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

[lamby22]

Ideally it would be Simeone for me but as he's not on the list it's Jardim - Allegri - Arteta in that order. The rest can piss off. Would only accept Ancelotti if Wenger ended up getting sacked and we needed a caretaker until the end of the season.

 

[Preacher]

In the poll, I had to choose one between Allegri and Jardim. So I chose the latter:
Good read.

 

[Rex Stone]

The next level up from Frankfurt isn’t Arsenal though, but probably a mid table championship club.

 

[rich 1990]

Somebody that probably won't happen but not out of the question totally as he'll be available soon is Zidane.

 

[FreakySami]

Not anymore he’s not.

If he leaves, his destination week answer that and I'm 99% sure that he's highly regarded.

As an elite coach? No way. As a manager, yes.

 

[Camus]

Jardim is pretty much a yes man, isn't he? Is he really going to be the man to stand up to the board? No chance. We need a manager that's good enough, confident enough in his reputation and ability that he'll stand up to the board even if it means getting sacked.

In essence we need someone who thinks he better than us, someone that could quit and get an equally good or better job somewhere else. Problem is I doubt anyone like that would manage us.

 

[BobP]

Jardim?

Favre has totalled his Monaco side on two occasions and with an inferior team at that.

[Rimaal]

Can't be denied Wenger is highly rated as a coach within the game too.....

If Arteta wants to be Arsenal manager he needs to first leave City and either come manage our youth team or another side. As an assistant manager he is as qualified to be our manager as Ryan Giggs should be for Utd. Ask yourself this question: if Arteta stayed an Everton player and never played for us would you want him to be our manager with his current experience?

I absolutely deny it.

 

[GDeep™]

Unless we employ Arteta, I think I might be finished with football.

Arteta revives a spark in me, it can’t be denied.

It really makes the most sense and might turn out to be the best we could do.

Every name mentioned stinks of struggle for top4, you don't see those managers Low, Ancelotti, Favre, Jardim compete with the best teams, might even struggle against Klopp and Pochetto.

With Arteta at least you know he will improve, it is exciting, big risk. Will bring much needed romantic to the sport I once loved.

wtf why? could say the same about any of our ex players with zero experience. not saying he would necessarily be a bad choice but come on.

No you can't say this about any of our ex players. People really need to stop with this.

 

[LG10]

Jardim the best option I think. Not a dinosaur like ancelotti or completely inexperienced like arteta. Tactically versatile, improves youngsters and experienced players, a likeable character.

Vieira would be the romantic choice - a black manager at the club where he was one of the most prominent of the Invincibles

That spark of yours will die when Arteta ends up being a flop and has his reputation ruined by failing as Arsenal manager...... pure folly to care more about short term feels than long term results.

 

[Mark Tobias]

LOL Would it be better if I pinpointed to another event involving some other ethnic group? Because we can do that.

Edit: Here you go.... He looks like a Holodomor survivor. Better?

And don't start drawing the line on comedy.

Not so much of an anti-semitic as you bare just an out and out racist. Okay, got ya.

 

[Jasard]

Arteta is a credible option. Whatever you think of it, it can’t be denied he’s highly rated as a coach within the game.

I want a young manager I think.

Yeah just not yet I think. Give him a few years for the Wenger influence to leave his system.

 

[Wryer]

I'm all for a manager that can,

1) properly introduce a structure for the team with well defined roles on the pitch.

2) tactically flexible and proactive

We don't have time for romanticism, and that's why ex players cannot be parachuted into the hot seat. If they have desire to lead the team, they should really forge from junior ranks.
