Manager Wish-List Thread

[Garrincha]

its hard to guess without knowing whos going to be running it this time

Edu could be a wild card as we have no real idea what he looks for in a manager... The only guy at the club right now without the 2018 & 2019 Arteta stench on him. Does he have an ace up his sleeve or wider view than the usual names? Only ever read about Gallardo but was surprised to see him linked with Fenerbahçe a few weeks back... seems more realistic now than when linked to Barce all the time.

if KSE in charge think we will be looking young again chasing that Mcvay appointment.... assuming Nagelsmann gets snapped up soon wouldn't be surprised to see Gerrard as the guy ticking alot of boxes.

have a bad feeling Roberto Martínez could resurface after the Euros

None of the names is exciting except Rodgers and it's laughable to suggest he'd swap for us.
**** options

The only replacement I'd want is Rodgers. Allegri is the big name that's available but I'm not sure that would lead to what people perceive as a positive change in style.

Do you take a gamble on Eddie Howe. A young progressive coach, patchy transfer record in the PL, but a hugely impressive one prior to that?

Do we look to Germany? The only manager there I want is Nagelsmann who is ear marked for bayern surely

Hilariously if you met him in person you'd be a giant mess. Doubt you'd call him a dosser then.

The disrespect just because we're on the internet is hilarious, people feel like they can just chuck abuse out there towards players and managers. Just as bad if not worse than abusing them in person. 0 balls.

I like howe but could he be a world beater with support & backing?

You'll never know until you put him in that position.

Ive had a fairly detailed look at him and a lot of my preconceptions have changed. He has actually recruited a lot of decent players and you can see that track record from their progress through the leagues. Jack Wilshere also speaks very highly of him.

I do like the idea of a young English coach. Him and Graham Potter stand out in my eyes. Some may turn their nose up but I think they've both shown something and have a style of football that some will consider the modern Arsenal way.

This thread is a car crash of opinions.

Issue with Rodgers is that he’ll be too expensive. But the bigger issue is that he’s benefiting from a great scouting system at Leicester, he won’t have that up here.

And this is key to the discussion I feel.

Rodgers has the experience we need, but it must be supplemented by a proper football direction and scouting system running in the background. Of course we must have the financial muscle to supplement that as well.

Rodgers, Rangnick and get Sven back. If you get in new ownership, that's a bonus.

Seriously though. Why are people not considering Bielsa? The man would do magic with this bunch.

He'd be amazing. We should go all.out for him.

 

[shoot for the top]

With Bielsa, we would at least have attacking football again.

 

[Sanchez11]

Sp**s want Rodgers, now or never if we want him

 

[TimoJens]

Antonio Conte. Yes, he will probably win the italian league soon but it seems like he isnt happy in Milano. He is not the most likely name but worth a shot.

Don't think Allegri and Conte are what most here at A-M want on the back of Emery and Arteta. They want to see more progressive football and more cutting edge attacking wise. I'm still into getting basics of defending right first, but this isn't exactly a club that goes out and commits to big spends on players like VVD, Alisson, Maguire, Dias, etc. (instead we put that money on Pepe).

Rodgers, Rangnick and get Sven back.

Wouldn't Ralf and Sven be redundant?

Highly doubt he'll be tempted, he's finally got everything going for him at an european club in Leeds.

 

[Dial Square 1886]

Having a good laugh remembering what some on here used to say about Brendan when he was at Liverpool.

He certainly was not considered 'Arsenal level' and not quite sure what he has done in the interim to change that?

Mind you, Arsenal level is about 10 notches lower than back then, so we will see!!

 

[Dial Square 1886]

Bielsa is a bit of a legend in terms of football philosophy no doubt, but wildly overrated in terms of actual success at winning IMO.

We could have just stuck with Arsène and kept playing nice football with occasional **** ups!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Surprised Gasperini is never mentioned really. Atalanta play great football, very offensive minded, overachieving for a few years now. I've no idea about his level of English granted, but when I look at some of the names there's a lot more substance to Gasperini than some of the names.

must say I'm impressed with how well Bournemouth has coped with their demotion to the Championship, and after losing their long time manager and a fair few of their best players - unlike us post Wenger

it speaks well for Howe's legacy, IMO
