Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I actually quite like Simon Jordan on talk sport ?

Same here, I only listen to him now and again, but he brings an insight into the club/chairman side that we dont generally get to see elsewhere.

I dont always agree what he says, but it seems like he puts a bit of thought into it and doesnt just talk crap to ding the controversy meter on TS the way lots of others do. Very erudite.

Ok he loves himself and thinks he's the sax player in Spandau, but as a guest, I always listen in.

Think that sums it up for me as well, i enjoy listening to him as he puts thought into what he's saying and will often defend people even if its going against the grain of the stories reported and vice versa will call them out if needed where others don't.

Ancelotti is up for grabs. Surely a perfect fit at Arsenal?

Surely not. No thanks. Worse than Emery in my view.

Interesting, I have always seen him as a top end, well respected manager. His record is pretty special. Do you think he is past it now or are you just not a fan?

Of the options available and the ones we've supposedly been linked with so far, right now id take Ancelotti even if it just steadies the ship

The man did the double with Chelsea and is a perennial winner, he's not everyone cup of tea but he can't be worse than Dick Emery

I can see how he'd do a job but I wouldn't give him a long term deal. I wouldn't see him as the answer for Arsenal but I think he'd get them playing better and pushing towards a Europa League spot. I still don't them getting a CL spot

His recent career is not one of long term stays but he largely delivers. He only needs to be at Arsenal for a couple of years, steady the ship, start putting a new squad together. The idea of giving any manager a long term contract now is plain silly.

I agree but clubs do it and then pay millions out in compo when they sack them

Ancelotti is a top class manager , his record is there to be stood up against the best

Arsenal should be onto him right now and getting him in - there is no better on the market right now

as for Everton - Moyes will go in .

He may win them the title next year but if not they should at least go back up through the playoffs

As was Wengers record, but at some point, the game moves on. I think Ancelotti's time has gone. Some one new please.

I don't think we can afford his wages anyway.

If the media are to be believed we will save on wages anyway because apparently we're looking at Paolo Sosa ?

 

[USER1999]

Sousa is a down grade on a down grade. May be better than Espirito Santo, but that isn't saying much.
Don't fancy Viera either. Hardly rewriting the book at Lille.

 

[Wolf]

I'd rather have Nuno than Sousa if that were the choice. I certainly don't want Vieira at all if he got appointed its done on sentiment and not what he can bring.

If you don’t want Ancelotti which I find amazing as he is a success anywhere he goes and still is now - who do you want ?

#prayforabigclub ?

Saw yesterday that newcastle are giving away half season tickets to existing season ticket holders. Has support got that bad under Ashley ?

Nagelsmann is my favourite, but then Ten Haag, Jesse Marsch, Marco Rose, and Jurgen Klopp. Can't see the last one coming. Or any of them really.

Would be ok with Arteta, or may be Poch.

I'd agree with your first 2 choices as being a good direction, even with Poch as well.

But not the rest, Klopp would be great but its a dream. I really wouldn't want Arteta at all especially as his first role. He may be under Peps wing but there's nothing there to me that suggests it would be a good appointment.

 

[USER1999]

I particularly don't want a manager who is available. I want the best candidate. If it means ripping him from a team that doesn't want to lose their manager, so be it.
