He is simply learning from the best there is at the moment. I would be surprised if we ever considered him to be our manager because many would consider him a big risk. Arteta always seems to be deep in thought and concentration when watching games and listening to Pep. I wonder what he is thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair point about the planning but I don't think he is renowned at all for actually coaching players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that actually has a plan! Not sure we necessarily need someone who coaches his players. If the manager has tactics / a system and has a proper plan that involves buying players that fit into his tactics and plan then does he need to do a whole lot of coaching? If I am building a house and employ skilled architect to design the property, a skilled project manager to manage the process and skilled tradesmen to do the work then I don't need to coach any of them in how to do their job. The problem is if you employ a carpenter and then insist on him doing all the plumbing then coaching (or lack of) becomes more of an issue. However, if you had had a proper strategy and plan to start with you would probably have employed a carpenter and a plumber. And this is where my main beef with Steve Bruce is - I don't see a "style" of football in his tactics or his purchases. He has had plenty of time, opportunity, money and transfer windows now to strengthen the team, develop a system, coach players to play a different role if he thinks they will do a better job but instead we still have people used in positions or roles that do not suit their main strengths. I also think that he is building me a 1990 semi when I really want a modern villa (sorry terrible pun!) but hey that is a different discussion. Give me a tactician and planner first - get things moving in the right direction and then allow him to bring in a like-minded coaching team to train our youth and young apprentices in their trade and our "style" or a like-minded scouting team to go out and head-hunt people who will fit into our "style". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I reckon Henry is on standby... as soon as we lose 1-2 games in a row... i reckon new owners will pull the trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah this looks like the end for Bruce. I have (and still do to an extent) support him. Big moment for the new owners - despite all the flak and wanting a 'progressive' manager , it would be very very easy to appoint someone worse than Bruce - I just don't see a novice like Arteta or Henry working. The owners talk about a statement of intent how about an approach for Brendan Rodgers - a "we are not taking no for an answer" approach - Eddie Howe , Sean Dyche - to progress we have to get a manager that is deemed 'ungettable' - an untested rookie won't cut it for me. Nathan Jones as a left field option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
