Will be fascinating to see how it pans out. Arteta has a fairly ordinary Arsenal up to fourth, but then Spurs and that lot will likely improve in the second half of the season, so they may fade. Judging by this thread, there is currently no consensus around any one manager.Man, convincing our fanbase that Arteta is the next City manager will be pretty difficult. Eventhough it is easy to why it can be a good idea. Arteta clearly have seen/know inside and out our Club management.
Pep clearly rated him very highly as manager despite his form on Arsenal, many thought Pep statement is sarcasm but he genuinely think that Arteta is a really good manager have been working with him closely for years. Pep will not easily give him that kind of compliment if he doesn't think so. His standards is very high afterall.
It is not easy to judge Arteta true capability because Arsenal as club is such a mess, ranging from the top to very bottom there so many of that club problem to exist and Arteta as capable he is, can't do it alone yet he will the first figure to blame for Arsenal wrong doing despite not all of that club problem is from his. Trying to implement the style and instill the culture he have seen in City to Arsenal will be very difficult job and it will taken him for years to do it. Not an easy job and heck even Pep himself will also find it is very difficult to do.
Thing is Manager appointment is all about whether the manager in question is a match for the club itself. CV and experience is good but it will not matter if the manager philosophy and playstyle is very different compared to ours, for example Prime Mourinho despite his impressive CV and experience after managing treble Inter season will not match our club philosopy and style at all.
If CV and experience is all that matter, Pep and Zidane will not getting the job in their first big team at all and you know how it turn out (Sextuple and Three peat CL respectively).
CV is good just for assurance for fanbase that the manager itself is good enough to lead the club to the very top but not the major factor of why that manager must get appointment as a manager.
Bradbury back as the number nine or his assistant?I'd piss myself laughing if we wheeled Frank Clark out of retirement, just for the meltdown on here : )
You've never had it so good...

That's pushing it a tad too far mate; )Bradbury back as the number nine or his assistant?
The only managers in the PL currently that could take on the job are Tuchel and Klopp. Of course Conte is a top class manager, but would throw away all Pep has built. None of these will happen. All the others won’t be ready for it if he decides to leave in 18 months. Have to look elsewhereThe guy at Wolves might be one to keep an eye on - alright they were a dour disgrace against us, but he's clearly a thinker and can deploy different approaches with limited players.
If Arteta can drag that Club to the top four spot in the table at the end of season. It will be miracle if he can do it, that achievement is a kind of winning the league itself. The many disadvantage he have and competition from other club he have to face, like i said it will be a miracle.
Not sure if your serious?The guy at Wolves might be one to keep an eye on - alright they were a dour disgrace against us, but he's clearly a thinker and can deploy different approaches with limited players.
More rag like.If that would be a miracle, then I suppose Pochettino being second and third and a UCL finalist with Spurs qualifies as what, God-like?
I sadly would put Rodgers in the mix but pleased to say, this season he seems to be fading.The only managers in the PL currently that could take on the job are Tuchel and Klopp. Of course Conte is a top class manager, but would throw away all Pep has built.
