Looking at the betting, Arteta is the one as Ancelotti is going out with most bookmakers. Hope he has learnt a lot from Pep if this anything to go by.

{Ed047's Note - that would be a case of buy cheap buy twice for me 🤦‍♂️

I didn't realise Ancelotti was such a flirt, just how many bookmakers is he seeing? :-)

I would still like Pochettino, if possible.

Arteta would be a massive gamble and again on the cheap, absolutely no experience and he comes with a blank CV as a manager.

{Ed047's Note - that really does concern me

If Poch or Allegri were coming they'd be here by now as both are and have been available ever since Emery left.
Ancelotti has only been available a few days and by all accounts he wasn't expecting the sack so will obviously need time to think about what he wants to do next.
If Ancelotti isn't interested then let Fredie carry on until a proven candidate is interested, the only thing worse than doing nothing is doing something stupid because other people keep telling you must do something.
Let Fredie hold the fort until a genuine cadidate emerges, and a genuine and obvious candidate will come if we simply don't panic.

I think that’s staying the obvious 62

Freddie will stay put until a manager is found, why would he be replaced by an interim?

Obviously we wouldn't replace an interim with another untrim Banbury but we might if we give into panic appoint a new permanent manager we didn't really want in the first place as we apparently did with Emery who was a long way off first choice simply because we feel the need to do something rather than nothing.
Artetta Vieira or appointing Fredie on a full time basis would be exactly that, a panic decision and do something rather than nothing against your better judgement to appease short term.
Lose today and people will be screaming why haven't we got a real manager! But the reality is win lose or draw today the new manager timescale shouldn't change a fraction, getting the right man for the job will take as long as it takes.

The difference with Emery was he had european trophies on his CV How many people thought we had panicked?
