Ornstein says Tuchel going to PSG.
I had to look this up, because I did not believe you. I´m sorry.
Jeff Powell can´t be a real name. Nobody would have the audacity to publish this with their real name attached.
Tbf, the article does seem decent until that point. Think it even mentions the meeting in London between the parties. Maybe they do have an inside info, but then couldn't resist going into a fantasy world and throwing such bollocks inside.Jeff Powell is a veteran of Journalism who doesn't really do rumours.
If he's staking that much on Luis Enrique, I'd say that it's likely.
Decent shout thatBenitez ....knows how to win and knows what the Prem is about.
I don't know. He is a joke. But a joke can be really good sometimes too you know I think he did well with Liverpool, it was bound to fail never the less. If he run the circus he might be the right clown for what Arsenal think they need. Alz im sayingHow/why on earth is Rogers being linked with the job?! Surely not even Arsenal’s hierarchy would be that stupid!
Going from Wenger to Simeone might be a bit too much of a culture shift though. He’d have to fit most of the squad to get a tune out of them.They should move heaven and earth for Simeone, in my opinion. Bit of a departure from the aesthetic they had under Wenger, but he's a master tactician and motivator with a fiery personality, and could bring the squad quality and mentality up to stretch on a budget (relative to the bigger spenders), and also improve their profile in European competitions (which has been a sore spot for a club of Arsenal's stature and presumed ambitions). You get a sense that Simeone is coming to the end of his cycle at Atlético, and London should be cosmopolitan enough for someone like him. As a club, Arsenal do kinda need a shock to the system (like Wenger was after the broader George Graham era), and Simeone could give them one. They won't play the prettiest brand of football under him, but he will certainly engender more grit and discipline in that lot.
Brendan could be decent as well — he's done a reasonably good job at Celtic, and might be one for the long haul if things go well.
Why is Jardim such a great option and Rodgers is not? Because of one freak season? As soon as they lost a few key players they fell back into normalcy.Great Choices
Jardim
Allegri
Simeone (unrealisitc)
Acceptable Choices
Ancellotti (The LVG choice)
Tuchel (Does not get along with our new Chief Scout)
Better than the Ones Below but still do not want
Rodgers
Absolutely Do Not Want
Vieira (Moyes choice)
Arteta (not enough experience)
Howe (too much hype for the Brit manager)
Jardim, Tuchel and Allegri have all been mentioned.

After Monaco lost sugar daddy backing and they changed to a more efficient business model, Jardim led a Monaco side with Berbatov, Martial and Kongdogbia to knock out Wenger's Arsenal side in the Champions League in 2015. Even though Arsenal was the bookie's favorite, Jardim tactically outclassed Wenger with a side considered to be stingy and defensively sound while good at the counter attack.Why is Jardim such a great option and Rodgers is not?

No way does he belong in the same category as Allegri and Simeone.
Aye agreed, only didn't mention him as the question was English managers and he's from Northern Ireland.I'd actually take Brendan Rodgers over Dyche or Howe. Rodgers has experience at a bigger club, has one season where he overachieved with that club, has already experienced failure in the CL so is more seasoned there whereas Dyche and Howe could be overwhelmed at that level for the first time and Rodgers actually has experience doing well with star players - Suarez and getting the most out of a injured note - Sturridge. Celtic has given him more experience in the CL as well as confidence.
I certainly prefer Jardim or Allegri but if its a British manager then I prefer Rodgers (feels so weird saying that though haha)
Or because nobody else would be stupid enough to pay him absolutely anywhere near £350k a week. Probably that.German connections, Tuchel or Low I reackon. Everything has been put in place, ex dortmund guy in charge of recruitment and they've been signing the likes of Miki and Auber. Can't help but feel that Ozil might just have signed a new contract because he knew this was coming and has been told who's replacing him.
I would be in hair tearing mood! But anyone with half a brain would know it wouldn't happen... thankfullyImagine if they sign LvG and he actually does a great job, suddenly making Arsenal our biggest rivals again
Arsenal job most seem so appealing. London and a big club, fans will love you because you’re not WengerOut and the board will accept you as long as the season tickets get sold.
You are hugely overrating Ancelotti.It will be a nightmare for the rest of Premier League if Ance’s really going to take charge of Emirates. However i think Carletto wont lower down the standard and take that step back. If the one is Brendan Rodgers then we can be reassured that everything’s gonna be fine and Arsenal wont rival us in Premier League for all his years in charge
What a load of nonsense!It will be a nightmare for the rest of Premier League if Ance’s really going to take charge of Emirates
He did come very close to winning the league, but was then sacked the following season once he was found out, and as you rightly say, he’s currently managing in a pub league.How is it stupid?
Rodgers has came closer to winning the league than Wenger has in god knows how many years. Also came closer than any Man United manager since Ferguson left but we can gloss over that if you wish?
I imagine a lot of those that ridicule the thought or him as a manager do so because he's managing in a "pub league". He's only here because he's a fan of the club though and not because it's his level or the best he can get. Clearly he's way too good for the league and wouldn't be here if he supported any other club. He's a very good manager and seems to have garnered this reputation as a joke figure which is very unfair.
And fwiw, if I were the Arsenal board I wouldn't go for him purely for the fact I think there's better options that they should try and get like Allegri though I don't see why he'd leave a powerhouse like Juventus for Arsenal but it's always worth asking the question!
What's the FAM TV consensus on this one ?Tweet
