Once again, we have a compromise. He is not the best available as both Pellegini and Emery are proven winners, he is a safe pair of hands, a la Moyes. We were on the verge of a new era, if this happens we have accepted second best.........

I think you could consider Koeman a low risk, low-to-moderate reward option . He's a comfortable appointment that is sure to guarantee you at least mid-table, but I wouldn't expect him to win anything major.

Emery, on the other hand, is a high risk, high reward candidate. He's young and has no premier league experience, but he's also a winner. In addition to all the accomplishments at previous clubs, he's won the Europa League three times in a row, which is incredible.

Pellegrini I'd say is low risk, moderate reward. Experience in the premier league and managing a top club is a plus, but his inability to get the job done at City suggests he may not be the winner we need.

If we have the money to spend on the squad, I'd prefer the high risk, high reward candidate over playing it safe any day.

Moyes is inspiring and can be cheap. The difference between this fella and Davey is almost nothing. This will be like throwing a wet blanket on our aspirations..........

With respect I disagree - Moshiri was heavily advised going into this process and made it clear early on that Koeman was the man he wanted. Bear in mind Moshiri has seen years and years of how Wenger ran Arsenal bang in line with the Arsenal's board's wishes. It's not a stretch to say he sees similar qualities in Koeman but the critical difference is he is prepared to back the manager to succeed on the pitch rather than meet financial targets as was the case for Wenger under Kroenke's command.

We really need to look at the possibility that, at present, we are not an attractive option for the big name Managers who have other options.
 
Had to crop it down to this because fitting in his full bonce requires too much memory and would make the GOT servers implode:
