[chrisbonnie]

If it's anything, I watched a good of bologna last night. 

 

They where fucking awful to watch and it ended 0-0.

What makes you think I'm talking about anyone but the people who think that?

Paddy Power no longer have a market for the next manager.

Don't think so. There's just not a market to place a bet, but there are plenty left, including jobs that aren't currently available. Which suggests there's been a few bob on a single candidate. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Emery anyone?

It wouldn’t surprise me that it’s someone we’ve not spoken about or under the radar end of the day it’s pot luck I reckon

He did OK at Frankfurt winning the cup and won the league the same as everyone else does at Bayern. Made the French cup final and finished 3rd buy been sacked by Wolfsburg stuck in midtable

 

[Lee909]

Looking at the reports it's looks based on fuck all. First I can see is the daily mail saying his agents are sounding clubs out. A bit 2+2=5

I don't really know much about him.

I've always been on board with Emery. Proven he can win games when it matters and I don't believe his time at Arsenal was this huge failure a lot of neutrals like to push the idea of. Got them to a Europa league final and finished 5th (1 point behind Spurs in 4th and 2 behind Chelsea in 2nd), then only got 3 months into his 2nd season......barely got time to build a squad.

 

Has there been a better improvement to any side over the last 12-18months than what he's done at Villa other than Xabi? Maybe the guy at Girona, maybe Bosz at PSV, few might even say Gary O'Neil....otherwise I can't recall anyone else.

Yeah, the thing that most impressed me was when he got the boot from Arsenal, he went back to Spain and won another Europa league with a different side.

 

Bit surprised he isn't getting touted more, particularly given the weight some are placing on De Zerbi's experience of the league.

 

Have to wonder if he'd be wary of taking over from another big figure though. I think we're in a better place than Arsenal were post Wenger, mind.

Would. In fact after Ancelotti he’d be my next choice. Or Postecoglu who would be superb here

Not sure about Postecoglu. The eye test tells me he's got the cojones, but Spurs seem to be reliant on Son exceeding xG and putting away clear chances. Our forwards aren't that clinical.

[Pidge]

Sarri, quit his job after the announcement to sort things out and prepare. He's going to scare some performances out of them.

[Bobby Hundreds]

No to Ange for me. Fuck that high line. I'm ready for a breather on that. I want Amorim and I think its only because I don't know him so it feels like there's no ceiling on his potential the likes of Zerbi and Emery I think they could have us competitive for top 4 we know what they are about.

 

My biggest worry is Edwards trying  to show how clever he is and employing some university teacher whose thesis on stats and sport was an eye opener.

Son has been shite loads of times this season. He’s defo got the balls to make an impact. Sets his teams up to attack and win. I like the cut of his jib and all.

Like Bobby says above, that high line would worry me. I'm not sure we've got the legs in the squad for that any more. I'd favour someone who can evolve us tactically, a tinkerer if you will.

Beat Utd in the final with a pretty poor Villarreal side didn't he? With Alberto bleeding Moreno as well....ha!  Think he might've also been the manager when we met them in the CL semi's not too long ago, taking Villarreal that far in the CL was some achievement. 

 

I'm pretty relaxed over the whole situation, they'll still be a lot of tears to be shed next month but I'm opting to stay positive. Whether it be RDZ, Emery, Zidane, Nagelsmann, Amorim or whoever I think we might just be ok......

 

......if not then we can always just take a leaf out the Chelsea playbook and sack every manager until we find the right 1 :)

Arsenal absolutely choked 4th when he was there, they had it in their grasp and they choked at home to Crystal Palace if i remember rightly. He was underwhelming at PSG. So that's two jobs where he's been expected to do something and ended up being sacked. Not a good record in the Champions League either. He's a good manager but he isn't top level.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I wouldn't hold anyone's record at PSG against them. They're a basket case of a club.

He’d adapt. He’s got Romero and Van Den Ve with legs. If he brought Van de Ven with him I’d be made up
