Would Jardim want to leave a CL club for us if we don't qualify for CL?Quote:

We're a much bigger draw than Monaco, CL football or not. Not to mention his salary would be higher here.
lWell that's a positive. What this space then.Quote:

They are beyond repair now.

I cannot see it being Conte as he might still be at Chelsea when Arsenal appoint a new manager.
I cannot see it being Ancelotti or Sarri as they are too old.
I cannot see it being Allegri because why would he leave Juventus to come here.
I hope its not Enrique as he did nothing at Roma and has only done well in Spain.
I hope its Jardim, he is only 43, has lots of experience in various countries and won Monaco the League title last season.
If its somebody I haven't mentioned I will probably be disappointed.
Its a massive task and will take at least 2 years to get Arsenal challenging for the PL title.
We also got absolutely spanked in the youth cup final.Quote:

Heck even the likes of Bellerin, Chambers & Holding are still young and can easily be improved.
Maitland Niles - AgreedQuote:

They could all come good and I hope they do. But we're quite a way from a golden age of youth. Young players that will realistically break into the first team, anyway.
Re: Enrique, he only had one season at both Roma and Celta so no real time to make his mark.Quote:

He is stil my first choice, with Low / Jardim / Allegri all joint second.
Jardim and Allegri are the front runners but Allegri will have plenty of suitors and Jardim doesn't speak English which is a problem.Quote:

He'll need a season minimum to assess the squad and decide who he wants to keep/sell. Managers usually need 3-4 windows to shape the squad into their own.
The Mirror claim Jurgen Klopp was incensed after Zeljko Buvac kept an approach from*#Arsenal*secret. Buvac was contacted by Sven Mislintat about replacing Arsene Wenger as head coach. https://t.co/VvCrmqNK4Y

I don't get why Enrique is anybody's first choice.....especially after as I keep saying his 'give manager's 6 months contracts' nonsense. Does that sound like the mentality of an Arsenal manager? I know Wenger has been there an age....but we don't need to model ourselves on Chelsea. We should be showing them how a proper football club behaves....not trying to aspire to their methods and following them. Little tin pot club.
The Arsenal manager's job is not some King's Cross hooker where everybody get's a turn. It should be aspired for and have some gravitas. I don't care if Marketing have adopted a similar model. They're spending is beyond the realm of ours.
Jardim all the way for me, but I like Allegri and a few others. I'd accept a name I hadn't heard of too, as long as he fulfils a certain criteria which you don't necessarily have to be a famous manager to have.

If the goggle eyed twat says it's happening then it's happening. Woo Hoo!
Cant argue with the logic. Welcome Allegri! :jumpnana::dance:Quote:

None of them really excite me. We'll be lucky if even one of them makes it as an Arsenal regular.Quote:

We've had better crops of young players come through and they've disappointed. Look at Wilshere and Ramsey, they were both doing a lot more than the current batch at their age.
They might not even get an opportunity depending on who the new manager is. Some managers wont even look at the academy players and focus on buying ready made signings. It would be nice if the new manager combines both but I don't have high expectations.
Personally I think AMN & Mavraponos are almost certain to make it. Just need to be funnelled and need some good off-the-pitch guidance to not get involved in the silly shit that Jack did.
BTW, SSN Breaking News is that Enrique & Allegri are our top two targets but both have doubts about the club's management structure.

Why even quote these stories? The press have no clue about what's going on behind the scenes. They're always the last to know what's going on.Quote:

We’ve all said that we have a lot of problems that need addressing and £200m is the minimum that we needs to spend in the current climate.
I like Enrique and Allegri and I will be happy with either of them taking over.
It's fun to speculate though. :bow:Quote:

John Cross can fuck off.
DSL approved that message.
I want them to hurry up on the decision now though, all this nonsense speculation potentially through the World Cup? No thanks.
Agreed. New manager must be confirmed before the world cup.
I thought it was Gunnar Regnew.
