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

[Slartibartfast]

He's staying at Hoffenheim...

Good then.

There are plenty of other young managers with experience. Lots of old ones too. Not sure why age should really be a more important factor than resume.

I've heard Monday, your sauce must be off.

Been in the cupboard for a while, you could be right.

A manager has to start somewhere, why not at Arsenal? We're not gonna relegated, at worst we'll finish 7th maybe. Why not give this a go? He's incredibly highly rated by Guardiola, Wenger and Pochettino, three outstanding managers. Will have a lot of experienced coaches around him, he won't have to worry about recruitment or stuff like that like Wenger did, just the actual coaching of the team. He's a guy who was captain and was a good leader who people looked up to and listened to, I've no idea why that be any of different when he's a manager, certainly he was looked up to and listened to at City. Pep credits Guardiola for the improved output and performances of Sterling and Sane, which is pretty high praise considering the impact both have had, Sterling in particular who's become such a goal threat after failing in that area. He knows the club, respects the traditions and will be easily integrated.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance, when there's a guy as highly rated as Arteta ready and raring to get going as a manager why wait? For all we know he could manage Everton if we don't want him and then in a year or two he has Barcelona and PSG trying to sign him up to be their manager and folk will be angry that we missed out on him when we had the chance.

There's very few top coaches available, certainly very few who fit the criteria set out by Gazidis.

Any news?

Thus far all Arteta's coaching career is built on rumours, so people need to be a little bit creative, when they're talking about it.

Pep saying Arteta was integral to his set up, integral in the development of Sterling etc is not rumours.

Any news?

How you doing mate?

 

[Hunta]

Be delighted if greasy Mik promotes 5/6 of the quality u23 title winners.

Amaechi and Nelson starting on the wings in the PL, either side of Nketiah. Smith-Rowe in behind, oh what a game this is.

 

[Sanchez11]

Some man's on here still on stage 2 ffs, very sad to see.

Stage 1 mate is where its at

If everybody had given up advocacy of other candidates and accepted a Hillary Clinton victory because it looked like she would win the election, your hero Trump would not be president today.

Also, it has nothing to do with giving Arteta a chance. It's a matter of believing other candidates would be better suited for pushing Arsenal back to the top 4 while the club still has all that attacking talent in their primes.

Not sure why you think Arteta is a worthless loser (or why you should want him so badly if you do). I've always thought he was quite impressive. I said when he left to join Pep's coaching staff that I could envision him managing Arsenal someday. I just didn't mean in 2018 with only two years of experience as an assistant behind him.

I despise Trumps foreign policy and his inability to be as independent as he was before he was elected. He is not a hero in my eyes, just a typical republican. And i am not the one who genuinly believe that Arteta is a worthless loser, that should be obvious.

An unremarkable player during his stint with us & a captain so timid he'd barely stand out in an under 18 team let alone one with his peers. This is the man to lead Arsenal Football club. Common sense has taken a backseat to greed.
.

He was a good player for us, and had he joined earlier in his career he probably would’ve been remarkable too.

He wasn’t a timid captain either, he showed passion. Not that this stuff has any relation to his potential coaching abilities.

Adams was a remarkable player and a phenomenal captain, but he couldn’t manage a boiled egg.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Here's what I find fascinating. Over the past two or three years (at least), a certain segment of the Arsenal fan base has been viciously anti-Wenger and demanding "Wenger Out!," helping to create a toxic atmosphere around the club. But for some reason we're not supposed to oppose the hiring of Arteta over other more experienced and better qualified candidates before he's even been hired. We're just supposed to "accept it," shut up and get on board with a hiring that hasn't even actually happened yet.

Being an Arsenal fan is really weird.

 

[Preacher]

We're not gonna relegated, at worst we'll finish 7th maybe. Why not give this a go?

I honestly don't understand this kind of thinking. We're talking about Arsenal, one of the best English clubs with massive fanbase ant turnover.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Well, if you don't believe Arteta is a worthless loser and I don't believe Arteta is a worthless loser, who believes Arteta is a worthless loser and why did you bring it up?

Exactly snowflakes

We’re a 5-7 club currently.

How you doing mate?

My grandfather passed away last week and I've been trying to get home for last 7 days but the ferry wont sail over because the height of the sea waves is above 5 m still... It is taking its toll on me, but tomorrow the ferry will try to sail the longer route so hopefully I can get home tomorrow!

Would also help if Arteta could be announced tomorrow. Would help the mood for sure!

Wenger gets asked in an interview what he thinks about potential Arteta appointment and he is forced to give out a PR acceptable answer. Now apparently that means he is endorsing him. **** off. Like he was ever gonna say Arteta is ****.

 

[Highbury_2006]

Well, if you don't believe Arteta is a worthless loser and I don't believe Arteta is a worthless loser, who believes Arteta is a worthless loser and why did you bring it up?

Because thats the narrative around here. Artisan is probably the worst example in this case and you hasnt really tried to make him stop with his erratic behaviour.

 

[Jury]

Whats more baffling is the scorn heaped on our great players not from pundits, journalists or opposition fans but our own supporters.

I'm happy most here don't remember those great teams under Wenger & Graham before him because they don't deserve the Arsenal of old: Proud, Classy & A winning club on the field as well as off it.

They can have the current iteration: A mockery of what was once a great club.

El Jefe and his assistant. I would rather see Henry on the bench at Emirates than in Sky studio trying to speak English.
