How are Arsenal making you feel right now?
Below is a list of candidates, but first let’s look at the need….
What do Arsenal need?
You often learn what you want by seeing what you don’t want.
- We need a fluent English speaking clear communicator.
- We need someone who can balance our style with the need to deny the opponents, not one or the other, as we had with Wenger and Emery.
- Arsenal fans want attacking football but are ok with a more pragmatic approach against better opposition.
- We need a coach who can instill belief in the players to rejuvenate their away form.
- We need someone that agrees with the coaching set up and won’t complain when those above him do their job (sign players) and it doesn’t completely jive with their best thought.
- We want a coach who, after 17 years of being defensively leaky, will promote the need for a dominant DM and back four as a priority.
- A coach who believes in our current set of youngsters.
- A coach that can keep and attract players.
- A coach who can progress the club into the CL, competing for the PL and eventually give us a chance to win one or both.
What’s the attraction of Arsenal?
I’ve said for years that Arsenal is a very attractive job. You could go down in history as the first coach to bring us back to PL glory AND in time, win the CL.*
*We are a mile away right now but with a little time and significantly better coaching it’s not beyond a club of our size.
Lesser clubs have achieved this goal. That’s how I would pitch it.
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world to have never won it.
They could also live in London, have a top salary, a good team with a few holes in the squad that needs balancing and become a hero for returning Arsenal to glory and a legend for doing what nobody has ever done.
Here we go…
Most likely
Mikel Arteta
Club: City assistant coach
Preferred formation: Unknown
Style: He wrote a piece for the .com whilst still at AFC and he stated that if he became a coach he would want a) full commitment b) attacking style c) expressive and entertaining d) not based on the opposition.
Sounds like everything we wished Emery was!
Pep has given Arteta credit for the improvement in Rodri, Mahrez and Sterling in particular.
Thoughts: Much like Freddie, he is an unknown quantity as a head coach but he has had one HUGE advantage…. he has worked with one of the best coaches of all time for 3 years and apparently had a big impact himself.
Carlo Ancelotti
Club: Napoli
Thoughts: Napoli are currently imploding thanks to their goofy owner and his bizarre ideas. If Ancelotti gets fed up I could actually see him taking the AFC job.
I have one huge concern though….
Sounds too much like Wenger to me and our players desperately need coaching.
Freddie Ljungberg
Club: Arsenal Interim
Preferred formation: somewhat unknown as he has been under direction from 1st team.
Style: high energy, attacking coach who believes in a balance between structure and offensive freedom.
Thoughts: Hard to find anything negative written about him as a coach. Players seem to love him, fans already do. Was part of Jonker’s relegation with Wolfsburg but never been the man in charge. Big difference.
Got a feeling that he could be far better than many belief.
Mauricio Pochettino
Club: Available
Max Allegri…
Turned Milan around then turned Juve into a dominant machine. Little concerned at his pragmatic approach rubbing fans the wrong way but clearly significantly better than Unai Emery was. Those that are adamant that Allegri is wrong for Arsenal are forgetting where we are currently and who he is and what he’s achieved.
Erik Ten Haag…
Assisted Pep at Munich and has done a fabulous job at Ajax, returning them to the top table in Europe. Will be snapped up by a bigger club or national team soon, possibly back to Munich.
Julian Nagelsmann …..
Not so young in coaching circles anymore but still only 32!!
Innovative coach who took somewhat of a sideways step in going to Leipzig when Real Madrid were interested. Hipsters choice but also a very smart choice, I believe.
Luis Enrique
A Sanhelli favourite who has just gone back to his National team job. As we all know, many coaches lose their jobs after major tournaments so I think if we choose to wait then Enrique may come back into the mix.
Created a high pressing, energetic team at Barca. Love the hunger he instills but concerned about his stubbornness and short term thinking which were two factors that saw the Roma and Barca fans turn on him.
An improvement on Emery but his lack of tolerance for the media, his imperfect English and lack of warmth with his squads are three factors that will hinder him.
The last two may be a bad memory for the players, one that they don’t wish to revisit.
Not sure how his daughters tragic death will have impacted him to be fair, as it will have had a profound effect, I’m sure.
Jesse Marsch…
Firstly, if you like a motivator, watch the video.
The Red Bull Salzburg coach whose reputation is growing as he gives Liverpool and Napoli fits. Will Stan and Josh be interested in an American? An American who is one of the most impressive and well rounded coaches in Europe. A motivator, a tactical innovator and a great communicator. One to look out for.
Marcelo Gallardo…
The best unknown coach in the world.
The guy who Messi voted in his Top 3 as World Coach of the Year.
River Plate’s highly-rated coach has won everything and is considered the ‘new Pep.’
So much so that the rumor is that he is off to Barcelona.
Everything is there apart from (I believe) being an English speaker.
Marco Rose…
In some ways he could be perfect. The current Bundesliga leader has been credited with having success in every area that Emery is failing at, particularly his ability to be tactically flexible whilst establishing a base style. Just doubtful that Moenchengladbach would let him leave after less than a year or that he would do that to them.
Diego Simeone.... I think if AM sack him he will go to Italy. Would certainly improve Arsenal defensively but much like Allegri, I’m not sure how the fans would go for his style.
Pep Guardiola …. ‘What’s he thinking?’ I hear you say!
Why would one of the two world’s best coaches come to Arsenal?
He thought about it before he went to Munich until Wenger put a stop to it.
I don’t see a guy who looks totally happy at City. I think he may look for another challenge if he feels let down by his City team on or off the field.
I’m sure he’d have bigger clubs interested but I wonder if he would want a different challenge?
I am concerned that his irritation at the British press for being embarrassingly limited in their understanding of the tactical side of the game, will see him leave and not come back though.
THE DECISION
Unless the coach I want is available today, I’d happily keep Freddie Ljungberg in charge. I’d love to think that he could revitalize us and keep the job.
