Feck. Just heard about Ancelloti. If they gave him the job and got out of his way he'd turn them into a dangerous side again in a few windows.

Is Robbie the one who claimed racism when someone called him fat, which he is?

Not sure about that...

Ancelotti is approaching the end. At Bayern the players wanted him out due to him not being hands on enough. Napoli have regressed under his stewardship.

I just think his coaching methods are starting to become outdated. He's like a tactical Redknapp, arm round the shoulder, very relaxed but used to be very good tactical.

Think Goons need something different. Ancelotti would still need better players and he wouldn't have a lot to spend.

Oh interesting. Sounds like a way of doing things that requires flawless player recruiting under an all-powerful DoF working closely with the coach and that'll never happen at Arsenal. Hell, nigh on impossible most places, hence his drop down the pecking order.

So suddenly, not so concerned.

I would say Arteta remains their best option, they need an overhaul because they have a load of dogshit in their team. Reckon Arteta can work with the young players and build from there, he must have learnt something from Pep.

I thought Arteta was on to succeed Pep, so it was interesting to hear Ornstein say the City hierarchy don't want to replicate Pep, they'd rather go in a slightly different direction after he leaves, get a new voice in who can work with the same players but do some things differently.

That makes Arteta to Arsenal much more likely.

Just listened to some of it and tbh they both come across badly imo

Robbie whole point is “how many games you been too” isn’t a good one and after saying it several times lost any point it made in the first place.

aftv did grow through negativity but he completely right talksport is basically the same thing but just run by a corporation rather than a fan.

If SJ had answered the question, which he clearly didn’t want to, it wouldn’t have to be asked again. It’s pretty much the same as any interview on politics at the moment, only SJ cracked and was having a right strop at the end. Robbie again got a good bit of publicity off the back of it, which pissed off SJ even more and is the reason he wanted nothing to do with the offer of going to a game, he thinks he’s above it.

Will arteta be the man to sort that ropey defence out. Arsenal are not city and cant just buy the best to come in. Its a tough first job for the guy if they appoint him.

Arteta would be wise to start a club with a limited budget, to learn about having economic limits. Imo.

Listened to most of it and definitely felt Robbie made more sense. Tbf, all the arguments are on his side. The notion of TalkSport criticising another channel for giving a platform to morons is laughable.

Oh please appoint Arteta. Pretty please.

Definitely. He's never managed a team in his life. Not even Man City reserves or u18s. Nobody has any idea how he'd do but on the basis of having no experience I think its a massive risk for them to hang their hat on him.

I’d be very surprised if Ancelotti doesn’t become their new manager now.
Tipped for Everton and whilst I think Ancelotti isn't the coach he was he'd give Everton a lift.

Arsenal need a Nagelsmann/Ten Hag but I'm not sure if they'll even be able to attract them.

Jordan's obviously a prick but in his defence, Robbie has no idea how it feels to be the ex-owner of a club he loves. I can't stand the "how many games have you been to" line either, it just reeks of gatekeeping. Like fans who can't make it to games are somehow less entitled to express an opinion.
