Might be Campbell. Would love it to be Campbell or Souness or Shearer though. How great would it be to see the Spammers and Gooners relegated in the same season?

If its Arteta then it confirms they aren't interested in competing. They are choosing a guy who is in no place to demand money to spend and will accept working with what he has. Just lovely.

What's the thinking behind Arteta though, are they accepting that there's gonna be a couple of years of ship steadying?

Can't wait to hear the fans' reactions if he gets hired, Robbie must be loving this.

I would assume they're thinking along the lines of a Poch project rather than someone who is going to come in for a few years and then leave. Wenger pretty much controlled the whole set up and they've been quietly clearing out his framework before and after his departure. I would assume they think Arteta, as a former Arsenal man, can come in and build a new dynasty.

Personally, will all the big names dropping off, I'd go with Sean Dyche. I think they could do a lot worse. But the Arse fans are spoiled brats who will only be satisfied with a big name or "proper Arsenal man" at a push.

To be fair if Poch were ever to leave and Sean Dyche were appointed, this place would rightly explode.

@Mods, I don't mean that this website should explode, I mean that people would be very angry. Love you.

I’ll see to it that the website actually will explode.

Maybe, but where Poch is making progress Wenger was in decline and while Dyche would not be an improvement for us, he might well be for them.

I think they could do a lot worse and the Arse fans need to accept that they haven’t got a Pochettino or Klopp to lose.

Dyche would sort out the ropey defence and only play people who would roll up their sleeves and battle for the shirt. I think he would be really good for them.

A mate told me that he met Bellerin in a vegan restaurant, shook his hand and said, "Mind the gap, fourteen points!" Bellerin retorted, "In how many years?", and then shook his head. I'd have asked him when the last time was that there was a fourteen point gap.

It does all seem a bit odd that they've sacked Wenger now when there doesn't seem to be any decent candidates either willing or available.
