    Good to see utd with a bit of fight in their belly today. 2-0 down could have been a lot worse, great comeback to get 3-2 up. Unlucky with last min goal

    Allegri is a pipe dream for them. Arteta would be another disaster given his lack of managerial experience. Still think that Rafa is the best man for that job. He'll steady the ship on the field and he has the experience to deal with whatever is going on off the field.

    Dont see anything wrong with Arteta , he has a good few seasons at City now , former player could be good .

    He hasn't any actual managerial experience. Arsenal could be jumping from the frying pan into the fire with an appointment like that.

    Far from convinced that working as second in command at a club which has been incredibly successfully and stable, is good preparation for the top job at Arsenal, a club which is a circus on and off the field.

    Poch second favourite with some of the bookies. Surely they wouldn't go there:eek:

    Arsenal need a really strong character to go into the dressing room, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a leader on or off the field. Very weak mentally. To me, Arteta seems like another who will be too nice. I don't see him disagreeing with Pep much on the sidelines, which suggests he could be a 'yes man' happy to agree with others and follow their lead.

    Nah you need a strong experienced coach to come in and sort that mess. Benitez can have his pick of West Ham, Arsenal or Everton. I find it crazy that a coach with his CV isn't in a top PL job. He did a brilliant short notice job at Chelsea, stabilized Newcastle as best he could, not to mention he's won La Liga x 2, Uefa Cup x 2, CL, FA Cup. Rolled up his sleeves, managed in the championship, dedicated to the job and commands the respect of his players.

    Would the fan base accept him? Obviously if he's successful they will but it would be a rocky road. Desperate times desperate measures? It's probably too soon from his time at Spurs.

    Of course they would accept him. From what I can remember, there is no reason why they shouldn't? Poch didn't make bad comments about Arsenal, the fans etc. Sol Campbell made the switch directly, Poch would be a bit indirect.

    Also, Arsenal getting Poch would mean that Man United will not. Possibly even Man City in a year or two.

    George Graham all over again.
    (just the other way obviously)
    That didn't go too well, and he had at least been through a decontamination period at Leeds first!

    Don't think it is the right job for him. Think he needs to look to move up a level when it comes to the club stature. Man United fits the bill and the job should be available within the next month or so.

    Watch AFTV last night and Arsenal fans will have no problem with him, I believe. He has no history with them as Spurs manager. Spurs fans will turn on him for choosing to join Arsenal though, I'd imagine.

    Sky: Everton consider replacing Silva before the Leicester game with Moyes and Howe in the frame.

    If Howe goes there, we'll see a certain couple of posters very disappointed as their dreams of him going to United will be dashed.

    Still has 2 years left on a massive contract with Dalian Yifang. Would they really look to buy him out of that?

    Erik Ten Hag is the manager a team like that should want. Not sure he'd see that as much of a step up though. I wouldn't give it to Allegri. Eddie Howe another good option.

    But we all know they'll end up giving it to Arteta with a Henry or Vieira-type as assistant

    Rinse and repeat, for Everton, if that is the case. Moyes did a great before but he is not the right man for this job. Howe is not going to take them where they want to go. They'll finish 7-10 under him.

    Allegri would be the best choice for Arsenal.

    Brillant job at Juventus. They struggled in Europe before he arrived there. Would help sort out Arsenal's defensive issues.

    Why does everyone put down Eddie Howe?

    Brillant job at Bournemouth would be a good apointment for Everton.

    There a small club they cant attract a big name.

    Eddie Howe's stock rises and falls like that of a penny share, right now it's looking a bit shabby. The goals have dried up but the defence is a bit of a shambles. West Ham would be a better gig - they do have good attacking options, certainly better than Everton.

    I'm not putting him down. He is a brilliant manager but he doesn't have the experience needed to bring a club into the top six, which is what Everton need. It'd be the wrong job for him and he'll end up getting tossed onto the managerial scrap heap after a season or two.

    Everton need to concentrate on staying up rather than top 6 anytime soon.

    Leicester & Wolves are way ahead of Everton. Nevermind the usual top 6.

    Do Chris Wilder or Nuno Santo have the experience to bring a club into the top 6? They both currently are coaching their way into a top 6 position. Ironically, Nuno was linked with the Everton job a few years ago too, and some Everton fans were turning their nose up at him as he was unknown. They would defo take him now.

    Sometimes, young hungry managers have to be given the opportunity to bring a team to the next level. Look at where Poch came from and brought Spurs. Southampton finished 14th & 8th under Poch before he moved to Spurs. Spurs were finishing 5th & 6th before Poch brought them up another level to be 2nd or 3rd most seasons.

    I see Eddie Howe could be off to Everton.

    Can see a top club like Arsenal and Man United regretting not approaching him. Think he would do a great job at either club.

    You seem to be able to come home from a chinese club whenever you want, they don't seem to be very solid contracts.

    I don't even know if he would go to Everton having been Liverpool manager but a chance to work the EPL and the city his family live in again might be too much to turn down.

    I think Howe would be a very good appointment for Everton and would be a good career move if he eventually wants to move onto a bigger club.
