Henry is too much of a punt.  We need to replace Bruce with a proven forward thinking manager.

I presume T.Henry has the right coaching badges as he was working with the Belgium national team...

Whatever we think about Bruce.  To even contemplate replacing him with Henry in this league makes no sense on any football level.

This.

A pure fanboy appointment.
You don't get to amass the kind of fortunes our new owners have by making rash decisions based on emotions or by being star struck. IF they appoint Henry in favour of Bruce they will have grilled him on his ideas and his intentions. It won't be a "fanboy" decision. It may be a gamble but it will be a calculated one. To suggest that the new owners would make such a massive decision based purely on ego is quite frankly an insult to them.

I asked the other day who were the advisors to NSWE, I'm guessing they're corporate Arsenal fans.

Saying that, if we're going to waste another season in the Championship, let's at least waste it moving in the right direction. There are plenty of experienced managers without a club that could do the job, Henry seems to be an unnecessary risk.

Getting shot of Bruce is the easy part.

It’s all a fanboy thing. It’s them, with their play thing, potentially appointing a former world class player who everyone knows. It’s something to boast about and show off to those that care.

I'm not impressed with the prospect of Henry in charge. He isn't one of the worst pundits but he isn't one of the best either. As for those people who like the idea of Bould potentially alongside him in Le Dugout, Bould has been Wenger's right hand man in recent years and been criticised heavily by the Arsenal fans along with Wenger.

And we wouldn’t want to be doing anywhere near as bad as Arsenal...

I think the addition of Bould (if true) can only be a positive thing with his experience. Wenger WAS that club for so long and was almost entirely responsible for the stagnation. I'm not sure how much a no. 2 would have been able to change that. It's certainly a net positive if he joins to provide a counterweight to Henry's (hopefully) fresh ideas.

I noticed that you edited your post.
What did you call him originally?
