Used to be a fitness coach but then became number 2 to Mourinho and followed him everywhere. Never been a manager before but then neither has Henry or Arteta.

We have not one but two of the richest owners in English football, one if which will know Arsene Wenger very well because he is very well connected at Arsenal. I would imagine Sawiris would be very very keen to get in Wenger and Henry, and if you are worth £8bn you tend to get what you want. You're obviously entitled to your opinion but I think people are equally as entitled to react to it. Whichever way you cut it, it's pretty far fetched. How old is Wenger now? Has he indicated anywhere that he's even considering anything other than retirement? I'd have him in the same bracket as Ferguson in that they both became completely institutionalised at their clubs, to the point that finding motivation to be a part of another club is inconceivable. Maybe I and others are wrong and you're right, hence you're entitled to your opinion but if you're seriously hoping for someone of Wengers ilk and stature then it's likely you may be disappointed when we come to making the hire(s). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I wonder whether we're trying to go for a "Name" rather than looking at an instant Championship upgrade with someone like Chris Wilder. No great statement or upheaval, just a nailed on improvement may well be what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate having some thoughtful input from other clubs. They're not trolling, there's not so many of them that we're losing focus on what we're talking about, their contributions have broadened the debate, and they've got a sense of humour. That's not to say we won't have others who are a pain, but the recent contributions have been good as far as I'm concerned. Agreed, the ones we have at the moment from Hibs, Bristol and Leeds are more than welcome here. Edited October 5, 2018 by TheStagMan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Stoptober a few years ago. Went out with a mate on Halloween, he was driving, so we were doing he'd drink until midnight, but because I was doing stoptober I couldnt drink until after midnight. We went up to the bar close to midnight so my mate could get one last drink, I forgot about stoptober, had a drink and checked my phone- I failed it by 10 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So if Faria has been tapped up for a while and there is supposedly a link between our new manager and DOF - at least Man Utd's form can be explained. Jose looking for a pay off before moving on to his new role..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
