Denílson returned to former club São Paulo on loan for the 2011–12 season after confirming he was to leave Arsenal earlier in the summer.[15][16] His No.15 squad number at Arsenal was given to new signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the 2011–12 season.
Denílson was sent off twice in his first three matches, with the latter of the red cards coming after he swore at a referee. Denílson then received a number of angry messages through Twitter. Denílson then branded the fans who moaned about then-head coach of São Paulo Adílson Batista as 'very, very annoying'. Denílson then claimed that he did not mean his comments in a negative way. This was followed by a row which ensued to such an extent that the supporters demanded that Denílson never to play for São Paulo again.[17]

those wanting guardiola need a reality check. why would he come here? yes he'll get top money but it's not like he needs money after the amount of bonus payments into his account after winning all those trophies with barca. also, didnt he spend something like £150m during his time there? he'd never get that here. he may have built a dynasty but that was 20 years in the making, even so, when push came to shove he was given serious financial backing in the transfer market. our board would never finance that even though this squad needs major investment in certain areas. we're looking to break even every transfer window so i doubt pep would risk his reputation by coming here. he could easily go to chelsea and try turning them into another barca with the backing of a rich owner.
secondly, you need someone who is going to carry on the ethos of football at this club. its no good getting a manager who has a totally different mentality and puts 11 men behind the ball because we'll be at cross roads. mcleish goes villa and implements his boring, defensive approach to an expansive squad. it crushed them. hodgson goes to liverpool and tries playing with 10 men behind the ball even though he had an expansive squad. it crushed them. we need someone who carries on our attacking, free flowing footballing brand but isnt as ignorant and stubborn as that french c*nt.
my vote is and always will be klopp. he's like a mini wenger (but better). he has turned dortmund into one of the best attacking teams in europe and all through an ethos of player development (but done properly, none of this wenget bullshit). stuck two fingers up to bayern munich even though they had mega money and dortmund are now ruling germany. they went to city and i dont think ive ever seen city on the back foot like that since they got taken over by sheikh. it was a mauling. he also spoke out the other week about how he hates the likes of city and chelsea for spending shit loads of money and that clubs should be self sustainable. he's almost identical to wenger.
will the board pick the right man? the same board who have let inefficiencies run for donkeys years and turned this football club into a laughing stock on pitch. doubt it. i reckon they'll give bould a go because its the cheap option. either that or that french c*nt will fuck things up by choosing his successor.

Disgraceful how Le Professeur is treated on here
Nah, don't think so, Charles. If he was all about foresight and forward thinking, he would've seen the contract situations of Nasri, Fabregas, van Persie and Walcott two summers ago. He could've seen that this could all explode in his face in a board v player dispute, with him stuck right in the middle.
Managers have left clubs for less when it comes to player sales or acquisitions (see David o Leary leaving Leeds after Rio Ferdinand's departure, or Shevchenko's addition probably starting the chain of events that led to Mourinho leaving Chelsea)

Just to conclude that point, sorry. If he was so serious that he had the club's best interests at heart, we wouldn't have deadwood still on the payroll and our best players leaving with inadequate replacements.
To me, it appears as if we're going a couple of rungs down the ladder every single season. It's not a perpetual vicious circle, it's actually a downward spiral. Wenger and the board may counter such remarks by pointing at league positions every season, but we've been rather fortunate with that in recent years. If Villa had kept their cool in 2009 and Spurs hadn't had such an almighty collapse last season, we'd probably be making stupid documentaries on Channel 5 for a bit of extra revenue.
In essence, no, he's the wrong man to guide us out of this mess he's created, but trying to work out the right man isn't something we can work out just off the top of our heads...