As we’ve seen with many former legends with little experience, the shiny factor can wear off but it could stick too.
This would give Arsenal time to breathe. I’d be actively looking for a permanent coach yet fully committed to Freddie if it works out.
I also think that we could get two ‘bounces.’ One from Freddie and the second from the new appointment, if he’s put in place this season.
I’d approach Pep Guadiola first. Why not? I wouldn’t expect him to say yes but I’d live in regret if I didn’t try, as I’ve got a sneaky feeling he’d be interested. Fully understand that this would mean keeping on Freddie until June.
If Pep wouldn’t take it I’d offer it to Arteta.
I’m not in the camp of being overly concerned about his lack of experience.
For as much as that is a true concern, so is the fact that many of the others are too worn, not as motivated, tactically stubborn, haven’t worked in England and haven’t had the experience of working with Pep like he has.
You’ve got to put it all on the scales and weigh it all up, not simply dismiss him because he’s new.
I’m also not afraid of getting it wrong. If it doesn’t work you move on. Be brave.
I’m also concerned that he may go elsewhere and we’d regret not taking the chance.
My third choice would be Tuchel. Ticks every box apart from PL experience.
If Gallardo can speak significantly better English than Emery, he’d be my fourth choice. If he can’t, I’d approach Jesse Marsch.
There are at least another 10 on this list that I’d be thrilled with so if you get anything from this article, don’t be part of the ‘but who is out there’ crew
Who do I think Arsenal will choose?
Luis Enrique or Thomas Tuchel.
I think Freddie will do well and that Raul will pick one of these two after both are fired in the summer.
Who would you choose and who do you think we will choose?
@mike_mmcdonald
Ishola
I genuinely have no idea how we’ll get on on Monday.
What I will say is that City have been destroyed by the counter attack against Liverpool and today – ManU could’ve easily got a couple more in the first half.
When we play them we need to play as the away team, look to catch them on the break and tell CM to screen the back 4 properly.
A brief snapshot of our 2019 audited financial 1. Our revenue in FY 2019 is down to 367.4 million from 388.6 million last year due to a dip in match day revenue from 99.8 million to 69.3 million. It is important to note that revenue from reaching the finals of Europa League was 36.6 million of the total revenue of 367.4 million. So if we miss out on Europa too this season which looks more and more likely with every passing week, expect our revenue to go well under 350.0 million in FY 2020. 2. Our wage bill has slightly… Read more »
It would be a proper marriage though, a coach who hasn’t won a game in nine matches brought in to coach a team who haven’t won in 7 and counting.
TR7
The only positive is the new shirt deal will be adding in £30 million a season.
We really need to sort our shit out.
Dark times in gooner land. Every other big club in crises can point to some glimmer of hope, something to build on.
What is there about this club to cling unto?
Emery wanted high pressing. Freddi tries to do the same. Our midfield is so open. Look at how Manure defends. Every player keeps his position. It is so difficult to break through.
James was flinging himself to the ground looking for freekicks a few too many times for Man United and in defensive positions.
The Norwegian elf will be having a word.
**wenger never even managed to defend a title.”
I know fucking clown.. Can’t see WTF he done for the club apart from 3 league titles an 7 fa cups
The Norwegian elf will be having a word.
Are you joking me no one wins more pens than United he’ll be delighted
He’ll probably make him do double diving training sessions.
Nelson “Emery wanted high pressing. Freddi tries to do the same. Our midfield is so open. Look at how Manure defends. Every player keeps his position. It is so difficult to break through.” A team should be able to do either. You high press when you want to put pressure on the opposition and pin them in when you are looking for goals and you can drop deeper once you have the confidence that you can protect the lead you may have in a match. Arsenal’s problem atm is that they drop too deep throughout the match whatever the scoreline… Read more »
1 league defeat last season and the CL win and now 16 games undefeated in the current season, Jurgen Klopp is turning out to be a real nemesis and equally great rival of Pep Guardiola.
Marko
“Are you joking me no one wins more pens than United he’ll be delighted”
Yeah but he was doing it in defensive positions on the edge of his own penalty area the Man United penalty area and Man Utd are down a man defensively and are in danger.
TR7,
In the summer I said that financially we were lead by people with Peter Risdale level of incompetence, I was lambasted fit it. It is now written in black or should I say red ink.
However the worse is still to come for at least the next two years. Especially with the additional payments committed by Raul for the next 5 years for Pepe, Saliba and Tierney unless we get Champion’s League football or find suckers to get Özil, Mhkitaryan off our salary wage bill.
Rashford has 16 goals in 33 matches vs the top 6. Think only Aguero and Vardy are clear of him. Aubameyang, Lacazette or Alexis (no goals away to top 6 in PL iirc) are off of that pace.
Marko
“What have we gained in sacking Wenger?
What we’ve gained is that we’ve stopped the declining path that we were on under him and rid ourselves of someone who was sucking the life out of the club and it’s fanbase”
Of course we have stopped the declining path.
we are now on an upward curve.
and the fan base are United and attendances are thriving….
T
“**wenger never even managed to defend a title.”
I know fucking clown.. Can’t see WTF he done for the club apart from 3 league titles an 7 fa cups”
Yeah, dreadful state of affairs , plus he was ten times runners up which is confirmation that he must have been a clown..
City have lost to Man Uat Etihad. So much for Arteta coaching! We do not need him!!
And now the club’s profits are set to fall dramatically despite employing all these financial experts to oversee the club since wenger’s departure.
Valentin I think the problem is not that Raul and Co spent good money last summer but rather that none of the signings made has improved us even one bit. We are regressing as a team which will have severe financial repercussions in terms of losing out on CL/Europa money and even PL money if we finish very low in the table come end of the season. Moreover, due payments from last summer transfer activity and the one previous to that will severely handicap our ability to spend next summer. We are in a precarious situation- both on and off… Read more »

