It really is bullshit. The season isn't over for most of the guys in Europe. A manager still under contract can't really say much. Shit, a few weeks before Wenger quit he was certain he was staying on. The press have no clue.Quote:

Nagelsmaan is only 30. :blink:
Seems like he has done a good job with Hoffenheim though.
If we hire him. Will he have to say "Sir" to his underling BFG?Quote:

Arsenal is a much bigger club so who is available that is currently getting results at the top level and taking on the big teams and at least making it competitive? That's who we should be after because we aren't looking to step up to unprecedented levels, we are looking to get back to where we have already been. I think a younger manager who only has experience of being the underdog is interesting but not appropriate.Quote:

How are you miserable fuckers anyway? All keeping well, I hope.
The part in bold is bang on! We need to leave the romanticized idea that coaches are supposed to stay on for life at the club. I would love for our coach to be Allegri or Enrique, but I have no issues if its Arteta or some new kid on the block. Give everyone a decent shot, but if they are failing, sack them!Quote:
