Open to interpretation, me tinks.
It's gonna be Klopp. I hope!
I was talking to a sports writer (Express at the time, now Guardian) friend of a friend who was under the belief that Wenger had hinted (off record) that his successor would be a former player that he'd signed.

Remi Garde? Gilles Grimandi? (if there's even a modicum of truth in it).

I love to think Henry.

I've seen Garde's name mentioned before..others that are in seniorish positions are Overmars and Bergkamp ? Though DB10 would be hard to see for European games! Surely it's too soon for Henry unless he retires from playing now and goes into coaching pronto. I like the idea of Klopp managing with Henry as his No2....Heavy Metal football with a bit of va va voom thrown in!

Dragan Stojkovic was mentioned a as a possible replacement couple of years ago by Wenger, not heard anything since though.

Can you imagine him against Mourinho? He'd be shaking like a stting dog even before kick off.

Doesn't have the mental strength to be a manager.

He has managed at more than just Arsenal, so there are more players to consider.

realistically cant see any of these. none bar klopp have the balance of right culture, philosophy, experience of pressure, record or proven ability to run a top tier club.

i know wenger is completely delusional but even he cant put the future of the club in the hands of an infant just because they previously played for the club! mind you hes such a control freak he could put his infant in and effectively manage from the boardroom. hardly healthy but its what hes been doing already in a sort of round about way already.

and who cares if the manager has previously played for the club? i want the best guy for the job. 24mln over 3 years for AW gets you any manager out there and we can afford to pay a multiple of 2 or 3 on that.

there simply are no excuses not to go out and headhunt the best guy in business. we have the money, the position, the stature and the facilities. we are also the best club in the most important city in europe.

Kozzer out at the weekend. I reckon he could be out for a while. Not good.

Can you imagine Sol as manager and Gallas as 1st team coach - you'd have a proper melt down and blubbing in the technical area.

Cracking.

Yep, heard that this morning. He's out for 4 to 6 weeks.

This club is a shambles it really is.

On this week's Arsecast Gunnerblog said he'd heard Kozzer has been managing this injury as far back as the World Cup. I guess the Debuchy injury took away the possibility of rotating Kozzzer and Chambers and hey presto another chronic injury.

Unless the treatment for tendonitis has improved massively it's a rest, rest and more rest treatment.

In the light of that our inability to buy a centre back during the summer has to be questioned massively.

Interesting that Brian McDermott has been retained by the club as a scout for the season....hopefully jobs 1,2 and 3 for him are to find some more defenders and quickly!

Surprised there hasn't been any comment on today's result. Scrapping a point at home to Hull must rank amongst the hardest points won this season....

Sounds like we were pretty awful Alexis excepted....I don't think we've put together one solid 90 min performance yet....sloppy goal tastic and laboured in midfield all season. Someone did an analysis of the goals we've conceeded this year...a lot of them have been down to stupid fking errors or the team going to sleep from their own set pieces.

The same as last season and the season before and the season before that and..........

You catch my drift.

Perhaps those that have stood by Wenger are starting to wake up and realise he should have been booted long ago. I know I sound like a broken down record but until he fks off I'll keep banging on about it.
