Life After Emery Begins

[al-Ustaadh]

Balague thinks Arsenal and Everton could make announcements this week.

I’ll expect we’ve interviewed Arteta, Vieira and now Marcelino too, and will probably announce our choice anytime now.

No Pochettino?

No Pochettino?

We could’ve been in touch with his people, think his appointment looks unlikely. Ornstein or Balague aren’t talking about him.

 

[GDeep™]

Marcelino coming to London tying in with Balague mentioning him is more or less a stamp that we’ve interviewed him at least.

I’m obviously all for Freddie while he’s in charge and hope he turns out well enough to turn our season around. I dont think he’s going to turn out to be this grand motivator though judging by his sideline presence so far. Im also not buying that because he’s a legend it’ll unite the fan base. If this forum is anything to go by there almost zero chance of that regardless.

I actively avoid this thread because the headlines are always disgracefully disappointing.

Arsenal need to view Pochettino as the equivalent of a world class player available on a free transfer and make the correct efforts. I feel like the board aren’t realising that some managers are worth more than players and that would be very stupid.

If we aren’t going for him then we can afford to poach and pay pretty much anyone else. Why are we going for average guys when we could be going for managers who have done amazing things recently *cough* Ten Hag *cough*.

Poch won't be free though, he'd be like 12M right?


When I look at the list of candidates I'd take him over most right now.

 

[Garrincha]

Carlo sure is likable & can see Freddie having a big role to develop.

Hard to be against it.

Edus obsession with Vieira is worrying. Similar to Rauls connection with Emery which prolonged his tenure by months.

This article are a few weeks old, but it gives us an interesting insight to what happens behind the closed the closed doors in Arsenal. dailycannon.com/2019/11/raul-sanllehi-wanted-luis-enrique-so-why-did-arsenal-hire-unai-emery/

 

[Manberg]

For me it was clear during the whole game tonight that the the team lacks confidence, but we might see a turnaround now.

Sure confidence is low but we won’t get a turnaround. First of all we got City next in the league, not winning that. Second... West Ham were terrible. Worse than us.
Nothing changed except that we know Martinelli is a player.

If Raul hires Moreno or Marcelino I'll be gobsmacked, I can't believe Moreno is even on the radar now. I'd rather give Freddie or Arteta a go before Moreno.

Vieira is not interested. He has always been a weird fellow. He is an Arsenal legend through and through but never developed any affection or loyalty for the club.

Well, you would never know since the board selected Emery ahead of candidates like Allegri, Enrique, Tuchel, Nagelsmann or Rodgers 18 months ago.

 

[<<reed>>]

Everton are hiring Vitor Perriera it's look close after today report they already happy with his interview.

Everton are hiring some journeyman instead of Mikel "The next big ting" Arteta, you hate to see it.

 

[Camron]

We are gonna make a short term mistake again and miss out on a good manager in the summer aren't we? :frustrated:

 

[GoodEbening]

I'd take this dude over that scrub Arteta

 

[HollandGooner]

Still poverty names really Marcelino is the best out of them tells you everything you need. Understandable where there no good managers available apart from pochy and Allegri

We should have stayed put with Emery then if we are gonna end up with Marcelino. I am all in for Arteta.

Orny was misled last time. Let's hope it's true again

Will say this in Edu’s defence. He is the reason we have Martinelli so maybe a little faith is needed
