Surprised to see no chat about these pretty strong rumours about Marc Overmars taking on a sporting/director of football esq role!?
What's everyone's general thoughts on it?
Personally, it feels like we are finally making moves into a "post Wenger" era. Although I'd love to see him stay I think Wenger's history of being incredibly stubborn on his thoughts/ideas and what he had said about these types of roles will with see him leave completely.
If he wasn't so stubborn I think he could have taken a back seat or into assimilate role and lead a team of young coaches.
Dream scenario for me would see these legends come back and lead us to a decade of glory!!!
Viera - Head Coach
Denis- 1st team coach
Henry- striking coach
Keown&Bould- defence coaches
Lehman - lunatic keeper coach! We need a little more lunacy in the team!!!!
And bloody get Gary Lewin back to get our sicknote back to fitness in better time!!

Wrighty and Henry are Wenger deisciples but they don't blindly follow everything AW spouts, so... your point?

We have to replace pretty much 75% of the squad in the next 2 or 3 seasons, so there is a lot of work to do!

Wenger will never tolerate an ex-player being his boss. Must mean this is his final season.

What qualifies Overmars to be a DoF ? He was a good player but other qualities are needed.

I don't believe his knees with handle the demands of a dof role, stick him in midfield.
