Arteta

[lmhblue1]

Sam Lee's article in the Athletic mentions that he may be given more control in FA Cup and League Cup games next season to give him more experience

Surprised they haven't rehashed that to Pep is leaving and Arteta will be out new manager next season.

Wait.........

Mikel Arteta is in the middle of a tug of war between Manchester City and Arsenal, who want him to be their next manager. City see him as a key part of Pep Guardiola’s backroom team, and would like him to stay until the summer at the very least. [@neilfissler]

Seems like the closest to Pep in current staff. But to me he seems way to quiet on the bench. to me he doesnt look someone who would stand there in the area and actually manage a team he just looks quiet.
To see him shouting instruction, running up and down, its just not him.

But seems a good bloke that of course wouldnt change anything that if he takes the Arsenal job I hope he fails miserably. Nothing against him but just really dont like Arsenal and their fans. if he would go to Spain or Italy I would even cheer on his team.

Very easy to burn yourself as a young manager taking a first job, like Neville at Valencia or Henry at Monaco.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Mikel wants the Arsenal job but wants guarantees from them first.

We won't be standing in his way, at least not after next Sunday has come and gone.

I suspect we will have a new coach before Christmas.

Wont the one from nyc come back to replace Arteta if he goes or are we going to look for another younger assistant.

Why???

I guess Torrent being free makes it easier to allow him to go if he wants the Arsenal job.

I might be being unfair, but I think Pep's decision making since swapping Torrent for Arteta has become worse. I'm not going to be sad to see him leave.

Maybe a reshuffle in the coaching staff is what the squad needs.

 

[CityPar]

There's been talk about Van Bronckhorst in the past. Perhaps he'll be the replacement?

 

[GunnerGer]

What's the general opinion of him with you guys, do you's think he has what it takes to take the step up into management?

Absolutely no idea to be perfectly honest. He appears very quiet but I get the impression he’s highly rated at City.

I think it’s just one of them where you won’t have an idea until he steps into a role.

I'd like Arteta given the job when Pep goes as he knows what this club is about. Bringing in a new manager from outside the club is a gamble and means a spell of transition, something Arteta would not disrupt as much with him being familiar with the players and the club as a whole.

What's the general consensus of appointing Arteta with gooners fans?

To be honest mate, I'm not sure we even know ourselves what's best for us. Because of the situation we are in, and we're a basket case right now, some folk think it's time for a more experienced person, someone that can create a team with structure and organise a defense.

Others think that it's actually a good time to appoint a more gamble like unproven manager, as there's no real pressure or expectation of top 4 anymore, they can actually come in and as long as they 'steady the ship', will have time to get to know the squad and more importantly what's needed to improve it this season before any potential rebuild.

Think the problem is there are no standout candidates really, especially mid-season.

No way hes part of the present regime who thinks fodens not capable, playing a high line against pace is a good idea and no subs until game over . He's a yes man.

Fair comments pal. Did most want Emery out? I always feel sorry for managers who are perceived as failing without having time to prove to be a failure. Perhaps the board sacked him too soon ?

Whatever it is after having Wenger at the helm for so long, could mean you being in transitional instability for the considerable future. Us old skool blues know that all too well having an ex bumbling chairman that was Peter Swales as chairman in charge.

Good coach by all accounts... Some doubts at City about whether he can be a number one but who knows. I think he’ll stabilise things at Arsenal so long as you are patient with him.

Yeah, i think the concensus was that Emery had to go. Purely because never mind seeing more improvement than last season, results and performances were getting worse, and he had no idea how to reverse it. We had gone to good home form and struggling occasionally away, to getting outplayed by the teams at the bottom of the table at home. Most thought he was a decent guy, just lost the dressing room though and there's no real way back from that.

 

[Keeper!]

No chance replacing Pep.

Fair enough. Who would you like as next manager and who do you think will get the job? Vieira seems to have thrown his hat in the ring...

Think it’s been made clear that Torrent is not coming back.
