Doesn't it slightly concern you that the board don't seem to have any clear idea of the type of manager that they presently need? Because if that was us I would be seriously worried at that. I said before the Arsenal Board has got to improve with its decision making. It can only do that when it knows exactly what sort to club it wants to be.
Not really. There's no 1 outstanding candidate, like there was when you hired Klopp, or when City hired Pep. There's different type of managers there, but they all have perceived pros and cons.
It's certainly a decision I wouldn't like to make. Should they go with someone known for building defence & structure to give the team what they lack, should they go with someone more open and expansive to get the best out of the attacking talent, should they hire someone experienced, is experience of the EPL a necessity, should the go with a less experienced manager but with an Arsenal link?
The fans and pundits have their own differing views, even on here there's differing views of what's needed. All this is complicated by the fact it's harder to get targets mid season.
Hypothetically if Klopp had to leave just now, do you think there's an outstanding candidate to replace him? Who would the names in the frame be?
