Next Arsenal manager?

[Kano]

but a top tier manager would want a decent budget and support to succeed, not to come in and play the company line and do the minimum. the top tier guys won't be interested in that at all.

we're looking at tier two type managers, or those that have a record of overachieving on smaller resources.

It'll be one of Garde or Stojkovic I think his name is.

Both are Wenger protégés who will move upstairs. Both will toe the company line. Nothing will change. The only question is how much they want in wages and who ever is cheapest will get it.

And Moyes isn't a tier two type. Maybe someone that has done well in the Europa league and won domestic cups at least whilst having a good league record. Or an International manager ready for club football.

that's why i said OR someone who has a good record of overachieving on small resources.

that is one of the biggest criteria they will be looking at.

That could be Tony Pulis of all people.

Not a Moyes fan. He's done a decent job at Everton but he's been there 11 years and they much like us under Wenger have stagnated. He should have taken them to the next level which he hasn't. Everton are a massive club so he has no excuse. It's not like he's managing a Wigan or a WBA where staying up every season is regarded a success. He should have pushed on with Everton and didn't.

Yeah not a big fan either, he's done OK with what he's got and does have an eye for talent, but he does remind me of Wenger a lot although better tactically.

for the amount that ****s spent over the past few years, he should be doing a lot better.

more than all of those. 7th highest in the prem between 03-11. it's part of the reason stoke fans are getting fed up of pulis, because the football is shit, the bedding in period is over now and it's time to start improving. the sell on value of their players is diabolical.

plus i read a stat somewhere a month or so ago that their net spend over the past few years is higher than ours
