Who do we want in?  Included guys who currently have jobs because we all know they can be convinced to leave - happens all the time.  No reason that any of the names would be unrealistic, either, unless you're one of those gooners with an inferiority complex.

No discussion about whether Wenger should/shouldn't be sacked.  We know what we get with Wenger, we don't necessarily know what we'd get with a new manager - it could be good or bad, we get it.

Is Klopp out of the running now, due to Dortmund's awful start?  He's not the architect of Dortmund's transfer business, and would a truly great manager ever have such a poor run of results, regardless of injuries?

Ancelotti gets results and goals everywhere he goes, it seems.

Will Guardiola get sick of the lack of competition in the Bundesliga?

I'd take Pep, Klopp and Garcia, in that order. I don't think Ancelotti's philosophy is a great match (and he's deifnitely off the table anyway), Martinez has some growing to do and Conte is probably better off managing a more tactical league.

Is it possible to add alternatives? Don't think Simeone should be among "others". As for who I want, it's really difficult to say. Klopp, Garcia, Ancelotti (never gonna happen), Guardiola (never gonna happen) and Simeone are all managers I'd be happy with.

Not convinced by Garcia. His big match results and tactics is horrible going back all the way to his spell at Lille.

I don't think Ancelotti is possible, don't think Pep will be available too but if he is he would want to coach us.

For me, Klopp, Pep and Martinez are all good candidates.

I'd still want Klopp, I like his football.

Guardiola can fuck off, I'd never want him here. The soulless cunt.

ott but I don't like his style of football, I find it to be dull, drab, and metronomic. I wouldn't want us to play that way.

Ah, I see. I like it. Spain plays/played tiki-taka the boring way, by using it to score a goal and then just have possession for the rest of the match. Guardiola does it the right way, scoring plenty of goals with beautiful combinations. Bayern's playing some cracking football this season as well. He's not good with trasnfers though. If Garcia is responsible for transfers at Roma, I think it's fair to say that he's much better. Someone said that Klopp isn't doing transfer business at Dortmund, so that's disappointing to me. Always thought he was great at it.

I've only seen Bayern in the CL this season, but I remember his Barca days well. I watched a lot of Barca matches because my brother and my mother's fiancé are Barca fans. Didn't care for it much, even at the team's peak.

e: My preferred style of football would be the complete opposite, something direct with pace. Like Klopp, Ferguson, vintage Wenger.

I get what you mean. As long as the manager chooses a way to play, and it results in scoring plenty of goals, I like it. Both playing direct with pace and playing like us during the Fabregas era can be beautiful.

Simeone or Klopp.

Simeone would be the obvious one for me at the moment.

I'd have said Klopp a few months ago, but Dortmund seems to have dug itself into quite a hole, which is quite worrying. No room for that at Arsenal, given the competition level in England.

Wait, why would Pep or Ancelotti be unavailable in a few years time? I didnt like Barca when he was there, but IMO his current style at Bayern is much better.

Simeone is someone i would not like and i think he has no interest to manage in England anyway.

Garcia - meh

Martinez - interested to see how he keeps doing, but i think he may be our man, unless we get a big fish like Pep or Ancelotti.

Klopp does not excite me that greatly. Dont think he is a good fit.

Ancelotti is like a Mourinho who plays entertaining football and is liked by all the players. The only ways I can see Pep and Ancelotti becoming available is if they get tired of managing Bayern and Real.

My concern with Martinez is he wouldn't be a big enough change or developed enough personality to really OWN the transition. Seems a little 'Wenger-lite', and I think we could see that fail because he'd be a watered down version of a great.

Out of those managers who'd be most likely to cope best with not having the same spending power as Chelsea and City?
Probably either Klopp or Simeone.
Very obvious choices so, seeing as it's Arsenal, I doubt we'll get either.
