realistic new manager

You couldn't have Adams, there is just no justification in his record to merit - albeit I do agree that footballers are an odd crop & most of the time (bar Shearer at Newcastle) a big name who is not necessarily a great manager can reap rewards.

Most people would agree Woy is a better manager than Kenny, outscores him on most aspects yet the latter waltzes back in after a decade away and with younger players turns a club around.

I wouldn't object to Adams around the club. There are some good candidates for a number two role to a new manager with strong links to the club Adams would be one, O'Leary & Brian McDermott would be far better candidates, maybe Bould too, Remi Garde seems to be doing well.

But it would need a new manager to want them, he'd like come in with his own crowd like 'Arry.

This, we need more old heads at the club tbh. A new no 2 is a must pat rice was clueless in the cl games so far. wenger should have let him go least season tbh.

Not read what everyone has said but seen enough to already piss me off. Realistically their is only one manager in the world that is beyond us, Sir Alex- and even he was gagging to come at a certain point. We remain the third richest club in the world, the biggest club in footballs biggest footballing city and contrary to indications, AW is among the best paid sporting managers in the whole world!! To any sensible person the question should be who wouldn't want to come to Arsenal, especialy given the support AW enjoys.ications, AW is among the best paid sporting managers in the whole world!!

Won't get any of the big name managers. Would love Hiddink here but why would he come here?So that means we have to either promote from within which won't change much or get a young upcoming manager.Dennis Bergkamp anyone?.....

There's only one guy who could do the job and might be available and that's Mourinho. It would be a short term deal, maybe a year or two, but he'd turn this team into winners again and bitch slap that fucked up anti-football board of ours and shake their wallets out. Hiddink is a good shout too but I don't think he'd turn things around as fast as Maureen could. Plus we'd be mega-controversial again, hated and Fergie would be all over our case on a daily basis - sure signs of success. Final plus, players would be queuing up to come here - granted for all the wrong reasons but haven't we had enough of this boring building for a future that never comes shit? Time to live a little, put some fun back into the football lark. Oh and the Chelski mob would be blue with rage, let's get it done in the summer.

Best manager in the business. I'd love him here. Pisses the fuck out of his rivals and won't stand for any BS with the board. He'd never come though. Why when managing the biggest club in the world would he want to drop a few hundred levels to manage a laughing stock like us? I guess the challenge of turning us great again is appealing but can't see what else about the club we can sell him to tempt him to come here?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

there's plenty of managers around the world who could manage us.

who'd heard of AVB before he went to chelsea? not many. and he looks like a decent manager thus far. done a great job at porto too.

although i have no faith whatsoever in the current mob on our board instilling a competent successor to wenger.

Benitez? Are you guys kidding me? That guy is a joke.
Out of all the names so far the only one that has me anywhere near interested would be O'Neill. He's proven to be a very capable manager over the years. I think you have to look at who would make the team worse, before better. Benitez has the potentially to royally fuck up the team for years to come.

To me Ancelotti is just a "yes man" so I don't think he'd be a safe pair of hands, he's used to his bosses calling the shots and I think we'd all agree that we're not massive fans of the board.
