Hi Edds

I know you say not to ask about random players bit have Arsenal ever shown onterest in Lascelles? Great young English CB with bags of potential still and a proven leader of the team when you hear about the back room stories.

{Ed001's Note - a long time ago when he was at Forest Wenger was very keen but not since.}

Classy player and a great leader. I hope he stays I Newcastle next year. Apparently he’s linked with Chelsea.

In my OPINION Nagelsman and Tedesco will be out of their depth at Arsenal, they are young, good coaches and very exciting, but managing a club of Arsenal's stature is a totally different prospect.
They really no nothing about the pressure of the EPL, nothing about managing clubs outside their league, nothing about managing the pressure at Arsenal, nothing about managing players with the big egos our players have, absolutely nothing about managing a team that plays European football.

It would end up being a Moyes-like appointment. Moyes couldn't even take his style of play to United.
I'd rather have Rafa Benitez than Nagelsman or Tedesco.

Rookies like Arteta and Viera don't even deserve to be mentioned unless if in an assistantanagerial position, as much as they have potential, managing Major League soccer or being Guardiola's assistant isn't even close to the pressures of managing our reserve team. (Again, this is my opinion. I don't mean to offend anyone)

Our best option would be to get Ancelotti on a short term contract with an assistant manager like Henry, Bergkamp, Viera, Arteta with the view of them replacing him in the long term. We need someone with experience who would jump in with as little adjustment period as possible as we don't have any leg room for more fall for grace (we are already becoming a joke) .

Arsenal has a brand and a name to protect.

I also don't get why Tuchel is getting so much stick, if he is considered good enough to manage PSG and Dortmund and even get tipped for the Chelsea job.

Simeone would be nice but his negative football would have our fans boycotting games as early as matchday 10. The only reason why it took fans so long to get disenfranchised with Wenger is because of the level of respect he has gathered over time, Simeone having us park the bus would lead to massive outcry. Besides we don't have the players needed to play his style and it would require massive one-time investment.

Enrique hasn't proved to me that he is good enough, a goat with a tie on would get Barcelona to win trophies. Enrique at Roma didn't do a good enough job.

If all goes to hell and none of our options are available, I'd much rather have Conte on a short term basis to steady the ship with Henry/ Bergkamp/ Arteta/ Viera as assistant. Conte's downside is he moans more than a sick cow. Never trust am employee who constantly complains about his employer and work place in public.

For me personally I would love to see Conte take the reigns. He would be the perfect fit for us with respects to his ability to get the very best out of his players and improve teams that are floundering. Look at his achievements with Juve and then the Italian national team and add to that what he did at Chelsea. I really do think he would be by far the best option. I presume that there is little to no chance of this happening though?

I agree, Chelsea's horror season aside, he has a great record of winning (though he doesn't win cup finals)

I’d take conte, I must admit I thought he’d take the Italy job again but with ancelotti seemingly offered it then maybe not. Perhaps allegri to Chelsea and conte back to Juve.
I really have no clue as to who it will be, anyone I’ve soiken to says exactly the same. There seems to be no clear front runner except maybe Enrique, who I’m not that keen on. Couldn’t tell why I’m not keen he just doesn't excite me.

Hi all, I know a lot has been spoken about who will be the next manager but is there any rumours on timeframe to announce?

I know majority of the posters here want allegri and i for one think he won't be a bad choice but there is a reason why he isn't my favorite and tonight was one of the many games against big teams where Allegri set up to defend.

His football is too reactionary and boring. His juventus team tonight didn't even have one shot on target. Imagine ) shots on target and you are the home team.

Napoli on the other hand attacked the whole game and kept the ball well. I am not sure alegri's methods would survive in the premier league when we don't have a good squad. The only way we can win with the likes of allegri is if we spend big which i don't think we will and that is why i always preferred tuchel or nagelsmann or tedesco. Very young bright coaches who can get the best out of the squad while playing attacking football.

Just wait and see mate, there are so many names so many possible outcomes once the managerial merry-go-round gets going who knows who will end up where by the time June gets here.
Conte will most likely lose his job but he will get another so someone somewhere will have to make way for him and then whoever does make way for Conte will take another managers job and so on it goes.
Jump in to quick and we could miss out on someone who suddenly becomes available who knows what might happen between now and June.

Juve were outplayed by a young and naive Spurs team. Let's be honest. Both Allegri and Carlo are overrated with some media backing behind them.
Those who talk about experience and big clubs etc - remember Barcelona turned down Jose for an unproven Pep.
I'll take Enrique or Jadim - they have the versatility to deal with the sort of transition we need to go thru.

Who ever you go for Gabo it's a gamble and absolutely no one comes with guaranteed success not Pep not Jose not Jurgen.
All you can ever do is make the best educated guess amd hope its right.
