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
I see KSE Bamford is spouting same old shit on Arseblog.
Graham Do you think it bothers me if a bunch of clueless idiots disagree with me . I’ve had it before from them and was proved correct and I will be proved correct this time. They will try and ignore that the WOBS constant negativity towards the club has had no effect on the present situation but I’m afraid the reality is , their behaviour has done untold damage to the club and you are part of that. So let them come out out with their clever,snide remarks but at the end of the day the WOBS need to take… Read more »

“Get rid of the cancer that is Ozil and bring in a proper creative midfielder with fight and we’ll be instantly better.Grealish would be a great replacement.Get rid of Mustafi, Sokratis and Luiz and bring in Dunk and Lundstram.Get the Brighton manager.Job done.”
A comment of pure ignorance by someone who goes with the flavour of the day.
Brighton beating Arsenal means nothing .
Brighton had lost their 3 previous games before thursday night , I didn’t hear you singing his praises last weekend .
What happens when he loses his next 3 games …would you still want him.
Pierre,
Pedro wanted Wenger out, as evidenced by the tweet Benny posted earlier.
Since you’ve included Pedro into your group of vile, brainless, clueless idiots, why don’t you fuck off and start your own blog?
I think we know which area of the pitch Chelsea are going to spend that Hazard money.
“Do you also go fishing?”
He does daily, on Le grove. And so many fall for it hook, line and sinker.
No wonder he calls you know nothings.
Pierre Just a small point that will have escaped you. The “WOB”‘s as you describe them are far more prevalent on here than they were at the stadium. After years of slowly watching the club get worse and worse, Wenger making terrible signings, losing players because they wanted to compete, not getting results against the “big” teams, embarrassing results ie conceding 5,6 or 8 goals. After all this what did a lot of fans who’d had it with Wenger do – they stayed away. If you look at the demonstrations that did happen they were all pretty small, there were… Read more »
Classic Walcott right there.
Benny “People polluting the feeds that moving him on was a bad move are willfully reimagining the past decade.” It’s nothing to do with moving him on was a bad move , it’s the ten years of negativity from the WOBS that have eaten away at the club and the only person who protected the players from the media and WOBS was Wenger. The team now have to take the negativity on their own and it is impossible to play at your best without the support of the fans and with the constant bashing by the media and online. I… Read more »
Yep, Binford’s haunting Arseblog now
sal
That comment can be taken 2 ways depending of your view of Walcott!
To me that screams he’s just missed a fairly easy chance.
“Sacking Wenger and appointing Emery were two completely separate decisions. One being wrong does not make the other wrong as well.“ Doesn’t work that way though, the decisions are completely welded. We didn’t get rid of Wenger to get rid of Wenger, we got rid to replace him. So getting rid to replace him with a worse manager made getting rid a poor choice. There’s no ‘yea but getting rid was a good thing’, we’ve went backwards, it wasn’t. Only ever made sense to get rid smartly and we failed at that, you could accept initial regression with the right… Read more »

That would be the direction I was taking it, then easily dispossessed attempting to dribble.

Sorry but you’re wrong.
Getting rid of Wenger was the right thing to do – should have been sooner truth be told.
We fucked up replacing him but saying that means we should’ve kept Wenger is just bonkers.
Marc You’re not stupid . The WOBS had the anti Arsenal media behind them all of the way , radio shows like talksport were constantly putting the club down and would encourage WOBS to phone in . The pre match discussion on sky and BT before an Arsenal game was always negative . It was a constant drip drip feed of negativity that Wenger had to fight against and to his credit , he did it with dignity and took the brunt of the criticism. You say it was Wenger that did the damage to the structure of the club… Read more »
Marc
Yes, our complete turmoil on every level shows how grand a decision it was.
We didn’t plan for succession, nor execute with any sort of clear strategy. Getting rid of Wenger under those conditions wasn’t the right decision. You can bang your drum as much as you like in face of the stark reality, but there’s nothing gained from it, you’re just venting your Arsene issues.
And no, I didn’t say we “should’ve” kept him, I said we’d have been no worse, arguably better off, keeping him the extra season – massive difference.
If/when we have success on the pitch, all these so called managerial deficiencies at the top will not be heard. Pierre, have u bethroted your daughter to ozil? The way u defend everything he does is astonishing. Talking about coaches, I think Gallardo and Jesus of Flamengo will be top of my list. David Wagner of Schalke will be worth the try. This sort of nationalistic view on players is becoming boring and irritating. We have to sign players who will help the club not bcoz they are English. For Dunk, I concur. Guy is defensively solid. But he’s done… Read more »
Pierre
The club is “collapsing” because performances on the pitch are so bad.
You are relishing what’s happening because you see it as a way of attacking those who attacked Wenger and who attack Ozil.
You need to remember your history back to where we were in the summer of 96. We brought in a new manager who turned things round from a dire position with a change of mentality and a couple of signings.
With the right managerial appointment we can do the same.
Everton is leading 3 – 1
Sending strength and courage to all contributors of Arseblog.

You seem to be having a “Valentin” moment.
“And no, I didn’t say we “should’ve” kept him, I said we’d have been no worse, arguably better off, keeping him the extra season – massive difference.”
So we shouldn’t have kept him but we should have kept him the extra season.
Wenger had become a cancer, the chemo might seem worse than the disease but it needed to be done.
Ferguson looking like a manager in his first game.
Everton are getting a new manager bounce which is just the most basic reaction from the players.
…something Freddie couldn’t even summon
This new Everton coach is quite an energetic fellow. We need this type of person in our club. Our players are too passive.
Nelson
On the way back to the pub post match Thursday night you could hear the same comment being made all over the crowd.
“other clubs get a new manager, even a temporary one after someone who wasn’t working and they get a bounce – why don’t we”.
Ljungberg seriously needs to get back to basics and quickly.
Marc
There you go, unable to process what’s being said so you start your petty bollocks.
“So we shouldn’t have kept him but we should have kept him the extra season.“

Mate you are lost. Try sticking to an opinion rather than deciding which way the wind blows that day. You’re a mental midget.
Advocating Lundstrum ffs. Are you going off the fantasy premier league score he has? Of course you are cos you’re a muppet. He hasn’t played cb once this season and sheff united play 3 of them.
Clown.
SamesongIf you were an Everton player would you risk the wraith of “Dunk & Disorderly
No.

Wenger made the heinous crime of finishing outside of the top 4 two seasons in a row.
Don’t try and rewrite history – you’ll lose. There is no justification for saying Wenger should not have been sacked.
Marc
‘ Ljungberg seriously needs to get back to basics and quickly’
You are erroneously assuming there’s a second act to Freddie
What you’ve seen so far is the cream. It will only get worse, maybe you;re waiting for the shellacking that will occur against Westham, city and Everton.

There you go getting caught saying something contradictory or factually wrong so you start trying to play the intellectual hand.
Elite evasion.
This post especially the Freddie parts looks like it was written before the two games he took charge of.
Pierre
You’re bang on the money and these so called cunt ‘fans’ should be embarrassed but they won’t be they just double down on their idiocy.
Dissenter
I’m hoping and expecting that the squad we have is capable of performing better than it has this season. I’m not suggesting we’re going to compete for the PL but we all know that this squad of players is capable of more.
After Emery decided that the way to get out of a hole was to dig even faster, Ljungberg seems to be following the same concept.
Thats Arsenal in eleventh place with Everton leapfrogging.
Marc
There’s absolutely no evasion. You’ve created an alternative view because you can’t process what I’ve said and insist on filling in or assuming so you’ve something to wobble over.
Here you go, nice and slow:
We’d have been no worse, arguably better, if Wenger had continued for another season.
Now explain to everyone where I say he “should’ve” stayed the extra year.
Double big Dunk’s salary and bring him to Arsenal.
Guy is a fucking nutcase. Just what we need at Arsenal.
I suspect he will become an excellent manager.
Few things from the Everton Chelsea match …
a) I’d forgotten what a vile cunt Darren Ferguson was. Just seeing his face is repulsive.
b) Why can’t Arsenal have any sort of new manager lift like that?
As a club it seems we’re just not allowed the normal joys in football like other clubs because those laws don’t apply to us. Is it because of our ‘values’? lol …

We brought in a new manager who turned things round from a dire position with a change of mentality and a couple of signings.With the right managerial appointment we can do the same.” This is different…The reality is the team’s confidence is rock bottom and by January we will be within touching distance of the bottom 3 unless a miracle happens.

Pol Pot would be envious of the silly attempts to burnish Wenger last decade. He has to kill of hundred of thousands of educated people to attain his goals.

Totally amazed you have Freddie anywhere on the list, clear from his two games, he has not got a fucking clue.

Seriously!
Good start from big Dunc!

