Arteta would be wonderful but it will be Luis Enrique since he's the proven guy in Raul's eye and they worked together at Barca.
what the hell makes arteta a wonderful option? the guy has no managerial experience
i swear we have the weirdest fan base ever. ozil who has been largely disappointing over the past few years is viewed as a prime zidane, people are clamouring for wenger the dinosaur to come back, fans wanted arteta to take charge despite having done zilch as a manager
weird bunch we have.
We are not finishing inside the top four this season anyway so getting a young manager that learned from the best in the world and is spoken of highly by many Man City players is a great thing.
Also he knows the club, was the Captain of the team that ended our trophy drought and he actually speaks english.
Besides that his wages wouldn't be that high so we could get rid of him if needed next summer.
ill respond to you and Pat Rice in Short Shorts in one post.
the idea that arteta could be a good manager just has no ground. last season when pep got banished to the stands in two different games arteta took charge on the sidelines and he was awful, city lost both games and their fans were screaming and shouting at the fact he sat on his hands and done nothing. if you're going with the notion that he knows the club, ole knows man utd- how has that turned out?
it's one thing putting out some cones as an assistant but another actually taking the reigns at a club. by both your standards paul clement should have been a top manager but how has he fared? he's worked under some of the best managers in our era. if a manager as experienced as unai can't solve our predicament id hate to think how a rookie would fare.
this fan base is so sentimental and melodramatic it makes me sick sometimes, and honestly sometimes i think to myself we deserve everything we're getting. its that kind of sentimental garbage that's got us into this mess in the first place cause fans couldn't let go of wenger.
i mean if there was clamour for someone like vieira i'd get it.... he has at least managed a club. but arteta has managed a grand total of 0 games. if we want to take a risk on a young manager then someone like eddie howe should be the young risky candidate, not an absolute rookie like arteta.
