Arsenal remains one of the biggest clubs in the world and most managers would love the job.
I have seen some headlines today basically saying managers won’t want the Arsenal job because of the state the club is in, it is not a big enough job etc.
That is plainly ridiculous. Arsenal is a huge club and any manager with ambition would love to take the job on.
Also, any suggestion that no manager wants to work with the Arsenal board is also ridiculous. The Arsenal board is a joke for sure but look at the board at Real Madrid, Chelsea and even Man Utd. Imagine being named the Real Madrid manager, what job security is there? How can any manager expect time to rebuild or create a dynasty there.
The Man Utd board spent a fortune but look at what they bought, certainly not the players Jose Mourinho wanted. Chelsea sack managers for fun, even when they win a Champions League.
The Arsenal board may be useless but there is a lot worse out there.
A huge fan base, a magnificent stadium, owners that will give you time are all massive positives for any incoming manager.
Sure, the club is in disarray right now but let’s get some perspective. If Carlo Ancelotti or Max Allegri was Arsenal manager last season would we have seen the collapse we did? No, I don’t think so and we would be in this seasons Champions League.
So, do not be kidded by all the doom and gloom coming from some quarters. Arsenal remains a massive club that any manager worth his salt would jump at the opportunity to manage.
