It's onwards and upwards for Eddie!
Prior to becoming player-manager at Corby Town he had a brief spell as commercial manager. In 2008 he was confirmed as the under-14s manager at Northampton Town,[2] and the following year he stepped up to become manager of the club's youth team.
Mike Tyson would be a good choice, they wouldn't fuck with him. Or Paulo DiCannio, Eric Cantona, basically anyone who will resort to violence in board meetings.
Für eure Sicherheit
Les Reed is the only choice.![]()
steve bould.
worked for barca, he knows the club inside out and will teach the defense.
klinsmann. done a great job with germany and loves youth. could fit in well.
ancelotti. wants to come back to premier league so could be tempted even though he's at PSG.
rodgers. rumours are hes being lined up for chelsea as he's an ex chelsea lad. but he'd come here.
rijkaard. managing in saudi arabia and long been attributed for laying much of barca's current success.
klopp.
there are managers out there.
wenger out.
Good list and post HCZ
Personally I've mentioned practically all those names in the last 4-5 years, trying to get the Arsene Fanatics to see that there is life, and life more abundant after sliced bread.
Anyway I said it 2 years ago, that the way things were going the least the highest paying fans in the world would deserve is a Mourinhoesque deliverer- 8 missed trophies later (and don't forget to add the price increases attributed to watching this cumless football), that sentiment still remains strong.
I firmly believe in our current state and with the rag-tag army we have at our disposal, only 2 managers could guarantee us trophies almost instantly:
1. Guss Hiddink: The best experienced European manager around, a worker of miracles, an all round football man and frankly the best fit for Arsenal bar none.
2,Jose Mourinho: A distant second, but far superior to all other contenders mainly because of our (and "our" here means fans, players and even the board) pressing need for something that resembles silverware in the not too distant future.
I mentioned Klopp long ago, probably before anyone else in this forum but that was when things hadn't sunk this low. At the moment the pressure on any manager after AW would disadvantage the likes of Klopp, Pep or any other manager with one club success- we need a man, someone who has seen pressure in almost all it's forms and realises this job is doable. Thus 3rd choice would be a LVG.
And for those discounting Mourinho because "we don't need that sort", you are making the mistake that we, AW and the board have been making for almost 7 years now. It sounds stupid but what's the use of always being perturbed about the big picture when your Artist can't even draw? If we get a coach who can actually COACH this team, then the rest will fall in place (FFS look at Man U).
