Arsenal may go for Arteta..would be a surprise tho.

[BobPaisley3]

Should be Allegri if he's available and they've got any sense.

[FiSh77]

Emery to Goodison then?

GOT's already got an Emery thread

Seem split over him mind, a couple of mad shouts that Arsenal are gonna nip in and beat them to either Pochettino or Artete

[Red_Mist]

Wolves manager incoming I reckon

[Red-Soldier]

They're a pretty big club, should still have some pulling power.

[Caligula?]

Should be Allegri if he's available and they've got any sense.

This absolutely. It wouldn't surprise me if they approached him over the last 1-2 weeks ala Spurs with Mourinho knowing that it was always a matter of when and not if Emery got the sack.

Ancelloti makes sense

Reminds me of us before Rodgers came in. We obviously went for the young, longer project manager, which is similar to what they'd get with Arteta however i'm not sure their fans are willing to wait much longer to become competitive again. Allegri would be able to make some progress with the back four while ensuring they utilise their strengths in attack.

[Dave D]

We should all be pushing for Arteta. Whatever helps fuck up man city the most.

#ArtetaIn

[Crosby Nick]

So that’s Arsenal as well as Spurs that now becomes a trickier away game than it was once looking. Do City still have to go there too?

Yes to both

[planet-terror]

farewell dark prince

[Buck Pete]

With the unrest at Napoli I'd be pulling out all the stops for Ancelotti

Although now they have virtually qualified for the CL knockout stages it may be a bit more difficult

I always think of Espírito Santo the same as Howe, Ok manager but at a club that just fits, not sure if either would work at a bigger club

[markedasred]

Just seen this now he isn't a bad manager just impossible to deal with them trying to change the way they play and deal with there terrible support

hope Rafa stays clear of Arsenal. I can see them going down the Chelsea route in appointing an inexperienced manager maybe go for Arteta

Nobody is talking about Rafa at the moment, when his stock should be rising in a growing moment of opportunity. For some reason, beyond me, as he should be returning to a team above the status of Newcastle, surely? He would make more of Arsenal than either Arteta and Ancellotti would I reckon.

[So… Howard Philips]

I always think of Espírito Santo the same as Howe, Ok manager but at a club that just fits, not sure if either would work at a bigger club

So Howe a definite for Everton then?

[Riquende]

He was awful, but I liked him (managing Arsenal).

[aw1991]

I admire Ancelotti, but he's someone you call when you got a squad of stars that you want to fuse into a good team. Like PSG or Real.

I actually think Howe can do something with their group of young players, but maybe better options out there?

[rafathegaffa83]

It's got to be Allegri coming in. It makes the most sense. I can't see them just writing this season off to go for Arteta in the summer

[[new username under construction]]

They'll probably want someone who can attract some names

[harleydanger]

Took so long to sack him because the board had to shoot down the hardware store to find a wooden stake

Moyes then

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

City have got to play them home and away and have the away game in a couple of weeks. If they take Espirito Santos from Wolves it would benefit us too seeing as we play them soon and City have already played them.

Moyes then

Steady there mate, there is only so much success one club can handle

[Iska]

They’re still Arsenal though.  They haven’t been an intimidating fixture for a top side for at least a decade.

[ScottishKopite]

Howe or Dyche need a chance at a bigger club I really like Dyche I would like to see him get a crack at. 

[disgraced cake]

I have a feeling if they went after Rodgers he'd still go there. Even if it meant leaving Leicester now. He'd be a decent appointment but there's a few options like Allegri who they could just ask to take the job without having to pay huge compensation to a club. They can only say no, I suppose.

Arteta could be a Solskjaer like appointment, imo. Just looks devoid of personality.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Lampard in charge at Chelsea, Ole in charge at United, and Ljungberg in charge at Arsenal.

[Gili Gulu]

Signing Luiz to play in a back four was suicide, especially in a team that has to play end-to-end to get the best out of their attackers.

They should go after Ancelotti or Benitez, And give them some money to buy decent defenders and a proper DM.

well bang goes that idea

[GinKop]

Some good options around, they should make a decent appointment if they have their wits about them.

Rafa would be excellent for them given what they need. Any Arsenal fans who think he is defensive should go back and watch some of the sides he put together for us and Valencia.

[Ray K]

Lampard in charge at Chelsea, Ole in charge at United, and Ljungberg in charge at Arsenal.

We just need Paolo di Canio to be appointed at West ham to complete the full house of early '00s club legends to be given top jobs for no apparent reason.

Paolo Wanchope must be looking at Derby's results and expecting a call any day now.

[RobbieRedman]

Signing Luiz to play in a back four was suicide

Especially to play alongside Sokratis

They have some potential on the way next summer, some young fella from St Etienne

However, major error not sorting out CB's and a real DM, fuck knows what he was thinking

[Lawnmowerman]

Some caretaker bullshit and then Rodgers at the end of the season

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Ancelloti makes sense

He is old and in pain after hip surgery. I very much doubt he wants a job like Arsenal with all the hassle, and a foreign country.

Not like Napoli isn't a hassle at the moment mind

[gerrardisgod]

Weren’t they supposedly close to appoint Buvac prior to Emery, just seen he’s 25/1 and I’m tempted by that.

[oxenstierna]

Give it Robbie till the end of the season

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Could be Allegri, although I am yet to be impressed by him (seems a bit like Mancini, did well at a team he is expected to do well at).

Rafa is the smart choice I think, or Rodgers

Nuno is a risk but a promising young manager

[classycarra]

Weren’t they supposedly close to appoint Buvac prior to Emery, just seen he’s 25/1 and I’m tempted by that.

Not clear that was actually the case, and it wasn't just people putting 2 and 2 together after the timing of his leaving our dugout

Would be a bit baffling if Arsenal choose to hire someone who hasn't had a significant managerial career to date, like Arteta
