I dunno, Wenger has talked about commitment many many times and he's never stood in a players way if he wanted to leave either.

If Arteta comes in I hope he doesn't carry on with this pass pass football Guardiola loves so much and that we've been trying to replicate for over a decade, Liverpools style of play if far more exciting and far better to watch, much like we were when we were winning.

5 yard passing is such a snoozefest.

He probably will. Maybe our board is hoping that we'll produce City type football and win the league.

Wenger never spoke on dropping players. He'd conjure up an excuse to protect the player from public criticism and shield their confidence.

"90% certain" :haha:

Yeah because that's how you'd tell the squad of such a momentous decision.

I'm slowing warming towards Arteta especially after reading Le Grove's piece and various other snippets about some of his coaching methods and the impact he's had. Apparently he's the one that stayed behind in training to work with Sane & Sterling to get them to improve their end product.

Apparently told Messi & Sherwood too fuck off when the former was time wasting and the latter was having a go at Sagna. :bow:

It may just be confirmation bias and me trying to reassure myself now though.

Still would prefer Allegri but I wouldn't be totally aghast if it was Arteta. Either way he has my full support and he should have the support of the fans with us purely judging him on the results & performances he delivers rather than the sexiness of his name or reputation.

You mean the style that Pep just won the league with, being the first manager to reach 100 points?

Or the style that both Klopp & Pochettino employ that's won them both jack shit so far?

At any rate you being too focused on style rather than what's effective and gets results it's pretty ironic seeing as you were always moaning at Wenger for being too rigid.

Did the club even think about a new manager when it was announced that Wenger was leaving? I think I read or heard somewhere that Wenger found out he was going to be asked to leave in the summer, but decided he was going to leave on his terms so announced it earlier and caught the club on the hop.
