....who some people might not have considered are Jurgen Klopp from Borussia Dortmund and Brendan Rodgers from Swansea.My stance on the Wenger issue is that he should stay to the end of the season, as he has a proven track record of getting 4th place, then he should go whether we get 4th or not, we need a fresh approach next season. However if this run of form continues against Spurs and Liverpool then that might change.
There has been some talk of Pep Guardiola, but IMO that would be ambitious. Personally I see him as Fergie's eventual replacement at MU.
I see Jurgen Klopp as a perfect replacement. He has taken a younger side than our own back into the CL and to the Bundesliga title, and he gives youth a chance without forgoing success and the odd major transfer. He knows how to get the best out of young players and he might be able to tempt Gotze over, although I don't see either Klopp or Gotze coming unless we get top 4. Klopp is a young manager, who is enjoying success with Dortmund but if we get top 4 then a club such as Arsenal should be attractive to him.
The other option is Brendan Rodgers. I see him as a decent option if we don't get top 4, because we should still be able to convince him to come. People might say it is like Liverpool and Hodgson, but Rodgers is a more progressive manager, who knows how to combine attractive possession football with an excellent work-rate and defensive solidity, something which Wenger hasn't been able to do for a while. He would also have the ruthlessness to jettison some of the deadwood and spend money on replacing them (and RVP) as unlike Wenger he does not have a possessive, protective attitude towards players. The only issue would be a lack of top level experience.
Two Managers....

I think Holland, Spain and the rest will have something to say about that, WMYC.

I think germany will win euro's. They have so much talent its unreal. They will dominate world football for next 10 years

I think Germany will be knocked out in the first round, Joachim Low will resign, take over Arsenal and bring Gotze, Hummels, Bender, Khedira and Podolski. And Holtby.
And then Arsenal will win everything in 2012/13 season

Holland have so much talent as well though! They could win this as well if they sort out their defence

Germany v Holland could well be the final, but it wouldn't be a massive shock to see one of them fail to qualify from the "Group of Death". On their day Portugal can beat anyone, including these two.

DJ! That sound very realistic to me, any other prediction just looks stupid now

Spain yes but I don't think Holland will be too much of a threat to them.
With players like Ozil, Gotze, Rues, Gomez it'll take a lot of convincing to get Low on board with us.

Sneidjer Robben, Elia, Van Bommel, RVP, VDV, Van De Wiel, are just some of the names that Holland have. They have such a strong team if they can just channel it

OP: Jürgen Klopp just extended his current contract with Borussia Dortmund. So forget about it.

I think I'd rather manage Dortmund than Arsenal to be fair. Fantastic club, great fans, amazing stadium, they all play with attacking verve and their youth academy is as good as ours.
Brended Rogers is a good shout. He gives all the grit and refusal to put up with pink boots and gloves that we would like to see but also educates his teams to play quality football.
