So eds, what about this ridiculous rumour of Paul Clement being lined up as a possible AW replacement, shall we consign it to the. "We expect that kind of drivel from the tabloids bin"
or,
it might just happen, stick it in your diary.
{Ed002's Note - I generally don't keep up with rumours. What I can say is that Paul C is a very well respected coach and worked his way through the various sides to work with the first team at Chelsea. He has since been with CA at PSG and RM. He is pretty quiet but people listen. He has a very good sense of humour and got on really well with Guus Hiddink. I am not aware of any deal with Arsenal and it seems very unlikely to me. However, in my view Paul will one day appear managing at the highest level - perhaps after a further learning curve elsewhere. Certainly one to watch.}

Rather than ridiculous think that this is exactly the kind of candidate our club should be considering. Still remember the 'Arsene Who?' headlines and Ferguson managed Aberdeen and was not most fans 1st choice.

Agree with hackney
Really, so let's put it another way. politely, of course. btw, I'm not a Wenger out moosh either, remember what the Sith Lord did to Young Anakin in Star Wars, coached him in he way of dark arts. my young apprentice. blah. blah,
I would hold my thumb upto that potential pairing and judge it the same, embryonic assisitant is coached in Wengers ( except AW isn't a baddie) ways. Old boriniho has a point we have become masters at nearly being very good, of course this is all conjecture. but, would he be the right manager to help lift Arsenal from being almost very good to actually being. .invincible again. maybe, track record anyone?. I hope I'm completely wrong and the transition between managers
(I'm betting 2 year max) is smooth, and we ( the fans and the club) get the plaudits they deserve
{Ed001's Note - he is meant to come back, but it is still a long way from next season.}
