Id take Pellegrini. We`d still make top 4 and would not play crap football anymore. The thing to remember is that Wenger also has a crap background team, ( I exclude Bould from this as i frankly feel he is as disgusted as most of us are about the current state of affairs but simply cant do anything about it working for Mr know-it-all). Getting rid of Wenger improves us in so many ways.
Mourinho, far better manager than the other two and proven and actually seems to apply tactics and motivate players, Wenger is 2nd rate and Pellegrini is a small time manager who can't manage a big club.
My choice woud be Simeone though if we could have anyone.
Quite honestly I'd have anyone of Wenger at the moment as long as they were honest and not patronising and sympathetic to the fans, cos let's be honest Wenger is a joke of a manager, wouldn't want him within 10 miles of the place once he's left in case he tries to tell the new manager how to do things.
How anyone would have Wenger in any capacity still here in any is beyond me, surely people are sick of listening to his BS ever single week, to not have to hear his boring nonsense about belief and mental strength ever again will be a godsend.
Did a great job of motivating the Chelsea players this season
Short term Mourinho can spend people's money and succeed off a philosophy that the less my team has the ball the less mistakes it will make.
But as was seen at both Real Madrid and Chelsea, when his teams get outplayed he will invariably shift the blame from his one dimensional tactics and bully and insult others, until he's being let go simply because he becomes unbearable to deal with.
Most managers have bad seasons, it happens, fact is his record speak for itself, it's better than the other two by a country mile.Quote:

We've got football's Mr BS, a man that doesn't relate or give toss about fans, a man so stubborn he make a mule look easy to train and man that has turned this club into a laughing stock and somehow that's bearable, I don't get it.
Any manager better than Wenger?
It's that attitude that sees United being saddled with Moyes and Real Madrid with Rafa Benitez
Wenger is not taking us forward and I think we all accept that, that won't change but would be absurd to rush things and end up with someone mediocre out of spite. Should Wenger have been replaced long ago, probably yes but that's the situation we are in.
There are managers who I feel could come in and do a better job but it'd have to be a process that we would have to take time on.
Low would be my no1 choice but the downside is that he doesn't have a distinguished club managerial career. But I think he single handedly sculpted that German side.
It's not bearable but it's more bearable than having a self destructive sociopath who could potentially so far more damage to the club and its reputation than Wenger could dream of.Quote:

I don't think Pellegrini is that great but he'd probably make us more cohesive as an attacking unit and wouldn't persist with the ramshackle nature of some of our players. So him just because I'm sick of Wenger failing to make any difference.
Noone compares to Simeone for me, what's he's achieved with Athletico is nothing short of miraculous given the competition, Low is not bad.Quote:

Damage, I think you're exagerrating he's done no damage to Real or Chelsea, Wenger on the other hand well the evidence is there, a losers mentality ingrained from top to bottom, overpaid wannabee's everywhere you look, injuries left right and centre, an attack that can't score, a defence that can't defend, stockpiling CM so much so half of them have to go on the wing.......ths list is endless.Quote:

I like Lows Germany that combination of mental toughness and attacking flair
Think how dangerous they'd be if Germany actually had a proper out and out striker
