It will be interesting to see if the club leave Emery in charge for tomorrow night's match. He should be sacked today, ensuring the fans turn up at The Emirates and a toxic atmosphere avoided. I have a feeling an appointment is imminent. It seems that Allegri won't return to management until next season. My guess is that they will try for one of Arteta, Pochettino or Nuno Wolves manager. Pochettino would be my choice of the three, and I would consider Rafa Benitez and Brendan Rodgers, if it possible to sign them.

{Ed002's Note - Threats will go down well i am sure. proposals such as this end the contact between the club and the fans. You are turning in to Liverpool fans and sometime occasional Everton fans that think a bunch of morons who damage the stadium, threaten to boycott games and abuse everyone are worthy of listening to. If you don’t go to games, the club don’t care. If you boo at games, the players are the ones who feel bad - so why should they make any effort for the fans or care at all. Xhaka will go, Abamayangadingdong will go, others will be speaking to their agents about options. The fundamental problem at Arsenal is taking on their seventh or eighth choice coach without realising they have a fundamental issue with the structure at the club and related responsibilities. Look to an opportunity to restructure - clear it out, take a transfer window off, get Vieirinha as Director of Football, get a strong coach and look again - the problem, they have spent the wet day fund on Pepe, damn. The other problem is becoming the fans who cannot see the issues.}

I don't know what Arsenal needing a new manager and the Arsenal fans becoming angered has to do with Liverpool supporters but there we go.

Looks like arsenal are set to become a mid-table side isn’t it Ed, it’s sad to see. I just wish all the problems were sorted out.

Wow! Quite a rant Ed!
I agree with virtually, if not all you say. I believe the managers I suggest are all fairly experienced, whether we could get them is another question. The club hasn’t been the same since Dein and Fiszman departed, after which the problems started. Despite his age, could Dein still fulfil a role at the club?
Who is Vieirinha?

{Ed002's Note - Not sure how it turned out like that - Vieira.

Thanks Ed, that makes sense. Which manager would you recommend, assuming Emery is sacked.

{Ed002's Note - I would not want to do that.}

Spurs have been 57 years without a title Liverpool 30 years before Mourinho mk 1 Chelsea had been how long without a title? City before Mancinni? How long were United in between titles before Fergie 25 30 years?
We've been 15 years and counting now but which isn't great but Bertie gave us a title in the 70s George in the 80s Arsene in the 90s and early 2000s. It's the 20 teens that makes things feel so bad but compared to every other big club we're just not used to huge gaps in being the best.
Our time will come again were just a low point in our history Just as all others have before us, every down turn has a turning point and we just need to find ours as Liverpool United Chelsea City have before us and I'm in absolutely both Liverpool and City will have to do so again at some point.
Highs and lows that's football for you.

Ed, why, according to you, is our Hierarchy so unappealing to top managers? I ask purely out of interest because I see you say our hierarchy is extremely wrong/ unattractive but i don't really understand what you mean by it.

{Ed002's Note - You need to go back and think why lasr summer:
Monchi (Technical Director) - no interest in working with no clarification of responsibilities
Andoni Zubizarreta (Technical Director) - no interest in working in the strange set up the club has - which is why Sven Mislintat walked out.
Marc Overmars (Technical Director) not interested in working in the structiure Arsenal has
Edu (Technical Director) open to taking the job where he has minimal responsibility.
Francis Cagigao was promised a promotion to become overall head of scouting, and Steve Rowley was likely to step up from his role in youth development. Chief negotiator Huss Fahmy will stay in the same position. So what will Edu be doing?
It is a shambles.

Ed - which, sack Emery or let me know who you would replace him with?

{Ed002's Note - Say who should replace him.}

Hi Ed I remember you saying Favre would be your pick before we appointed anyone, I saw rumours that dortmund were thinking of replacing him, do you know if that's true and if he would still be a good option?

{Ed002's Note - It was my choice, not Arsenal's.}

Hi Ed,

so are you essentially saying where other *successful* clubs have one man performing the role of DoF, we compartmentalise it into 3 or 4 different job positions? if so do you know for what reason we do this? Why wouldn't we follow a senior management structure that has given success to other clubs?

{Ed002's Note - It is rather more complex than that. I cannot answer why Arsenal work in sucj a strange way.}
