decide to go at the end of the season, would Eddie Howe appease the fans? He's certainly the bookies favourite for it.
If we can get him (and it's a very big IF based on the fact he got incredibly homesick at Burnley) then I think he could be fantastic. He's eloquent, he demands football be played the 'Arsenal way', he is ruthless with players that speak out against him. My one concern is that he's never managed a 'big' player like Alexis, though I don't think he'll be with us next season. Not sure Wilshere counts as a 'big' player.
If not Eddie, then who? I'd want Simeone and he can bring his mate Antoinne with him.
Well the team that he won The Championship with was made up, two or three players aside, with players that he picked up in Leauge One.
Still three of the back four last night played in League One. As did Harry Arter, Andrew Surman and Dan Gosling.
I think he wants to take AFCB into Europe so may say no this season anyway.
If you think simian Simeone has even the remotest chance of passing muster with our board then you have followed Arsenal for even less time than you admit. The man is effectively a savage Rich and would want to park a flotilla of caravans on the Emirates concourse for his enormous and rather smelly extended family.
I've always thought Simeone looks a bit like Ron Perlman in 'The Name of the Rose'.
