Try and lure Simeone from Atletico.

Or get Ancelotti right now to steady the ship and then bring in Simeone after his contract ends.

This is beyond Wishlist material.

Get Klopp. Ancelotti is a great manager but I think he'll do much worse than Klopp in a club without a sporting director.

Just sack Wenger and get Klopp.

Klopp definitely. No brainer

Ancelotti would makes the team contenders again.

Mick McCarthy

An inanimate carbon rod.

Or Klopp. No way Simeone would leave A.Madrid to come here at this point.

I'd take Owen Coyle at this point.

wenger is here till 2017 - hopefully that will coincide with pep leaving bayern. reckon klopp and ancelotti will be in new jobs by then

when wenger goes it could be a terrible for a while, because his imprint is literally in the bricks and mortar of the club. whoever we get needs to have dressing room gravitas and a resume to match.

Klopp would be entertaining at the least, and could certainly produce results.

Doubt Simeone would come here - our players / philosophy seems a ways off from his approach.

There's nothing at all to convince Simeone to leave Atlético for Arsenal of all places. Only area we trump them is revenue but Atlético's board has shown often enough they're willing to spend, way more than we ever will under Kroenke. Also there's this:

He'd have to sell virtually everyone in the squad because our team consists of a bunch of bitches.

We needed a manager yesterday. I'd take Klopp

This. Would piss off Liverpool fans even further as well

Pep's contract ends next year.

If Wenger actually does want to safeguard Arsenal's future and he doesn't intend to extend then the best thing for him to do is leave when the club has the opportunity to bring in a good manager. With Ancelotti, Klopp and Pep seemingly all up for grabs sometime in the next 12 months would be ideal.

This, because there will be a massive vacuum when we're finally free of him, but he has infected every level of the club with his barren ideology and his useless hangers on coaches like Primorac.
Someone like an Ancellotti or a Benitez who has massive experience to steady the ship would be great.

I would take Ancellotti today.

People need to realise that Wengers roots are deep in this club he's had 20 years to mould it the way he wants, he's designed the dimensions of the Emirates pitch ffs.
When he's gone its not just him but his coaches his system the players he bought (or didn't buy as the case may be) are gone too, the upheaval will be immense and the spectre of Wenger will loom large.
IMO the new manager will have a very difficult task and that is best left for one who is hugely experienced and respected in the football world, at least for a few years until the ghost of Wenger is exorcised.

:brow: Where did you get this?

The Emirates pitch dimensions are based on international standards.
