Thierry Henry

Makes you think when ConeBoy Arteta was being considered too.

Think about how exciting it would have been though… The unknown …

It’s going to be funny seeing Henry and Neville, two failed managers on Sky lecturing top managers on what they should be doing.

No not really. If the choice was between Arteta and Emery the preference would have been Arteta. Don’t put words in people’s mouth.

I think my sarcasm went over your head on my post :slight_smile:

I’m not putting anything into anyone’s mouths. It was meant to be taken fairly light hearted…

How on earth can you seriously say this? Please

If a legend flops, then a non-legend would be a huge success imo.

SD seems to be having trouble with this today :roll_eyes:

I think this is a good example of why top players often don’t make top managers.

They just assume in their gut that each player should be as good as they were, and they can’t find a way to manage a squad that isn’t always going to be full of the quality necessary at all times. When they see mistakes being made on the pitch that they perhaps wouldn’t have made themselves as a player, they attack their players rather than try to empathize with them.

Tbf, anyone could’ve guessed Henry wasn’t gonna cut it. Doubt he will turn into a solid coach/manager unless he literally transforms as a person. Spewed some absolute nonsense during his analyses on TV. His thoughts were all over the place. Plus, he is a cocky SOB and it showed at Monaco.
Him and Patrick get a big L from Arsene. Dude gave them a career and they thought they were over him. Jokes on you boys. Ain’t that easy.

Not really surprising given his obvious total lack of commitment to being a top level manager. He chose punditry over a coaching role at Arsenal, took a part time assistant role at Belgium and then went into a club that was very difficult to begin your career with due to the obvious current instability.

He’s always struck me as quite an arrogant man so I’m not surprised to read he lost the entire squad with his behaviour.

Didn’t they also spend time with junior/ B teams before getting their first managerial gigs, unlike Henry who jumped into the first glamourous opportunity he found.

I guess you cant blame him for being arrogant enough to think he was up to the job if they were silly enough to actually offer him it.

I still don’t really get why. Didn’t he leave Monaco when he was like 21? Surely he’s nowhere near a legend there and if he hasn’t been there for 20 years it’s not exactly like he “knows the club” which is basically the only justification given for giving management jobs to ex players.

I hope he doesn’t give up, but I have a feeling this probably wasn’t a very fun time for him so I could see why he’d think a decent wage for 2 days work at Sky would be enough for him.

It’ll happen for you one day mate, plenty of fish in the sea and all that

Patrick didn’t see eye to eye with Wenger. I think everyone knows that. Henry wasn’t that vocal about ii buy he has been critical of Arsene during his pundit days, acting like he knew how to solve our issues. Guess it ain’t that easy.

Are they claiming to be better managers than he is or something? I still don’t understand your point.

Josh’s Instagram story and he has Henry and Evra with him. Listen to Thierry absolutely ruin Senderos twice in a few seconds :joy::joy::joy:

Henry won a BBC vote on the greatest overseas player in the PL era.

Even if he was pretty bollocks on his first go as a manager, nobody can ever touch his playing career.

You can shove your Aguero’s and Silva’s up your fucking bondh (arse) - Thierry is the :goat:
