Wenger - In or out?

[GP]

I think whoever comes in, the days of a really long term manager are over.

Let go of the past. Kill it if you have to.

Aye, I mean I would take pretty much anyone right now for the sake of change. Despite that, I do agree Ancelotti would be the best short term-ish candidate we could get.

Simeone would be my choice, has an eye for talent, drills his teams and makes them very good and very disciplined and contenders for the big prizes. Ancelotti is decent but his performance he's short term, seems to win something big and then starts to struggle a bit and his teams tend to drop off and he gets the sack (been sacked by his last 4 clubs)

Would love Ancelotti.

Would be an upgrade on Wenger and someone that has an excellent track record. Would essentially mean we won't drop off like Utd did when they appointed Moyes. Yes bayern was a failure but he went in after the best manager in the modern era so it was always going to be difficult.

He has beast pedigree and would capture the imagination of the players. A step up from Wenger.

Agreed.

The game is now about hiring someone for 2-3 years, maximising output then bringing the next guy in.

He would be my number one long term choice, he has a very good track record with developing young talents into top class players and his attitude is "winning is everything".

Ironically he took over Atletico when they were in a right mess and turned them from a mid to struggling La Liga side into title winners/challengers and CL challengers.

Would happily take Ancelotti for 2-3 years if it meant we could re-establish ourselves as challengers.

As GP said, long term is dead. I don’t even think the managers themselves are interested in staying more than a few seasons because there’s always another “project” waiting for them.

In fairness the clubs he’s managed would sack pretty much any manager who fell slightly below their sky high expectations. It’s not really a mark against him as a manager.

That's not realistic though. We would never hire Simeone.

Ancelotti though

I think he would be the realistic go to choice if Wenger fucks off in the summer

However a) I don’t think anyone will make Wenger Leave

b) I think even if there is overt interference from Mislintat and the other fella in Wengers transfer dealings. I don’t think Wenger will walk away. As I’ve said for ages, whatever he wanted out of Arsenal in the past his reasons for staying now are guided by fear of retirement.
