Don Raul sliding into Poch’s DMs?

by .

The BIG news hitting the Twitter waves last night was the Sami Mokbel story about Poch being on the out. An exit plan has been touted and the internal noise is the team is bracing for the sweet long goodbye.

If Jose Mourinho looked sexy to Don Raul, surely the idea of stealing Spurs most successful manager since 1745 would be the coup of the century?

The Spurs manager could be the Sol Campbell move of 2019. He speaks great English, his players love working with him, and he’s dragged Spurs to a European Cup final working on beans.

Arsenal would represent a bigger club. They’d back him with more money. Arsenal’s postcode means he wouldn’t need to move.

Sure, he’d have to wear a bullet proof vest. He’d not be able to walk the streets alone. He might have a pigs head thrown at him.

… but that’s show business baby.

I know it is highly unlikely we’d make a move as bold as that, but damn, there’s no coach more suited to picking up this current Arsenal squad than him ‘if’ he comes onto the market.

Players would pay attention to him, the guy has sauce and builds great relationships with players. The fact he’s kept so much talent there underpaid tells you all you need to know about his ability to create, sell, and manage a vision. His football is high octane pressing. Sure, it’s not Thomas Tuchel levels of tactical fluidity, but his football is built for the Premier League and a huge step up from Emeryball. Ultimately, if he becomes available, there’s no better coach in the world for a midseason switch.

I’d say, fuck the sabattical, come to the Arsenal and we will treat you like a king.

Fuck Spurs.

Also, I LOVE that the managers they are being linked to are Carlo, Eddie Howe and a Nagelsmann. Beautiful.

Some Spanish papers are reporting that Enrique is lining up the Arsenal job. A little more Raul, a little more the mates network. That would be so on brand for Raul. Would be £14m a year badly spent in my opinion. Let’s hope that noise is simply Enrique’s PR people desperately muddying the waters in the hope someone will bite on the rotten bait.

Someone that’s certainly making noises in the press is LTs agent. He’s making life hard for Emery because he feels affronted that he’s being used like a square peg in a bonfire. Can’t disagree if I’m honest.

That said, I struggle with LT in the Premier League. He’s very small and he doesn’t counter that with Kante like power and pace. He’s a little lost in our team and I fear he’s not a fit for the cold weather of the UK. That said, he had a great game last night for Uraguay. How can you judge any DM in an Unai Emery system playing as a 10?

What a last sentence that was. Reread it. That’s Arsenal 2019 baby.

New topic.

I think the Arsenal equivalent of finding out a relative is a racist on the internet is following someone on Twitter, thinking they’re a beast analyst for pointing out Emery’s weaknesses, then suddenly realizing this analytical prowess wasn’t there when Wenger was the coach. It’s quite spectacular that some of these data people spent 10 years ignoring the obvious, now they’re out here conducting their Advanced Analytics PHD on ousting Emery.

Staggering lack of self-awareness.

Anyway, I don’t know why I started off on that? I think I read someone complaining that the .com had not offered up congrats to Wenger on his new job ‘managing world football.’ Now, let me explain this once, and once only.

Arsenal.com people know that Wenger wanted to get back into football. They worked with him daily. They heard the stories, saw the man in action, followed his life in great detail.

Wenger, sadly, has resorted to taking a ceremonial desk job at the most corrupt organisation in the western world.

The reason the .com didn’t celebrate his job is because it would have been disrespectful.

It’d be like getting fired from your global operations role at Nike, struggling to find a job for 16 months, then having the main Nike Twitter handle congratulate you on your new job as a bin man..

Still, at least the fans would be saying, ‘HE RUNS GLOBAL BINS BRUH HE’S ON TOP OF THE WORLD.’

Right, on that note, I’m still promoting my podcast.

Listen. It’s a good one.

I don’t care one little bit about what happens at Spurs. If it is Maurine, well, lots of fun (not really) and games! The real, the real danger is Arsenal doesn’t sack Emery now, today. Almost certainly he will be gone in the Summer, but by then we will probably lose Torrero, Laca, Bellerin, Auba (may be), Leno (may be), as well as (hopefully) Mustafi, Xhaka (already gone), Kola (if he can getaway), Ozil (please, please), and our loanee from RM. NONE OF THESE PLAYERS WANT TO PLAY FOR ARSENAL. NO CL, NOT EVEN EL NEXT YEAR. DIRE, YES, SAD,… Read more »

Think you are probably right about the end of the season ES, but still worry the slightest excuse, they could keep him beyond, although, as Pedro says, the players will most likely ensure that does not happen.
But Emery could do untold damage between now and May, or for that matter, between now and New Year.
They guy is driving players out, it will be a tall order for the new man when he arrives.
If emery is destined to leave this summer, really hope the board do have something planned

Marko

Universally unpopular sacking looks like it’s going to be met by a universally unpopular replacement manager.

You hate to see it.

Bojangles

Maureen to spuds will not be popular with their fans, some even preferring Wenger over him… Lol.

