Wenger's future, possible extension and possible... departure?

[Power n Glory]

Yeah totally agree, for me Dortmund was all Klopp, he's the one that turned them into the team they were, the football, the players, the success, Tuchel just inherited a very talented squad and didn't really do much with it or impress, if anything in Europe they looked far less clinical and much more brittle than under Klopp.

If he'd gone in and really changed things and made them a force, I'd agree, but from what I saw they were less of a force than before, that defeat to Liverpool was a real shocker, in complete control and then giving away essentially a 3 goal advantage twice showed real tactical naivety IMO.

Agreed. Would have to see a lot more from Tuchel. Its too premature to put him a anywhere near the elites. We've seen managers with way more accolades flop once they have gone to a bigger team. Remember Juande Ramos and Villas Boas? I don't mind saying we should take a risk, it's hard to project these things but the praise for Tuchel is way overboard. In fact, it's not even the praise, it's the talk as if he's certain for bigger and better things.

Another black mark against Conte imo is how he falls out with players. His fall out with Diego Costa is what basically has landed him in his current predicament with Chelsea. Sure he felt Morata would do the business but he threw away a 25 goal striker in a fit of pique. A manager should always see the big picture. Costa may have been a cunt, but unless he was caught shagging other players wives, why dump him so carelessly. I dont wantus to employ another manager who thinks its all about him. Maybe its an Italian thing. Roberto Mancini was also an egomaniac

Yeah big mistake to fallout with your star players, he created this mess by being too stubborn, he should have just sorted it out instead he's messed up and cost the club.

Not convinced with him, his first season was good but this season has been a disaster and Morata was a shocker of a signing, I could have told you the guy can't finish.

Well if all else fails we can go for globalgunner's preference which is Sam Allardyce

[Marc Overmars]

How good is this Jardim bloke?

Seems like he's done the most Wenger-esque job out of the lot. Pre-2006 Wenger that is.
Unearthing plenty of young talent while playing some great football without spending a ton of money. Shame their team was torn apart last summer, they were awful in the CL this year and it's business as usual in France now. Could be a good time for him to find a new challenge.

Sam Allardyce is a "big" talent.

HCZ () was a big fan. When I saw Monaco they did seem to have a good system attacking wise. There's a stat that explains Monaco were the best defensive team in Europe statistically and they were criticised for it, so he changed it the following season and they became the best attacking side statistically. So he can do both.

The problems are he doesn't speak English and he isn't charismatic at all

Ivan seems a big fan though. He mentioned Monaco a few times when referring to their model last season. He can't be worse than Wenger

Jardim is a brilliant manager IMO. I was looking at his Managerial statistics and whilst he hasn't had any glamorous jobs he has done very well wherever he has been, normally top 3 finishes, coupled with winning the league last season with Monaco. He has an impeccable track record of developing youth through clubs systems, he did it before at Sporting Lisbon.

If we can't get Allegri then Jardim would be my choice.

We can't hire a manager just because he's nice.
