so were plenty of other successful managers.

How is it bollocks ?

Pep
Zidane
Deschamps
Blanc
Conte
Simeone
Cappelo
Rijkaard
Dalgleish
Beckenbauer
Heynckes
Del Bosque
Ancelloti
Cruyff
Mancini
Getting tired thumbwriting here...
So What Tony failed at it (and shearer, zola and a few others)
The list of succesful or decent is still longer than the list of great players who failed utterly
The world is filled with great players turned great coaches

A bunch of Italian ex players are working their way up to, seems to be most common in Italy for some reason

I've always said I'd prefer Allegri over Arteta. But if not Allegri, then who? Arteta is the choice for me.

And you don't even have the ****ing balls to quote me. Some mod you are.

You tell him.

 

[Preacher]

Don't know anything about the source, but I'll take it.

 

[Sobotka]

Until a Uruguayan golfing pirate radio station tweet that we have interest in Allegri, I'm refusing to believe anything.

So in four seasons at Juve Allegri has won four domestic doubles and reached two CL finals.

Even if he has the best squad, that's still an incredible achievement.

Four doubles in a row - sounds like he needs a new challenge. Welcome Allegri

Where is Jenny Lizarazo? Need her on some balcony in Miami with her tits hanging out talking about our current state.

Silly ****.

 

[AL the gooner]

I see Allegri is boring his way 4-0 in the cup final to win another double.
Dont want any of that at Arsenal thanks, give it Arteta.

No shame after all the nasty stuff he’s said about Wenger.

Like Troopz following Alexis to a hairdressers, these guys are proper weirdos.

 

[HBL]

Arteta is probably an upgrade on Wenger at this point...

There hasn't been any 'nasty' stuff.

He was singing a song about being happy when Wenger dies outside the Emirates a few years ago