Emiratesstroller

David Smith At the moment it would seem that the most likely player departures are Torreira and Guendouzi. Neither decision is dependent on Emery staying or leaving. My information is that Torreira is unsettled in London and that has nothing to do with his place in team. Xhaka has burned his bridges. The two major concerns for me and I suspect many others is whether Aubameyang and Lacazette will sign new contracts before the end of season. If not they will be sold. My guess is that the current standoff has a lot to do with who will manage Arsenal… Read more »

Can’t believe that Poch got sacked. I never liked the guy anyways but it’s still a bit sad in a way. I hope we stay away. Not because he’s not good enough, but because I don’t want him to be in charge of the Arsenal. I guess that the wound was deep and irrepairable for his story at spuds to end in such a way. He’s much better than almost anyone else they could hire imo. I’m sure the fans would have understood if spuds were to have an off-year and not finish in top 4 as long as they… Read more »

What amazes me is that Spuds have crippling debts from their stadium build, but can still fire Poch and potentially hire Jose. Both will cost the club serious amounts of cash in compensation and Jose requiring blank cheques for players. Perhaps Levy is banking on Jose talking contract rebels into signing new contracts. Going to be interesting how this story unfolds, but also seems to be a frantic move on Levy’s part as Spuds need CL money to service their debts. Hopefully the future for Spuds is a downward Jose spiral. Pedro I can, at a push, a big one… Read more »

So Poch leaves Spuds and Mourinho takes over. Absolutely fantastic. Even if they do finish ahead of us for a season or two he will destroy that club from within. I would take Poch. I suspect he has an extra gear, given the right backing and support at a proper club like Arsenal. Also, he’s not disliked by the fans like a Mourinho would be. How would Mourinho handle a club in transition with no funds and needing to re-build – I think most of their players are still on low contracts which they can’t really afford to renegotiate now?… Read more »

I’m glad Spuds took Mourhino off the market.

I think Poch had to go. His record in 2019 has been progressively worsening- they were very lucky to get top-4 ahead of us, had Auba not missed that penalty in the NLD…who knows?

Get Poch IN, Raul!! Just DO it!

it really couldn’t be better timed, could it?

Relationship between Poch seems to have broken down over the last few months and this has transmitted to the team. Under this circumstance, I’m sure he would be keen to jump from the cess pit to the chalice.

“I would take Poch. I suspect he has an extra gear, given the right backing and support at a proper club like Arsenal.”

At a proper club like Arsenal?

Sorry Moray no insult intended but ……………..

Arsenal can’t see the wood for the tress as far as firing Emery is concerned.

Reactive Raul & the current geriatric board running a proper club? – don’t make me laugh!

They bring procrastination to a new level never seen before.

Sorry, he might not have won anything but his football style is very similar to wengers in that he likes his team to play attractive football. I’d take him in a heartbeat. Not saying he’d win us the league as competition is so fierce these days with oil money etc etc. But he’d definitely get us playing some good football and he’d fill up the stadium again. Last few years let’s be honest even in wengers final season, football wise we have been playing shite clueless football.

Rambo Ramsey

Yes, lets hire the potless chump that was fired by fvcking Spuds.

Poch will NOT be coming to Arsenal.

Arsenal fans calling for the hire if Spurs sacked manager who won nothing in five and a half years and has had a relegation league form since January.

siddharth14

Poch should have stepped down with dignity at the end of the Champions’ League Final. That was literally the zenith he and spurs achieved there. From then on it was always going to be a struggle. The signs were already evident in their remarkable season last year. Another hallmark of great managers is the timing of their departure. They always seem to get the hunch about the time being ripe for a goodbye. Sir Alex, Pep Guardiola and Zidane come to mind. Those three have left their respective club at the peak. I suspect, Klopp would be doing the same… Read more »

Wow. I didn’t think Poch would be such an unpopular choice. Give him more resources, which we have, and he will definitely start to put some pots in the cupboard.

Whoever Spuds bring in, they should experience a new manager bounce. IT’s more important than it ever has been for us to take action on our underperforming manager, or else we could be completely out of it come the new year…

“But, i will always have Klopp at the top of that greatest manager list if he were to win the league. Especially considering that he assembled a superb squad with relatively modest budget outlay.”

If you are using those metrics then the greatest manager would be wenger .

However, personally I believe Ferguson was the greatest premier league manager with Pep 2nd and Wenger 3rd.

Klopp may go on to win a title or 2 and things may look different in a few years time.

I’m probably in the minority here but I’m so unconvinced by Arteta… especially when there are candidates like Nagaelsmann about.

Leedsgunner

… they were linked heavily with him.

Leftsidesanch

Spurs may break their trophy duck under Jose.

Chris

It will be fascinating to see how this plays out for Spurs and Mourinho. I have no doubt they will now go on a strong run of results to climb the table, however unless Mourinho truly is that changed man that people speak of, it is questionable whether he will reach the end of that contract in 23 before it starts to go sour, as is evidenced almost everywhere he has been in his managerial career.

Unai

Bo, if he gets them back in top 4 this year, has them competing next then falls back to 3rd/4th for 2 seasons I think Spurs will take that.

I highly doubt ges taken this job without some guarantee of investment either.

This could turn out to be very bad news for us.

Leftsidesanch

On the other hand, the players seem to have had a great relationship with Poch so some of them may feel this is the opportunity for a change of scenery.

Anybody read the football365 article on stats per team? Arsenal is ranked dead last for interceptions. Basically we let them have the ball and never nick the ball back. Of course playing a DM in a DM to intercept the ball would help. Xhaka was Less Gilberto Silva ‘The invisible wall’ and more the ‘No wall’ option.

The fact that Spurs have decided to get rid of Poch speaks volumes about their club management being proactive and taking risky decisions rather than taking a safety first approach, continuing to dither and ultimately spectacularly failing when push comes to shove and doing a royal mess in terms of a new hire. Spurs have done the right thing in parting ways with Poch. You cannot question it from any angle whatsoever. I doubt if we will ever see such bold decisions taken by our club anytime soon.

Jose will likely give them a trophy, EFL/ FA Cup which nobody likes to see but it’s a silver lining for AFC because he will now never manage at the Emirates. Unai remains a when not an if and when that comes it’s time to appoint a dynamic forward thinking coach, not a dinosaur. The Poch disaster started when he was linked to bigger fish, Levy couldn’t deal with that and tried to pull internal strings to undermine him. I’d take him in a heartbeat over UE but he’ll be away to Europe.