“And now the club’s profits are set to fall dramatically despite employing all these financial experts to oversee the club since wenger’s departure.”
There was always going to be problems with finances as soon as the club failed to get CL football.
And if memory serves right that started two seasons before Wenger’s departure.
Pierre, new shirt and tv deals will kick in, in next year’s accounts so not quite as pessimistic a picture.
Those who want Arteta,should take notice of decaying Man City position. They have lost a home game at Etihad today. We do not need an inexperienced person like Arteta who has never managed a team. Poch shows interest. Get him.
Anybody watching the Joshua/ Riaz fight? Too close to call.
Bob N16
“Anybody watching the Joshua/ Riaz fight? Too close to call.”
I hope the fat cunt knocks out Mr Chiselled again.
I found it funny the first time and I would find it funny again.
I understand where you’re coming from Ishola. If Joshua turns it on and wins it sets up a Wider or Fury fight which would be worth watching and I would interested to see both those match ups. That being said, I wish roll poly Ruiz well and if he wins, so be it.
“ City have lost to Man Uat Etihad. So much for Arteta coaching! We do not need him!!”
Yeh let’s focus on this game and not the total domination of last season.
Ruiz to win.
@TR7 Arsenal buy without a philosophy. They buy just to buy
Edu me a favour you can’t not want someone becsus ethey lost s football match
What’s wrong with you fans these days ? Ffs
I got Joshua winning he took Ruiz lightly last time it won’t happen again imo

