He's one I'd take here.
I would give Vieira a go. As every says how bad a manager Wenger is therefore 6th is about as low as we are going to finish and I don't think we would finish higher than 4th with a different manager. So why not give him a go.
obviously i'm a big fan of him but i think we need somone more senior and experrienced.Quote:

Pires says Vieira is ready the job.
He also backed Wenger for years.
Let's hope he never has a senior role at the club.
Emery would be a great manager for us. He’s available and will certainly accept the offer.
WENGER IN!!!Quote:

Vieira is manager of New York, though granted it's only at a semi-pro level.Quote:

So Vieira could bed in next year or so and does playing Champions League football really matter beyond the finances. Rather get to a Europa league final than the last 16 of the CL.

Luis Enrique has requested £200m to spend this summer, something chief executive Ivan Gazidis is against, making the Spaniard becoming Arsenal manager very complicated. [@Kike_Marin_] #afc https://t.co/S2uUHJc7OP
He realises we need a major overhaul:lol:
If we want a top manager, that is probably the size of budget we’ll have to offer.
Most managers will want a big budget with play with. There really aren’t many now who can operate on a shoestring and there certainly aren’t many bargains to be had such is the quality of scouting in the game now. You have to act fast and hard with the cash to get who you want.
Wenger was of his time, armed with his exclusive knowledge of French talent. Managers these days all know as much as each other.
We should be able to offer £200m for this summer. We have the money and this is a new era.
We need to wipe the slate clean and rebuild the squad to make it competitive again - £200m is about the right kind of money that we need to spend to do that, it’s obvious.
One big blow out this summer, to put us back on the map, should be expected and the bare minimum if we are to become great again.
Gazidis can’t be that stupid to think that a measly budget will turn us around?
That billionaire owner of ours needs to wake up and put his fucking hand in his pocket or let Usmanov put some dollar in, just for now, just this once, just to help steady the ship and turn things around.
Two shirt buttons and a bit of string won’t cut it anymore, we need more than Everton’s budget to sort us out.
Any credible, top manager coming in will want similar assurances or what is the point? We might as well have kept Wenger if we have no ambition to move onwards and upwards.
However, all this being said, Kike Marin is never right and talks a lot of shit :good:
Is that how managers do it? Request a cash amount? Seems far more likely they have a list of players they want to sign and leave the financials to the board. Who would pitch up at a job interview asking for 200 million quid? It's a vision for the progress of the team that would be required, not a request for a lump sum and a shopping trolley.
So bullshit story I would think. Besides, there's so much room for improvement over Wenger's dilapidated methods a new manager would have to get in there and see what he already has. The top managers know Wenger is shit. They know how big this club is and how much potential is there. Five minutes with the defence will improve it beyond anything Wenger was ever capable of.
I don't expect to see any dramatic overhaul or huge expenditure in the first year.
Yeah, they’ll have a list of players.Quote:

Same happened with Ancelotti at Liverpool. Apparently he said they need a new spine so they ran towards Klopp.
Managers will assess the squad and tell the board how they would improve it. In fact you can bet your life one of the first questions Ivan will ask is 'what are you going to do with the squad?'. So Enrique saying he'd spend £200m wouldn't come as a surprise.
The squad is a mess from the bulk of the midfield back to goal.
If there is to be a quick fix, and these days that is all it is about, £200m is pretty much what it will cost.
At the very least we need a new GK, CB, and CM to all come straught in and improve the starting XI.
Plus a back up RB and another CB if we ditch Mustafi. I would also like to see a new winger, someone with pace and skill. We should be looking to pick up the next Sane (whoever that it).
Thats not going to come cheap.
Well you’d expect whoever comes in to need a couple of seasons (like Klopp) to revamp.
You have to sell off the deadwood, and make some shrewd additions. 200m if you weren’t selling is about right, but net spend should be lower really.
Also a decent manager should be able to get more tactically from our lot. I still think with better coaching you get more out of some of our current squad.
So £200m that's one Neymar!!! or 1 and a half Courtinhos. Don't think that would make much difference on the squad. But surely a manager should be able to come in and improve performance without having to spend 200m. A new manager must want to work with the players and see how they train first before making all the decisions. maybe a couple of new players and sell players who are of no interest. But the rebuild will take a couple of years and no guarantee that we will be in the CL places next season even with a new manager.
I think £200m under SAS could go a long way actually. They're pretty good at finding gems. Just need a good manager to get the best out of the players.
Duncan Castles says we're in for Sarri now Allegri is a no go :lol:
Can't see it happening because of his views. But it should be happening because of his views.
Still thinking in Arsenal terms, which is understandable considering Wenger's philosophy almost fossilised the club and everyone attached to it. We criticise the clubs that actually win stuff by saying they don't care about money. Because they don't, not to the degree where the manager is sitting there with a calculator in one hand and a phone in the other, lowballing other clubs, trying to unearth the next Sanogo.Quote:

Is Brendan Rogers thrifty? If so, maybe that's why he's a front runner for the job, Scrape CL next season, then just keep us there and the money rolling in.
Agreed. Or even if we don't, the new guy still has to try. We've all seen new defenders coming in looking competent for the first few games and then suddenly becoming inept. Maybe somebody who knows what they are doing can reverse the process.Quote:

As rich as we are, we're not on the level of City, Utd or PSG who can literally buy two world class players for every position. The next manager has to be a good coach who can make the team better than the sum of it's parts - see Klopp or Pochettino who have some proper dross in their team (Henderson, Dier, Milner etc) yet they get their team performing week in week out thanks to tactics, coaching and system.
Out of the ones we're linked to, the only ones I feel can replicate that are Allegri, Tuchel & Jardim.
Agreed
Was never too keen on Enrique but much prefer him to Arteta so the only reason I'd want him is to keep Arteta out
Jardim is warming on me and seems to fit the bill with the direction we want to be heading.

Bring him in :bow:
Bloody hell. I could manage Celtic to the title...
according to the Times:
Arsenal have stepped away from making Luis Enrique the managerial successor to Arsene Wenger, although the former Barcelona coach remains the bookmakers’ favourite for the job. The Sunday Times understands that senior executives consider Enrique an inappropriate fit to the position.
A Champions League and double La Liga winner before stepping down as Barca coach last year, Enrique would have been expensive, with his salary demands exceeding the pay of the man Arsenal invited to step down at the end of this season. More importantly, it is felt that Enrique’s self-absorbed approach to management would not mesh with the London club’s restructuring strategy. The 47-year-old does, however, remain a strong candidate to replace Antonio Conte as Chelsea coach.
Arsenal remain in the early stages of…
The press don't have a clue.
Someone told me that Ty from ArsenalFanTV loves Wenger because the manager stops for a chat with Ty and some other gooners after every (more or less) home game.
We're interested in Fonseca apparently. Is he any good? :unsure:
Amazingly that is true yes!Quote:
