Arsène Wenger

Simeone, Allegri, Jardim and Tuchel would probably be my order of preference.

I think Tuchel would be very interesting, we need an offensive minded tactician to make the most of the guys like Auba, Ozil and Miki whose peaks are coming to an end.

Not sure if Sven would be receptive to working with Tuchel again though especially if we’re moving towards a head coach model

Why Allegri over Jardim?

Allegri seems like a boss. Was reading Juve have allowed 1 goal in their last 14 matches or something stupid like that lol.

To be honest it would basically be a dead heat between those two.

Superb coach who has long spoken of his desire to work in England.

Juventus won the League unbeaten under Conte.

He was so underappreciated at Milan. Dad what had to be done shipping out Ronaldinho and a Pirlo who was no playing for the club any more.

Won the Scudetto first season, should have won it the second too tbh but Conte’s Juve were tough opponents.

Was given absolute shit the 3rd season, but qualified for the CL still. Then got sacked for failing to turn that shit into gold.

Then the success at Juventus. European success, which is something not even Conte could do, taking them to 2 CL finals. Shame he is managing a club that loves to bottle a CL final.

But apparently he wants to retire at 55 and as @BigWeng_4LYFE says he signed a new contract

Would be awesome here but can’t see it.

Just signed a new contract until 2020 though worth €8m per year. Is there a precedent of managers leaving their post early to take a different job without being fired? Maybe we could tempt him with £10m per year?

I know it’s hard to see right now for us (including me) because results and everything aren’t great and Wenger doesn’t have what he used to as a coach, but my god he is a top 5 human in football.

What I was talking about in PL thread. Well worth a watch!

Just spent a little bit of time considering the squad, and there is still so much work to do in basically every department of the pitch.

Players who need upgrading or replacing:

  • Cech i.e. a first choice GK
  • Mertesacker (retiring), Chambers and Mustafi
  • Cazorla (released in all likelihood), Xhaka and if I’m being utterly ruthless then Elneny too but can see his value as a squad player
  • Welbeck and Iwobi

Mertesacker is retiring and Mustafi will probably be moved on as well. I like Chambers but he’s never going to fulfil his potential under Wenger.

Cazorla is physically finished and Xhaka isn’t good enough / suitable for our system. Elneny has value as a backup I suppose but that’s about his ceiling for a team challenging for the league.

One of Welbeck or Iwobi needs to be upgraded. Think we could easily get £20m for Welbeck if we put him up for sale in the summer. Replace him with Malcom?

Potential for so many outgoings and we’re not talking about the sort of deadwood that nobody will buy. Chambers, Mustafi and Welbeck will have suitors for sure - should be able to raise £40m+ for those three alone.

I really am excited to see how the squad gets shaken up by the new regime. It should be pretty clear to them which players have been protected by Wenger’s stubbornness / loyalty. I want to see some more fucking ruthlessness.

GET RID OF THE SHITE.

Can’t wait man.

2020, big Jogi Loew will finger his own arsehole and smear that shite all over the European cup while he lifts it, showing the rest of Europe who’s boss.

I just had to try explain what I was laughing at to the other half who has no idea who Jogi Loew is and barely has any consciousness about football at all. Fucking impossible without coming across as a weirdo. :slight_smile:
