Now linked with Marcelino. Playing a defensive 4-4-2 will go down well with the Arse faithful.
Maybe not the younger social media whore types, but believe me most of the older ones would be perfectly happy to bring back “1-0 to the Arsenal” days.
Personally speaking though I’d be more than happy if they appointed him. Rather that than Allegri or Rodgers.

They would hate him. 1 Copa del Rey to his name. Perfect for their demands of a manager who has won titles and has pedigree.

You're right. Dein was the ultimate crooked spiv, perfectly suited to a crooked club with a bunch of disloyal itinerant supporters who care more for their social media profile than they do about football.
A **** among ****s, Arsenal and Dein was a marriage made in the devil's arse crack.

Was listening to the Mark Chapman and David Ornstein podcast yesterday and they were saying some interesting things about Allegri's interview with Arsnale that make me glad we never appointed him.
Apparently the powers that be at Arsenal were really keen on him and he was basically their no1 target. But then when he came for his interview he barely spoke English, even to the point where he struggled to make basic smalltalk, let alone talk about the job. His agent did almost all of the talking, not just translating for Allegri but basically doing the entire interview for him while Allegri just sat there, which obviously didn't go down particularly well.
Then to make matters worse, one of the few things Allegri actually did say (although again, via translation from his agent) was to say something along the lines of why should a great manager like him grace a club like Arsenal with his presence i.e. he tried to turn the interview on his head and make it like Arsenal were auditioning for him to choose them as his next club. This level of arrogance/self-importance was the final straw to put them off him and then when Emery came and did his famous presentation it was like a breath of fresh air in comparisson and that got him the job.
They went on to say that now that the dust has settled Allegri is still one of the club's top targets because the statistical analyst types at the club have consistently identified him as the most statistically compatible manager available or something. And he's supposedly been learning better english in the meantime. But either way, his arrogance instantly puts me off him and I wasn't overly keen in the first place. As for Arsenal who the fuck knows with them. Nobody saw Emery coming until the 11th hour so another left-field appointment might be on the cards anyway.
