Who's Next?

1) Simeone is my number one pick though I think there's no chance he's leaving Athletico who thanks to Barca's Arsenalesque collapse have a shot of winning another title. The fact that Chelsea appointed Conte over him leads me to believe that he doesn't want to come to England no matter the offer.

2) Thomas Tuchel. Despite Dortmund's collapse against Liverpool last week, they've been really really good this season.

Agree with both points. Tuchel is doing very good work at Dortmund and has them playing some very good offensive football, I question him tactically though, they are a little bit too open for my liking, even in the Bundesliga.

Honestly we are getting into stupid territory, the kind of nonsense where someone said Pulis was a better manager based on having beaten Mourinho in the premier league.

Winning the title with City is ten times less of an achievement than it is with Arsenal, and yes i believe if the likes of Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini can do it than Wenger even in his current decline could as well.

Honestly? I don't think Wenger would have won the league with City.

I think he would have done, in the same way I am pretty sure Roberto Mancini nor Manuel Pellegrini would have ever won the title with Arsenal at any time.

You put Bilic on your shortlist. That's probably a bigger gamble than Pellegrini.

I think Bilic has over achieved with West Ham, where as considering the squad at his disposal i think Pellegrini has underachieved with City

Well i say under achieved, he has achieved what he is capable of as a very average manager. I would also add a very average and old manager....two years younger than Wenger but makes him look youthful

Fair play and I respect your opinion. I personally think both Wenger and Pellegrini are flawed Managers, as is Mancini. They all lack tactical nous that for me puts them a level below the likes of Klopp, Pep, Simeone & Maureen.

Oh i agree, my assertion is that Wenger is no worse than Pellegrini/Mancini....but yes i think the others are all better

Just corrected you there, and i'd still dismiss Ranieri as a replacement now.

Replacing your speculation with mine is correction.
Way to go Einstein.

Yours is definitive No, mine is admitting I don't know.

All managers are flaws and one mistake I feel the I HOPE WENGER DIES PAINFULLY (may be a slight exaggeration) brigade make is to think that Wenger has all these flaws which he's suddenly developed and the next bloke won't have any.
The truth is Wenger has always had these flaws, they were just masked in the past by his strengths which in the early days gave him a massive advantage over the rest. Others soon adapted and he no longer has that edge.
And of course the next bloke will have flaws. Klopp spent most of last season battling relegation with Dortmund. Maureen pissed off people at Chelsea so much that he created such a toxic atmosphere that the reigning champions were in a relegation scrap till they got rid.
They all have flaws and one problem I see is the situation at each club is different. Success at one club doesn't guarantee success at Arsenal, and I guess failure at another club doesn't guarantee failure at Arsenal.
