Yeah, a lot of bigger clubs (who have a lot to lose) tend to favor a policy of risk aversion - which ties in with the more established European coaches part, so Arsenal aren't exclusive in terms of their
potential approach. Tuchel certainly marries Wenger's oftentimes cold and indifferent demeanor with an ideology of playing expansive football, so he seems a natural spiritual successor - but he still evidences a sense of naivete at inopportune times, which would give me pause as a decision maker. Come to think of it, Arsenal haven't shown innovative thinking in a while now (though in fairness, they didn't have to - the last outside of the box managerial appointment worked wonders, ironically, and even their approach towards building their team through the first part of Wenger's tenure was innovative with several bargain bin acquisitions that turned into key pieces).
Howe - I don't quite understand. Seems decent enough, but slightly underwhelming, and is stood pat in his comfort zone, which begs the question - can he consistently challenge the very best in new surroundings (which should be Arsenal's aim, ideally). Though he is very likely to toe the company line, and not ruffle any feathers - if that's what Kroenke and Gazidis are looking for in their man.
Dunno, Hasenhüttl comes across as a much better choice than him - did well with what he had to work with at Ingolstadt (after leading them to the Bundesliga from Bundesliga 2), and has wasted no time in fast-tracking Leipzig's progress with a slightly unorthodox tactical approach (which also speaks to his ability to quickly instill some belief in the players). And coincidentally, he has ties with Rangnik, and, he must be well aware of Bundesliga based players - who're cheaper than their Premier League based counterparts. Was there any truth to the
Sun report linking him with your club, or were they fabricating stuff like they often do?
