There's not a cat in Hell's chance that Simeone will be manager of Arsenal. He's 180 degrees opposite to Arsenal's footballing culture under Wenger, so it would take many many millions to change the squad as drastically as he'd need for such a project to be successful.

He's perfectly suited to Atletico, so I cannot forsee him going anywhere for a few years yet.

I wasnt necessarily saying next season for Simeone
Soon to me is 1-2 years

The way the cashed up EPL sides replace managers says opportunities will arise
sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking on LVG & Wenger.

If Mourinho says no an inform manager in europe with a decent head to head against the best wouldnt be far off the mark

Simeone has now made 2 champions league finals - just needs a win to balance the ledger
and give his reputation another shot in the arm.

The way Levy @ Spurs operates i wouldnt be surprised to see key players sold on
if the price is right interupting their season as per usual

As for leicester hard to see to many being wanted elsewhere or wanting to move
Expect their wage bill will skyrocket from 48 to pick a number? for a once off tilt at the champions league / Europa adventure

I Think Arsene will go.

With the dignity which is required I hope.

I doubt, at his age, that he will be a Manager again...possibly an advisor to Les Blues.

He isn't ~~ imo ~~ the kind of character to squat in a 'Director's Chair' like Charlton or SAF both do at Man Utd.

I think he will go

Clean-Cut..

He had the ability to turn Thiery from a winger to a forward
brill...
He failed with Chamberlain and Walcot...but persisted...and iimo, that was his end. Trying to get English Players to be French Players....
Aresene is multi lingual, but I look at the players subbbed.

Like SAF...hardly ever a word to them..not even a handshake.
SAF did that, Fergie often ignored a subbed player.

I think he will go

Just thinking. The Premier League has pulled off two if the biggest moments in world sport this decade. Leicester winning. Before that, the way Man City won their first title.

I'm just curious. IN what way was Man City winning their first title one of the biggest moments in world sport?

Whatever views we might have of Shitty, it would be daft not to accept that scoring the two goals they needed in injury time, including the winner with what was effectively the last kick of the 2011/12 season, was incredibly dramatic.

It was on a par with Man U winning the CL in 1999 and Michael Thomas' last minute goal for Arse against Liverpool back in 1989.

Gotta say I love the 'I have a tenuous link to Leicester in some way, so please let me join in'talk we're getting.

Ha!

and I have eaten "Red" Leicester Cheese, and I rather like most Blue Cheese. Time for a new one in honour me thinks.
