What about emery with Wenger as DOF?

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Emery's footballing ability - I simply can get past images of Richard Emery - and that puts me off!!!

Without wanting to offend any of the middle aged here, I have a theory. It's largely based on listening to my old man the past few days, but it seems to me that a lot of the 45/50+ bracket have a real small time mentality.

My dad would literally take any manager. He thinks we need ''an old head to pull us away from the drop''. He lived through the 80's too. I'm utterly baffled lol

Why are some so keen to appoint an utter no mark?
I'm of that age and after seeing the glory years I'm desperate to see us return there. That doesn't mean finishing fourth or winning the cup that means winning the league and then the Champions League.

We need to get back to our motto, for me Emery and Mourinho are the top picks, I'd go for Emery but whatever your views on the manager we have to aim for the top and then work down the list. We shouldn't in my opinion be going for Mourinho and then the Dutch Moyes Koeman (copyright moutsgoat).

So in answer to your original point I don't think it's an age thing I think it's an attitude thing.
 

There is quite a few top managers available
Pellegrini
Jose I'm not convinced he would even talk to us
Frank

Who else is looking for a job, Koeman maybe.
Fair enough, mate. That's your opinion. Mine is that he has achieved wonders at Bournemouth and warrants a crack at a bigger prem club. That he's a blue, endears me more to him.

He done a cracking so far but he not ready yet, we might be to big for him like Martinez. That why we need someone bigger who won't drown like Koeman, Frank or pellegrini