That’s the job of the new manager. It’s why clubs sack failing managers you do realise that. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but not making a change when things aren’t working because you can’t guarantee the outcome – sorry but that’s not how anything in life works.
Dissenter
Yet more verbal diarrhoea coming from you.
I suspect he will become an excellent manager.“
While i just bemoaned not having that at Arsenal, I think it will be short lived. His flame may burn bright but it will not burn for long. I think he’ll be a failure long term. He’s also a vile cunt.
Moray
Agree it’s got to be Duncan Ferguson! At least he showed some passion for the club pre-match! If Big Dunc is not available/in prison then Simione. Why should we accept other clubs cast offs? If you were running a big company and needed a leader you would go out and head-hunt the best available and offer them more money/better conditions, not pick from the recently sacked!
Big Duncs is obviously an exaggerated version of want some fans may want to see now at Arsenal.
btw if David Luiz and Xhaka start first team games together then Arsenal are not going to recover that greatly.
That’s a deadly combination right there.
Benny
Could you post the excellent link for the spuds match pls
another legend at the wheel eh?
Don’t know why anyone still does this dance with Champagne Charlie where he says something then accuses you of misrepresenting what he said. Wenger was still such a good coach he had to take a desk job. In Emery’s first season he finished with a higher point tally and competed for a top four spot till the last two games of the season, also went one better in Europe. Not to mention also doing better against the rest of the top six. Second season starts disastrously and Champagne wants everyone to believe the past 18 months have been a disaster,… Read more »
Marc
Precisely, you’ve inferred something instead of simply read what’s been stated.
And no, as many times as you fancy you can claim Wenger being sacked and Emery being hired are unrelated but that’s nonsense. The flaw in your argument is clear as day, cant give it ‘it was the right decision BUT’.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Wenger absolutely had to go it was the right decision made sooner we’d probably have gotten a far better hire than Emery. Guy had us signing poor players on big wages and finishing 5th and 6th his last two seasons. God knows what another season or two might have brought. Unsurprising as to who is making an argument for his sacking.
Timo Werner at it again. He has more goals than games in all competitions
We’d have been no worse, arguably better, if Wenger had continued for another season.
5th then 6th completely counters that point. There’s a clear trajectory hence why he had to go.
Who ever comes in will have to bin Ozil, Sok, Luiz, Mustafi, Kolasniac, Xhaka, and on current form Chambers, Holding, Willock, Saka, Guendouzi, Bellerin as well – have I missed anyone?
Receding
“Don’t know why anyone still does this dance with Champagne Charlie where he says something then accuses you of misrepresenting what he said.”
Maybe don’t do it and I won’t call it out, abracadabra.
Also, “stupid discussion” but here you are giving your two cents. Go about your day you fucking mong, nobody is interested in your breakdown of posters on here.
One sees the Arsenals accounts are an utter horror show.
More to be announced soon.
Probably released on UK General Election day…..buried
Oh for the days of excellent house keeping and exceptional financial husbandry by Arsene Wenger
If we go down- we could be in Bury FC territory.

Watford has appointed a manager, what’s Raul waiting for? Or is it the cunt clueless owner?
“5th then 6th completely counters that point. There’s a clear trajectory hence why he had to go.“
It’s arguable, not scientific. Given the additions, and Auba for a whole season vs half of one it’s not as you claim, unless players are no longer the currency to bleat on about? Thought so.
AKB is alive and well in 2019 despite a decade of decline, a sacking and the old tosser unable to get a job managing another club. Makes. Perfect. Sense.

Atletico being heavily linked to Werner. He’d be great in a Simeone side with Felix up top.
Morata is so average and Diego Costa is completely shot as a top footballer.

You used to tell us that the Copa Libertadores was a mickey mouse competition.
Know you are citing a player and manager in regards to it.
This Barbosa who failed in europe and now this River Plate manager.
We fire Wenger in 2008 and we bring in managers like Emery, what would have become of Arsenal???? Perspective folks
Wenga Forevera!
Baldline,
Care to add your esteemed intelligence to improve quality of that stupid discussion?
Emery was oh so good and you’ve cited all those reasons. So what went horribly wrong then? Why did that upward trajectory line do a complete flip to the other side?

From the Mirror: “Arsenal have published their accounts for the year ending May 31 2019 – showing a £30million loss in matchday revenue. The Gunners have gone from a pre-tax profit of £97.4million to a pre-tax loss of £23.5million amid wretched form on the pitch. Arsenal made over £100million less in player sales – going from £122million to £16million – not including figures from the summer transfer window.

Little humility on the subject wouldn’t go amiss, what have we gained since sacking Wenger? Be objective if you can muster it.
Definitely players fault not Emery but in Wenger’s case it was his fault and not the players. This is how it is sometimes.

We were talking of the past of course at the time Ronaldinho was mentioned and his one man rampage with Mineiro in Libertadores.
Bah! You said.

To be truthful though South American football is only worth watching for the couple of youngsters a team might have in the side and the rest is made up of geriatrics.
This is why I am surprised at your now new found respect for Libertadores.

Sorry but Receding’s right. You make statements, pick arguments where you seem to switch between the different sides and claim the higher ground.

Charlie it doesn’t matter that Emery hasn’t worked out Arsene had to go it’s a very simple and undeniable fact. Unai being shite doesn’t somehow make Arsene capable of better. Can I ask you were you got better from?
The players are substandard and in the case of Wenger he was substandard.
Fuck off Mike!
Putting an AKB’s in charge of the squad has resulted in a draw and a loss.
We need clean break a bif like Brexit.
What a goal from Son.
That’s it Ishola keep on digging deeper with the lie.

Has to be said though that Pierre rant earlier on? It’s hard to believe that a grown man wrote that. Jilted lover or teenage girl who’s found out her favourite K-Pop star is in a serious relationship comes to mind.
“Sorry but Receding’s right. You make statements, pick arguments where you seem to switch between the different sides and claim the higher ground.“ He’s “right” in the same way I said Wenger “should’ve” stayed another year.
