    Hard to say though...

    Spurs have been cut-throat for years and its gained them 0 recent trophies. United have been equally harsh since Ferguson and they have gone backwards.

    I still think our best bet is to give managers time and backing. With Emery however I think its fairly clear - no major improvements are going to happen.

    Does it?! .. Before his last two jobs Mourinho had arguably the best managerial record in the game.
    Maybe he has lost his touch.. maybe he will find it again.

    I cant call it either way - but ultimately I think they are more likley to win the league with Mourinho. (probably more likley to have a terrible Season also)

    Loads of reports this evening saying the players have made it clear they've lost belief in Emery.

    My money is on Arteta or Ljungberg as replacement.

    not that I agree with those choices, but I think after the “experience” of Emery, the board will go for more of a gamble.

    Allegri for me, but I doubt it will happen.

    I think Arteta is the most likley candidate also.

    It's an interesting option he's learnt from the best in the game but his lack of real experince is worrying. Still I highly doubt we will be any worse off. If I was a betting man - im pretty sure we will see better football and climb higher up the table with Arteta in charge.

    I’d give Arteta a chance. If he’s picked up enough from guardiola he could do a great job. And if it’s too big of a job for him too quick he can’t do worse than Emery!

    Guardiola speaks very highly of him and says that he will make a brilliant manager.

    One worry with arteta - will he fix the defense?

    I think we’ll rediscover our attacking threat under him but our defense will still be ****.

    Arteta is a risk for sure.

    If I were to choose I would go.. Allegri/Simeone.. even Eren Ten Hag.

    But Arteta could be a great move. It just depends how much he has learned from Guardiola and how goiod he is at implementing those footballing ideas.

    I think we need to take one step at a time. Whoever we get in, we can't expect them to transform us instantaneously. Our squad is unbalanced, lacking confidence, has no motivation and are struggling to get the sheer basics right. For me, I just want to be entertained watching Arsenal again as we have been dreadful to watch for almost an entire year now. With the players we have, it's not acceptable to be as defensive-minded as we are, particularly as we are no good at defending.

    People say Arteta is a huge risk, and that is true, but these younger coaches tend to be more flexible and progressive than the old guard. Also, Allegri is a risk too. He's had significant wealth and resources advantages over the whole of Serie A up, meaning they've been able to dominate that division with ease. He may improve us defensively, but I don't know whether he'll make us easy on the eye.

    Either way, regardless of who it is we get in next, I hope that we still have something to fight for. Because right now, the season looks like it could be all but over for us by December.

    Last bit first, we'll qualify from our Europa group so we've definitely got that to concentrate on in the new year. Also remember the 3rd round of the FA cup doesn't even start until Jan. So if we do get a new manager in over xmas, then he will have two trophies to concentrate on as well as aiming to get top 4.

    As for who it is. Anybody coming in is going to have a tough time on their hands getting this squad of players motivated and organised, as we are a shambles at the moment. My first choice at this moment would be Pochettino, because we've seen what he can do with a group of good but not brilliant players. I think it's highly unlikely that he'll come though.

    Do we really want Allegri ? He's got a great track record in Italy, but I think the board will want somebody who knows the premier league so that suggests that Arteta would be their first choice. I think fans would also be a bit more patient with Arteta, so he'd get a free hit for the rest of this season, which could just help to settle things down a bit until we can regroup and rebuild in the summer.

    Impossible to judge the ability of a lot of our players right now, especially the new ones. No-one is going to be a true version of themselves under Emery. We all know what Luiz can and can't do. But Pepe... who knows. Could end up Coutinho... could end up Gervinho. But he needs to actually play under a proper manager to know what he can do. Oxlade looked rubbish until he played under a proper manager.

    Lots of our players look not good enough. They might well not be, or it might be that their ability might be being masked.
