    I cannot see this happening. Why go from a youn, relatively inexperienced coach that could not change the culture…to an even younger, less experienced one??
    Unless we are going to blood the youngsters with a view to probably still being in this division next year. If that was plan then Lawless with an experienced number 2 would be the answer.

      He’s made great progress in coaching with Arsenal and he is close with Steve Bould who would be a kick arse no 2 and experienced defensive coach. Those two together would be as good as anything else in League 1

      Presumably because he’s worked with Yousuf Sajjad in the past, just like Reuell Walters, Cohen Bramall and every other underwhelming signing we bring in who happened to be in Arsenal’s youth set up at some time. Quite deflating to be honest.

              I think we should go for Brady because it’s a name, that just maybe, most people will be able to spell. No chance with Wiltshire, Wilshire, Wilshete etc.

                Given the money that has been spent on players and relatively high wage bill, there is zero chance we are writing off this season.

                We are 3 point outside the playoffs with 35 games left. So whoever comes in will be targeting promotion.

                Given the lack of options, either Wilshere+Bould or Wellens look like the only credible options.

                Wilshere would at least be something different, but of course its a gamble.

                Wellens would shake things up, just not sure he would be a Sweet type.

                  Top class young players moving into management, instant respect from playing squad.

                  I doubt any of our players knew who Bloomfield was, despite him having an excellent player career at this level.

                  If it is JW and Steve Bould, there can be no similar excuse.

                  GON and Scott Parker moved very successfully into management soon after retirement and I would expect 2020 are looking at that angle now.

                  Plus if JW does well there is likely an opportunity for a decent release fee….

                  Not sure why we have this fascination with former players like Lawless etc, we need a complete change and a huge kick up the arse and some new fresh ideas.

                  JW played and worked at Arsenal and then did well as coach at Norwich, it’s his time to step up and if he want the job then I would give it to him.

                  We don’t have much more to lose.

                      What was Jack Wilshere's first club?

                      I doubt any of our players knew who Bloomfield was, despite him having an excellent player career at this level.

                      If it is JW and Steve Bould, there can be no similar excuse.

                      Steve Bould had finished playing before half of our players were born.

                      Would Steve Bould want to drop down a division?

                        Everyone knows who JW is, the players would respect him. He would be the best player in training.

                        Appreciate it's a risk but so is Wellens

                            As a youngster

                            Never played for the first team - he was 12

                            Arsenal was his first team

                              He was quite a bit younger than that - he left us when he was 9.

                                I knew he was at Luton at 12 but don't include that.

                          But if the club believed that Wilshere had the best potential, the you could use the same argument to say Wilshete plus an experienced number 2., similar argument to Lawlless.

                            Frankly its getting harder to rationally fathom out any decisions, or lack of, that are coming out of the club these days.
