Billy Walsh Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Right move really, 2 years to prepare for his successor. I'm an Arsenal fan and I have no idea who would or could replace him if he left this summer. In hindsight we missed the boat last summer with the likes of Ancelotti available.

Cade Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 He should have bowed out after making himself the most successful FA cup manager in history and leading Arsenal to being the most successful club in FA cup history But instead we get another two years of pishy tippy tappy football, signing nothing but flimsy wee wingers and scrapping for the european places in the league.

loveofthegame Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wish Hearts were this boring. 7th Cup win. Its all relative though isn't it. Arsenal are expected to compete for the title and Champions League. The FA Cup is a very distant third in their list of priorities. If they were West Ham or someone else then fair enough, but finishing 5th in the league, getting humiliated in the last 16 of the Champs League and winning the FA Cup doesn't constitute a good season for Arsenal, however it is dressed up.

Jamie86 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Can't say I'm surprised but they really need to let go and bring in new manager. I would have thought they would look to push the boat out for a Simeone but i can really see Arsenal being left behind unless there is a change at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So a club the size of Arsenal should be happy making up the numbers? A manager that churns out the same tippy tappy shite with the same type of player year on year that will ensure they'll never win a major honour with him in charge.

I'm an Arsenal fan and I have no idea who would or could replace him if he left this summer. In hindsight we missed the boat last summer with the likes of Ancelotti available. This is where i am with it as well, love carlo at the club or Allgeri but realistically both are tied up. I also think next season will be his best chance of winning the league with them not in the CL, play a second squad in the Europa league.

Locky Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Realistically, who could replace him? Arsenal missed their chance when Klopp and Conte were available.

Paolo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wish Hearts were this boring. 7th Cup win. In the last ten/eleven years or so, they have only won one more major trophy than we have.

For a team that wants to be one of the best In Europe, with supposedly one of the best managers around, that is pathetic. Precisely. Most of the other top teams in Europe would have sacked him about 15 times by now. But for some reason the owners of Arsenal don't seem to consider themselves to be a top team.

Paolo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 FM ! He's not playing the likes of Hamilton and Ross County When was the last time Hearts had a manager that won more than one trophy ? What a stupid answer. Yes, they are not playing the likes of Hamilton or Ross County. They also do not have the same financial restrictions as Scottish Football, and in particular we do. They are a very wealthy club. Look at all the teams who are playing at similar levels to Arsenal. They are far more successful and do not expect or accept mediocrity. If I was paying the price Arsenal charge for tickets and season tickets, I wouldn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So why are you comparing Hearts and Arsenal ? Because we have been as successful as they have, despite far more restrictions, difficulties and turmoil., for a fraction of the cost for tickets.

The Merse Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Made it to the Champions League quarter finals every year bar this one. How boring. Well that's not true. They've been knocked out in the last 16 for around 6/7 years on the trot I'm sure. He's obviously not a bad manager and has done a very good job for Arsenal overall but it was time to go. When was the last title? 2004? That's not good enough for a club like Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 They really need a change but old Arsene is backed by Kroenke whose happy with his lot. I agree he'd have been moved on at every other top six side. It can't be bad following Arsenal but they've all but guaranteed they won't be winning the league anytime soon. At best he's been told they need to shape up and at least provide a challenge for the league. Gonna be hard to recruit with no CL though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
