Not really no, Grant and Benitez were/are short term, the rest came in in the hope of success but failed, so they got sacked, they didn't just come in for one season to pick up a pay check, Scolari, Hiddink etc had repuations to protect as well after all they had achieved a decent amount in the game...the Russian sacked them but I'm sure that wasn't their plan.Originally Posted by Noel_Quinn
Who would you like to see come in Zimm?
Serious question. I'm flummuxed, tbh. I like the idea of Gaurdiola, and I could see it happening, if, and only if the board allowed him time and money to do the job....I'm really not keen on a "Rogers" or a "Moyes"....you really have to have something special to take on a big job, and it's not just about managing a team...it's all the politics, media, marketing, charisma and savvy that somes with it....
Difficult.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Sounds like a Jose. As good as he is, just can't stand the media cirus that comes with him. Id like Pep tbh, it would be good to see him build a team outside of spain. He'd bring in his own coaches and get the lads playing his way. The media seem to love him too. Might even bring Cesc back.
Some say Klopp. though i think he could be chav bound tbh.
"I really like Arsenal. Do you really like Arsenal, or only Arsenal with trophies?" - Dennis Bergkamp.
"Which Arsenal do they want back, the one Arsene created?" - Tony Adams.
if it wasn't their plan then they sure as hell have made it the template for the club for the foreseeable future. NO manager, regardless of the contract they are given when they walk through the door, will be thinking long term. 6 months at best will be their vision as the russian at the club has created a clear cut policy of sacking any manager that he fears will not win a trophy. that's all he cares about because he runs the club as his little toy, only there to show off to his mates the shiny trophies HE has won. I'm pretty sure that is how he see's it too, with little or no credit given to the managers and players because he knows he runs the show from top to bottom. chelsea fans are just as embarrassed about their club as we are about ours at the moment.
