Funny how every journo is hearing a different name.
It’s almost as if it’s complete bollocks.

Why not get someone like Marcelo Gallardo on a short contract. This season is done anyways so maybe we can bring the guy in to implement his style. He will be hungry to make a name and has good South American connections. From what I have heard he plays good football too.

How’s his English?
Right now the only manager we know for sure that will at the very least be approached will be Poch.
Despite how unlikely our chances are of his signature will be, it makes sense as he won’t have to re-locate, he knows the league, he can operate on low net spend and we’ll pay him better than Spurs did.
Edit: as soon as I posted this, Ornstein confirms

Here’s how I’d rank our coaching prospects.
Most ambitious hire: (chances 2/10)
Naggelsmann - young, fresh ideas, visionary ideas moving forward. The guy is giving the Bayernliga a run for its money, NO FUCKING BRAINER.
Most sure thing: (chances 3/10)
Simeone - the football would suffer and it would be a departure from the beautiful football we all expect at Arsenal…but he’d bring immediate results I’ve no doubt, and improve the defensive organization which is something we as a club have been yearning for. Plus I love his no nonsense approach. I would love him here.
Big name hire: (chances 6/10)
Allegri - not sure if he’d flail or prosper here tbh, but he’d be an exciting hire and definitely please the fan base.
Revenge hire: (chances 4/10)
Pochettino - clearly it would be the revenge of both us and Poch, but honestly I’m not 100% convinced he’d win us anything. The football would improve massively tho, but I think we all want more.
Uninspired offensive hire: (chances 7/10)
Rodgers - Yes he’d make us better but that’s not a difficult task. He has a definite ceiling and he might get us competing for a title one day but he’s not the man to get us over the line.
Brain dead shit Arsenal typical hire: (8/10)
Patrick Viera - would be so typical Arsenal to hire this guy, just cuz he has Arsenal DNA. Honestly I’d hedge my bets on us being worse than under Emery. If this happens seriously fuck off.
Mixed bag hire: (8/10)
Arteta - He could be absolutely brilliant, and be the evolution of Pep. Orrrrrrr, he could be a complete fucking train wreck, honestly we don’t know because he’s got zero experience.
Uninspired defensive hire: (8/10)
Nuno - will right the ship and get us playing the way Emery probably envisioned but uninspiring football and also has a ceiling, he’s not winning us the league but can probably scrape us some top 4’s at a minimum. Could see his football working in cup competitions if we got lucky.

Poch well in the lead now

I’d take any of those top 5 you listed… probably least excited about Allegri, but that may be just novelty (or lack thereof).
I’d also throw Ten Hag in there… Gallardo, and maybe even Tuchel (tbf I haven’t followed nearly enough, but when I do watch his teams, I like what I see - guessing his decline recently has him out of the equation).

I’m with you, but unfortunately Naglesmann is going nowhere for now.
I mean, he even rejected Real Madrid and Bayern in the summer. Let alone us.
Not much we can do about that now. Agreed that, we should maybe have gone for him in 2018. But I’d be a hypocrite if I said that now, cos I wasn’t sure then either (rathered Tuchel if we went for that profile then)
He could have been the guy, but alas he’s staying put at Leipzig for the foreseeable future.
Guy wants to be their Chelsea Mourinho I guess.

For me, Poch is the most obvious and realistic choice.
Acrimonious goodbye from Spurs just a couple of weeks ago, already based in London, we’d have more money to offer for player transfers and he’s proven to be able to do a lot with a little.
Nuno, Nagelsmann, Arteta etc. seem to be pretty big unknown risks compared to someone like Poch who has been quite impressive at Spurs and may just need a change of scenery.
And imagine the drama and build up to the NLD

this thing of getting 2 cbs with allegri, surely only 1 is needed saliba is beasting it and if you are a decent coach surely you should be able to make him even better so maybe 1 more top CB and the rest can e back ups or sold…saliba looks to be the future of our backline.
I have been hugely impressed by what Poch and Spurs have done without spending at all, but I worry we are too close to this and relish too much the “imagine the scenes” moment of a previous Spurs manager pushing us to glory. The Athletic article about how he burned the team out also has a few red flags… but I feel like we might suit him better b/c we invest more and can have deeper team than Spurs.
Its noteworthy that Spurs played a LOT of games with that squad last two seasons as well… Making the Ro16 or final of the CL, getting to the semifinal of at least one domestic cup on top of that… they simply don’t have the squad to handle that two seasons in a row - wonder if that is more of a squad issue than Poch…

These are the kind of posts that get my dick hard
Poch is on the same points more or less over fifty games with Emery reign. No thanks.

Godly level: ten Hag for medium risk very high reward, Godteta for very high risk very high reward

Acceptable: names I don’t know enough about but that are interesting more or less up and coming managers like Fonseca, Adi Hütter, Howe, maybe Nuno, not sure. Some others I’m probably forgetting in this category.
