    I think he knows his teams are full of drugs.

    Manager's are all over-rated nowadays anyway. There's highly-qualified specialists in every corner of a club's backroom staff so their boss' influence is greatly reduced.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    How ludicrously prescriptive, b. Are you honestly saying you prefer a candidate like 44-year-old Tuchel over a serial winner like Ancelotti, just because his age fits?

    Perfectly understandable then.

    Yes. This isn't about winning things, it's about a wholesale change of culture. A gun for hire type like Ancelotti isn't going to do that.

    He might, you know, as he wouldn't be concerned about his long-term prospects at the club. Unlike certain senile Frenchmen we could name ..

    Hmmm - I get your point, but the wholesale changes are already taken place behind the scenes and completely altering the power structure will take, so I would argue throwing in a less experienced manager to front all of this is just asking for trouble. A more experienced man can handle the flak while we go through the teething process. Can you imagine the pressure on someone like Eddie Howe if he was to take on the role next season? (Although, possibly the best man for the job in that case is the man already in it )

    Wenger is not going to dismantle or rearrange His life's work in any meaningful way, imo, so we shouldn't get too carried away with talk of "wholesale change".

    His last four job outcomes as far as I can tell, remember I'm not a pervert:

    Chelsea - two seasons, sacked
    PSG - two seasons, sacked
    Real Madrid - two seasons, sacked
    Bayern - two seasons, sacked

    Hardly an inspiring record, is it?

    The best man for the job may be the guy already in it, but we won't know that until we get rid of him and try someone else.
