Next manager?

[purpletrousers]

Rodgers has ruled himself out

Took his time. Perhaps decision is now made.

[Villafirst]

Lampard was a gamble but he isn't doing too bad.

Darren Moore at West Brom? Henry and Terry would be great - Terry will bring discipline and organisation to the team. I hope it happens. About time we had a younger more modern approach.

I get your concerns Monty, but Henry has been coaching for 4-5 years now, so while I understand the concern, I think he will have been through that pain a little.

4 or 5 years, where? Certainly news to me. 4 or 5 months. A 5 minute clip on how Pep worked doesn't do it for me, interesting as it is. We only have to look at the gulf in smart pundits and reality to see the management career of Gary Neville, a player that worked with the best.. and still he was shit.

Maybe tomorrow we'll all remove our beer goggles and things will look more real. It's bloody confusing today.

we need a sea change in managerial appointments which have been chiefly stuck in 'the roll up your sleeves and get stuck in' mold for years. Henry and Terry are a gamble, but they would guarantee I take my seat in the Holte against Swansea. More of the same and I won't.

It's long than that, he was an u19 coach with Arsenal for a while after he retired and then he's been with Belgium for 2 years so he's probably got about 3 years of coaching experience in total.

True, but it's not quite the Arteta level even of working every day with the business end of things. Like I say, I have reservations, but if it is him I could certainly see a few reasons to be hopeful too.

Bring on the revolution!

I thought the highlight of his career since retiring as a player was making a short cameo appearance in the 2015 film Entourage. His part sees him walking a dog and having exchange with Ari Gold (character played by Jeremy Piven), who is an over-the-top Hollywood agent.

He became assistant to Martinez in August 2016, so that's two and a bit years.

The thing with Henry is that had he already proved himself as a manager elsewhere we probably wouldn't be able to get him.  If we ever want him to manage us, now is the time.

August 2018. before that he was Assistant Coach (Forwards).

That's without a doubt true.

Very true but let's not fool ourselves we know what we're getting.

As concerned about novices as I am, you're right.

I wanted Fonseca, but the issue is by the time he's proven how good he is, somebody else has already given him an opportunity.

And before that was coaching the Arsenal youth team.
