Surprised there hasn't been more talk of Patrick Vieira to be honest. Also very inexperienced, but more experienced than Arteta, let alone Henry.

I can’t help thinking that the former Chelsea number 26 is going to be in the style of the Stuart Pearce management/coaching, all about rolling your sleeves up and showing some PASHUN! That’s the nicest thing I can think of to say about him.

Totally disagree. Terry will galvanise the dressing room with passion yes, but I think there is much more to his armory, than a Pearce type cheerleader. I think the fans are going to love this if it happens.

Manages Nice in France now. Had a slow start (lost their first four this season) but picked up a bit now and mid table.

There actually is today funnily enough. He was being groomed for something bigger and has had a solid start with Nice. Maybe having just joined them he isn't willing to walk away.

Arsenal seemed to have plucked out a good manager.  9 straight wins.

He was hardly an unknown, even I had heard of him!

it's probably worked out well for Henry (if it is him ) that he didn't come in at the start of the season

after a couple of months of going nowhere with Bruce people have had enough and are more willing to take the plunge

if he had got a slow start at the start of the season people would have been saying we should have stuck with the experience of Bruce
He'l get more of a chance this way

as long as we're in the top 2 by Christmas obviously

With our defensive unit we will be lucky to be halfway  at Xmas.

Look where having  ‘experienced’ and ‘knowledgeable’ management has got us.
The time has come for a shake up and fresh thinking.

If we can stay in touch with the top 7 teams until Christmas, while the new people find their feet and the players get used to playing a system, then the second half of the season could be very interesting.

It must be happening as I’ve just been talking to the post office and Henry and Terry have been given their own postcodes such is the size of their respective ego’s.

I think Henry n Terry is a bit risky.  I can see them getting us promoted, following that up with a league and cup double before  fecking off to manage Arsenal and Chelsea. Wankers.

Agreed - I'm getting excited just thinking about this now. Mind you, I thought RDM and Steve Clarke was a really solid Managerial appointment too!!
