If Brendan Rodgers is the answer - what's the question?

{Ed001's Note - who has the best tan in Scotland?}

03 Mar 2018 17:24:14
Questions. If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight, how many lifts in a multi storey car park with no top floor?
Answer Brendan Rogers.

I take it you not a fan of The Chase SY?

I thought it was what team could any Tom dick or harry manage and still win the SPL.

03 Mar 2018 17:56:06
Who in the summer of 2018 signed a new 15yr contract at Celtic.

03 Mar 2018 18:12:55
Sanogo your a genius! That's the answer! We do a straight swap with Celtic on managers.
Arsene gets to win titles again and be involved in champions league football and we get change.
Ok Brendan wouldn't be my choice but whether he worked out or not it would mean we'd actually taken the first step towards getting back on track.
Seriously it would be brilliant for Arsene and it really would brake the stalemate we've been stuck in for years.

03 Mar 2018 18:32:52
Jesus 62 wash your mouth out, I’d rather have Brendan Rogers mum, yeah get Arsene up to Scotland but not at the expensive of perma tan here.

There’s change and then there’s him. Think he’ll be in the running for the Spuds job when Pochettino goes though. 😉.

The answer must be "Who is less welcome at The Emirates than Wenger? "

Barca, Bayern Munich and come to think of it any half decent team 😂.

03 Mar 2018 19:49:43
The question Is, what manager wouldn't leave Celtic to manage arsenal cause arsenal can't get a manager to take over.
The answer
Ah well just give him another contract the old dinosaur.

03 Mar 2018 19:51:11
The lot of us will be crying in our cocoa puffs if he does actually become our manager.

On another note, has anyone else had any snow or was it just me?

03 Mar 2018 20:01:41
Sharpie. I'm sick of looking at the snow. I hope it moves on.

03 Mar 2018 20:12:55
Sharpie,
I've had tons around here mate.

I hired Raver to get rid of it.

Nose like a leaf blower in reverse that boy.

who uses the same dentist as firmino and reyland clark.

If you read or believe the reports D16 the board are scared they will make the wrong decision concerning Arsenes future and that is fair comment after 21 years and we supporters will be feeling the same, but I am convinced its best for him to leave asap. Another point is we will have to be patient with the new manager as its going to take time to get us back on track.

03 Mar 2018 10:22:29
I totally agree on we will need to be patient with the next manager making us competitive again is a huge job with no real foundations to build on, we really are not just 1 or 2 players away as people like to claim, we probably have 1 or 2 players who are capable of playing in a competitive side over 38 games, we are in a sorry old state right now.
The good news for the next manager is it won't be difficult to show improvement very quickly, all he needs to do is assemble aside that works hard plays with passion and commitment and he will have us fans well onside very quickly.
Ultimately just having a hard working side that gives their all in every game won't be enough on its own but initially it will be a very very welcome sight after years of cosy will they won't they Arsenal displays.

03 Mar 2018 11:28:45
That s very true guys. It is a big job choosing a new manager. And u less I'm mistaken wouldn't it be a first at arsenal for a majority of the board. As I'm sure not many were on the board when we appointed him. We do certainly need to give the next manager time. Hope they make the right choice.

03 Mar 2018 11:59:10
We might not and possibly won't get it right first time 16 mate, utd are still trying to replace Fergie and Liverpool still trying to win thier first premier league title after dominating English football for years.
But things aren't going to get any better under Arsene if we carry on for another season or 10 seasons, chances are they will continue to decline and Arsene will continue to flit away out resources on the likes of Mustafi and Xhaka making the job even tougher than it is at the moment.
If it takes us 3 new managers before we get it right again, the sooner we crack on the quicker we will get there.
This summer has to be the right time to part company with Arsene, hopefully amicably but if not then that's unfortunately the way it will have to be.

03 Mar 2018 12:54:52
Maybe I'm being a tad optimistic but I think they might replace him very well. Some of the names being linked aren't exactly poor managers. Time will tell I guess.

03 Mar 2018 13:11:12
Your probably right 16 mate we may well hit the jackpot first time round and I will be absolutely delighted if we do mate, I'm desperate for us to compete again, not necessarily win the league but actually contest it again, obviously winning it would be unbelievably brilliant.
The first thing we need to do is stop going backwards then look to improve and then add what is needed to be able to challenge the best again.
Maybe someone can do all that quickly but I personally would settle for a Poch Klopp type steady but sure progressive improvement each season as I don't think who ever comes in is going to find good a foundation to build on he's going to pretty much have to start from the ground up to rebuild what is a best a squad in disrepair.

With dreadful form in 2018 and little hope of a top four finish or winning the EL, Wenger is clearly at the end of his time at the club.
The squad is the weakest in recent times, with many players departed and not replaced. Without including Cazorla we barely have 20 overage players. At the end of the season Mertesacker retires (he should never have had his contract extended, he clearly is past his sell by date) , Wilshere out of contract, Ramsey and Welbeck down to one year (possibly others with one year) and Chambers simply not good enough) , we could be down to 15 or fewer overage players left. This means a new manager or Wenger if he stays, could have to bring in 6-10 players in the summer window. Someone needs to take back control of the club from Wenger, who post David Dein has had way too much control.

03 Mar 2018 08:48:02
We have 0 keepers defenders minefielders or forwards that would make an all London 11 unless we had to resort to using potential rather than reality as a way of picking the team.
It's awful but it's true if a neutral was picking an all London 11 not one Arsenal player would get in to the starting 11 or make the bench either.
Mesut? Not on form shown only on what he is capable of on his day.
But if you had to pick a London 11 to play in next seasons premier league be honest would you pick one single Arsenal player for your starting 11 or bench?
That's the reality of our squad strength not one player could we possibly justify including and that's a realy poor state of affairs.
