Doesn't mean the next guy will do any better.

I'm pretty sure Klopp is on record saying he'll never leave for another club.

I'm pretty sure Klopp is on record saying he'll never leave for another club.

and where did I say the next guy will definitely do any better ?

I said atm arsenal are stagnating under wenger and they look very unlikely to improve under him

i'm not an arsenal fan but I believe they pay the highest ticket prices in the country , is one trophy in 10 years really enough for a club their size ?

If they are to replace him, who do they appoint ?

Klopp will be unemployed in a few weeks if he continues, Dortmund are second off bottom. Even his loyalty would be tested when he realises his decent players all want to go elsewhere, and those that are forced to stay no longer give their best.

Im not a great believer in the "can they do better" or "what replacement can we get". I think you have to assess what you have, and what your targets are, and if they aren't being matched with ample time, you have to make the change. Wenger has had years to build something, and its still the same.

Sanchez, great player, was the least type of player they needed. DM's and CB's, needed for 7 years, not bothered to do it!!! Same mistake that comes to pay over and over..... he will probably buy a striker and a winger in January given cash.

Tactics? Gets them wrong time and time again.... cant go to places away from home and try expansive attacking football with your fullbacks racking forward....even after several beatings last year with several goals, they still go away to games at the big boys and play the same way.

Mourinho would have won the league with some of the teams he struggled to get into the top 4. Tactically, he has been found out..... he cant build a team to a plan....

Can you guarantee they get someone better for results? Nope, but you can get a man who can suss out the very obvious defects of the team.

If they are to replace him, who do they appoint ?

Eddie Howe. There's a history as his dad Don used to manage them.

Wouldn't want to lose him, Budget.

TBH, Arsenal will be looking bigger than that anyway.

Didn't work at Burnley, which was a blot on his reputation even if becoming irrelevant from what he achieving at Bournemouth..... personally, he is a manager that would be stupid to take any Premier League job until its the right time.

I know, it was a bit tongue in cheek after us hitting the top last night. He's still proving himself in the Championship and would have to finish in the top 6 by the end of the season to even get minor premier league clubs interested. I'm not sure he'd want to go in anycase even at the end of the season, he's said that he couldn't see himself leaving again voluntarily. But I guess if he continues to be successful at Bournemouth he would want to test himself in the premier league at some point, with or without Bournemouth.

Don Howe isn't his dad in anycase!

Chealski should seal their passage through to the next round tongiht.

Will be interesting to see if City can stuff up tonight in a new and more amusing way?

[Aidan11]

Took less than 2 minutes for City to go behind.

[yuppie]

Yaya you cant be the best player in the world with marking like that.

But goals like that help people forget about your marking

[Aidan11]

Messi now level with Ronaldo for CL goals. Both need one to equal the record but only one of them is playing tonight.

Messi also has an extra 90 mins as Barcelona's next match is the day before Real's.
