After all these years that gif still makes me laugh
So is it Mckenna? Or Carrick? Or Arsene?
Give it Ricky Sbragia t'end of season.
Not that we are certain what Faria's responsibilities are but isn't Carrick a bit underqualified? He`s barely been in coaching for a few months.
I asked the guy on Reddit who said he'd listened to Howson's podcast thing, I asked him who it was and he said it was McKenna.
I'd love it if it was McKenna, he's been brilliant this season for the U18s playing some really enjoyable football. Plus the added bonus of having in-depth knowledge of all our brightest talents, hopefully he can point Mourinho in the direction of some of them next season. I know we've talked about it in the past with Giggs but if it's true I can't help but feel we're grooming him for management, just in case things go sour with Mourinho and there isn't an ideal replacement available.
Exactly. A new assistant isn't going to mean Mourinho suddenly gets us playing attractive football. It'll be the same shite served up unfortunately.
If Faria's off, I can't see it being for someone like Arsenal. Much more likely to pitch up at one of the bigger clubs in Portugal.
Wonder if Williams or Laird have a shot next season considering our full back woes.

So it's true then.
I was just about to call bs on this story, glad I didn't now .
.I’ll be happy if McKenna was on a path to eventually becoming first-team manager.
Interesting.
Didn't really believe the rumours considering how long he's been with Mourinho, but good luck to him. Will be interesting to see who takes on that role.
I dunno, similar was said about Meulenstein and Sbragia (during his first spell) and both have shown that they dont have it to be proper managers.
Change is good I think it's necessary, it will do Jose good to take on board some fresh ideas.
I guess you have to step out of the shadow at some point. I like him but this may actually be a good thing. Together they’ve always played the same way. Not expecting huge changes but fresh ideas might benefit us.
Does your man Howson make people pay to listen to his podcasts? If so what a knobber!
Yeah, I completely agree with you on the last part. Hopefully we will see some expansive football next season, if McKenna is indeed taking over. And if we do play good football next season, it'll be clear who that's down to. When the time comes, I wouldn't be against him becoming manager. All day dreaming at the minute, obviously. Nothing is even confirmed yet haha but you can't help but be excited if he can bring some of football that the under 18's played last season!
Noooo
Just kidding. I've no idea what to think about this.

It would not be Carrick, its too soon for him. I want Pep as Jose new right hand.
Why do you think this has come about?
Simply Faria wanting to leave? Or maybe enforced by Woodward to force more attacking football?

Very interesting and possibly positive news for us. Let's see who takes the role. Shouldn't be Carrick imo. He is still too inexperienced. I'm looking forward to seeing how the style of play changes. A new direction and fresh ideas will hopefully bring us much needed change in our style of play and getting rid of this 19th century football we still play.
When do you reckon we'll announce his successor? After the FA cup final?
Good luck for him in his future. I think Mourinho too will benefit with some changes in his coaching stuff to install new ideas. Hopefully it's not only Carrick. We need someone beside him.
Exactly. You couldn’t have gotten a more attack minded player in Giggs and that didn’t stop LVG playing such mind numbingly boring football when Giggs was assistant to him.
The only way we are getting attractive, attack minded football next season is if Mourinho either decides to completely change his approach to games, or we have a new manager in charge.
They'd kill eachother.
Interesting that Jose says about his happiness. I think it is on Rui
Giveth Giggseh
Pep would lose his eyes first.
People need stop with the whole Faria leaving because of our style of play. He's more likely leaving because he fancies a go at management himself.
Thread title change? With less z's. Giving me OCD that shit.
Would be fun if indeed Faria running job at Arsenal.
This is one of those things that probably will effect the club in some way, but there is no way to actually know how (and how much).
Also, it probably, almost certainly, won't affect the style of play.

Because Faria was the one putting the game plan ?
Like I said earlier today, I really think he has a chance. The Arsenal fans will be furious.
It really doesnt make sense with McKenna because the academy is still rebuilding despite the U18s good season.
Think he's probably taking a managerial role somewhere. Good luck to him!
There is no way that Mourinho would be dictated to on playing style and first team coaches. Mourinho would likely walk rather than have that happen.
Sounds to me like Faria has been offered a managerial opportunity and he’s leaving with Mourinho’s blessing.