Man City with their oil billions is sliding.Pep worked with best players at Barca, Bayern and City bought a few with petro dollars. Pep would not know what to do at Arsenal in this situation.His side kick Arteta has no chance. The list given above contains managers who had never pulled up the team sliding towards the bottom. Klopp’slast season at Dortmund was similar to this situation and he gave up andtook exile for many months. The person best suited is Rafa who dealt with relegated Newcastle, and brought them back to PL. He has experience and can arrest the… Read more »
Right now, all that Arteta has over Freddie (apart from more hair) is that he’s sat next to Pep for 3 years. Arteta is not only inexperienced, he’s never managed a team in his life while Freddie has. The Arsenal job is way bigger than both Arteta and Freddie. The club already got it wrong with Emery, who on the surface and based on what he had achieved with Sevilla, appeared to be exactly what Arsenal needed. Eighteen months later and having sacked him, it should be clear to the club hierarchy what sort of manager is required long-term. There… Read more »

If Wright was playing for Arsenal today, he’d probably have similar or better numbers than Rashford. I’m… Read more »

What a shit fight.
This is the equivalent of Port Vale vs Torquay.
AJ v Big Dunc is the fight the world really want to see.
(England V Scotland)
And I am buying Big Duncan- if todays passion from the touchline is replicated in the boxing ring.
Red, appreciate the jab. AJ fought the best fight. If you don’t see that, you’re not a fan of boxing.
Ian Wright was better than any striker playing for man u today
He was amazing better than Vardy as well by a mile
Redruth told me,Ian was vastly overrated.

Sultry afternoon. Waiting for the storm front. Drinking G & T in the backyard. I got really offended at photos of the players after the Brighton game, hands on hips, looking exasperated, as if to say ‘How on earth did that one slip away from us?’
I’ll tell you fucking why you pampered, gutless, solipsistic, quiche eating soft boys. Because you’re fucking shit. That’s why!
Fucking had enough of you men’s minge lickers. Fuck you. Fuck you all. Bring back the Dread Dormannu. He’d sort you stealers of washing from a girls school clothesline. Fuck you!
The current top 6 in the premier league all have better squads than us.
Injuries and tedium have set in at City. Pep will walk at the end of this season.
Arteta isn’t coming to us.
Apparently Pochettino can’t join any other team until the summer otherwise they have to negotiate with Levy and pay Pochettino’s compensation.
Pochettino isn’t coming to us.
Ljungberg has shown he is infected with Wengemery disease.
The financials are terrible.
We’re fucked.
Bob16, “new shirt and tv deals will kick in, in next year’s accounts so not quite as pessimistic a picture.” You must have looked at the account with rose tainted glass, because the new commercial deals will bring only an extra 30 millions per years, but we have committed more than twice of that for the June 2019 net spend. That extra 30 millions will also be absorbed by the annual payment for Pepe, Saliba and Tierney for the next 4 years. However if we don’t qualify for the Europa League (and looking at the current position we may not… Read more »

