Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

nothing Val is Teflon. I swear even an embarrassment at El Classico won't get him sacked. They can't give him the door, when buddy is the house.

Why isn't Erik Ten Hag in the conversation for the Arsenal job? Exciting brand of football that's marketable, pleases fans and gets results ...

He wont leave before the season finishes, otherwise he'll be at Bayern already.

tbf, Ole has a far worst squad than those other guys

United midfield is only Pogba and he's been out all season. they can't advance play because they have NO other midfielder that can play the ball comfortably with their feet. A handful of midtable teams have better personals in midfield.

Well, damn... I was going to say they got time to start wooing him, but yeah they ain't winning him over from Bayern

Ole might be behind in wins but he leads the league in smiles

Why not Allegri?

His comments after the Kean incident has put me off him

Arteta seems more likely as Raul know many of the City high ups, Pep etc

Nuno, Bielsa, Ten Haag any of them I would like - but all with clubs so unlikely. We missed the boat on Brendan

That may be true but Ole has to take the blame for that midfield. He knew he had to replace Herrera and Fellaini and Pogba already said he wanted out, yet he didnt try to sign a single midfield player this last summer. He has to take the blame for the state of that squad coming into this season.

I agree with this

Why is arteta among the favorites to take over. Has he even been head coach of a club before

 

[Montez]

Allegri’s football ain’t the way.

It should be Arteta.
- Former Player which will bridge divide
- Worked with the top manager in the game
- Good reviews based on work with Sane and Sterling
- Speaks English, French, and Spanish
- Commands respect

Poch is only good because of the Spurs connection. Wouldn’t want him at all.

Just the vibes

 

[DapMeUp!]

I can see Arteta because if reports were true from before Emery was appointed he was very very close to getting it, so they clearly like the idea of him.

The thing that may stop the board this time is that we as a club are in a tailspin, and they may want a more experienced coach to steady the ship.
Not the ideal situation for a manager with zero first team management to step into. Wouldn't wish it on him either.

Rafa gonna get the job
