    The timing of the announcement seems ridiculous.

    Doing it the day after all the football podcasts get recorded as well. Ian Macintosh will be seething into his panini album at the lost traffic.

    Yeah Agreed, I don't get it at all.

    If he sort of wants the squad to be a bit fired up and "fight for him" or whatever (would they...?!), then telling them in Private would be good enough wouldn't it?


    Must have something to do with finding a replacement or whatever.

    The owners probably want fans to actually turn up to games for the rest of the season.

    Eddie Howe as the replacement, in a typical arsenal way. Simone would be my preferred pick though. No English needed.

    My bet's are Enrique and Vieira, two underwhelming appointments for different reasons.

    He hasn't said 'blud' or 'fam', so he clearly puts it on for the fan channel.

    Definitely not. It seems the board was going to sack him in the summer so he's gone on his own terms. He'll die working in football, he has nothing else in his life. When talk of retirement comes up he talks alot about his Dad who became a shadow of himself once he had nothing to work for and died shortly after.

    He should roam the world conning idiots in China and Qatar with 'consultancy' jobs like some upper tier Sven.

    It was about 10 years too late but he's been a great part of English football.

    Claude’s reaction was great. Putting on the pounds, though.

    He's a proper yo-yo dieter isn't he? You see old videos of him at both extremes. It's probably grief.

    Nope. He may have to replace Chiellini, Buffon, Barzagli, Lichsteiner? I'd go on a high. He's won the lot bar the CL.

    Following Wenger at Arsenal would do to you what Man Utd did to Moyes. You’d be mental to take it on, but the same is true with the England job and it’s always attracting people somehow.

    If anyone can replace those sort of players Juventus can. If he went to Arsenal he would need a whole new side with a new mentality, and then he would have to guide them past five domestic rivals who are all better and wealthier than them. What would be the point? He would have stayed at Milan if he wanted to be in that sort of perma-shit position. Unless he gets an offer from the national team, the Spanish giants, Bayern, or 2020 post-MELTDOWN United ('The Deloitte Four', as they probably call themselves) he should just take the re-building job on at Juventus (something which has the added bonus of making whatever emerges 'his' team, rather than one that he mostly inherited).

    Is there anybody in the backroom down with the whole philosophy? Barca could kinda throw whoever at the job and get something out of it because everyone was in on it. Arsenal feels entirely of Arsene's making.

    Barcelona could throw anyone at the job and get something out of it because of Leo Messi.

    As his star fades, so will the strange power of the binman. It's already happening at the highest level.

    Now that I think of it, La Mesia's not churning out the next Xavi or Iniesta either. Or, if they do, they sign for City at 15 and get ruined.

    Jesus when you see it written down. It's Mesut Oezil plus crap (flakes at best), and you're looking at at least three MASSIVE summers before they're bothering the top four again.

    They do all seem like the stereotypical weak minded player. Mkhitaryan really was the perfect signing for them.

    That stadium would look out of place in league 2 though so lets hope Kiko is in the market for a new flat.