Benny, this same squad finished 2 points off 3rd. We have a strong squad of players. We’ll be fine.
good one Pedro. Those players, bar few and youngsters are done at top level/Arsenal.
Every season is different. No one fears those sissies anymore. Just watch today’s PL games. 2 levels above Arsenal atm

I am watching this club falling apart. SPURS replaces their coach with a proper coach at once. We want to gamble on someone who has hardly any top team coaching experience. He is officially a caretaker. He doesn’t seem to know how to fix the midfield and defense. I have a feeling the players don’t respect him as a coach. Auba wants to leave and is down tooling. Players are arguing among each other. We don’t have CB’s who can defend. The fans are getting toxic. They are more interested in arguing about Wenger. What a waste of time!
Some reports saying the favourite at the dinner party table was arteta but that they will still require him to do an extensive interview I’ve always been frank about seeing him as an illogically high risk choice but if he gets the job then all that won’t matter and I will give him my full blessing. But make no mistake this is a huge task to turn this ship around right now. Whoever the next guy is has a massive job on his hands and if it is arteta and if he delivers meaningful progress I will give him all… Read more »
One thing that is critical is that in Jan and the summer we need to take a chainsaw to the bad personalities of this squad It’s less about ability imo. We really do have a lot of talented players. But the willingness to down tools and general lack of care is incredibly concerning. We need players who feel pride to wear the shirt and are chomping at the bit for their chance to make it at arsenal, like martinelli. Experienced journeymen can do a job but only as part of a solid setup. As soon as crisis hits like now,… Read more »
What exactly is Arteta learning from Pep this season? How to throw away the title before Xmas? Good for Arteta to learn from both side of the spectrum: winning and losing. But surely Arteta learnt enough from Wenger about losing and not winning league titles, right. I mean how long did Wenger go without winning the PL? 14 years? But sure Wenger did win 3 FA cups in 14 years.

It seems very harsh to write someone off after two games but if Ljungberg wants to avoid this fate in the eyes of most Arsenal fans, he must begin making player selections that make sense.

“Freddie Ljungberg- Arsenal legend, Invincible – is the rat in the room” : Mr.Receding H
Anything goes, if it makes my lover Emery appear less of a failure.
There are a lot of hatred on Xhaka and Ozil on this site. Of the starting 11 in last game, only Xhaka, Ozil and Luiz can pass the ball properly. The rest are runners, including our two strikers. The worst is Willock.
Fool!!
Was Ljunberg an invincible as a coach or a player? What has his being an invincible 15 years ago have to do with his coaching? Nothing at all.
Anything to get in a lover and gay jibe. You have no substance as a poster so going forward I won’t rise to your provocation because I know where it’s leading, to a childish gay jibe.

Kay boss
Pepe came on Thursday night and transformed our attack. We looked much more dangerous with him on because he creates space for others. They doubled up on him every time he got the ball and created a great chance for Aubameyang with a run right through their team and slipped a lovely ball behind only for auba to fluff it
He needs it on a plate in the box or he’s just likely to lose the ball
Graham
I honestly don’t know how we will do against West Ham. I’m expecting nothing anymore
I just hope Freddy starts Pepe martinelli and Lacazette and no sign of Luiz or Mustafi at the back
Emery
Gallardo
Ten Hag
Tuchel
Has to be one of those four for me.
Un Pepe was good for 15/20 minutes against Brighton and then tended to overdo things and lost possession time and time again . This contributed to Arsenal losing control of the game . He wasnt the only one who was wasteful in the last half hour of the match, it was throughout the team .
