The Gunners are seemingly in decline over recent months and, you could say, possibly for seasons. However, our Arsenal fans here in the Transfer Tavern are wanting a massively overdue overhaul at the Emirates this summer.

A huge revamp of the club is needed with many of our regulars feeling it needs to start with the manager. Arsene Wenger has no doubt been a fantastic boss throughout his 20 plus years at the Gunners, that much is obvious. Moreover, he single-handily revolutionised the Premier League when he arrived in the late 90’s.

However, since 2004 and the infamous Invincibles year, Wenger has somewhat lived off the back of that success – and rode it to the hilt. Despite bringing in four FA Cup wins then and delivering Champions League football each until last to justify to the board he should stay on, Wenger hasn’t quite convinced for a while now and the punters propping up our bar can’t wait to see the back of him.

Our barman feels though now, especially as it seems that Arsenal will be missing out on Champions League football for the second season running. With that in mind, it’s time to look elsewhere, and these TWO managers could be great replacements…

Thomas Tuchel

The former Borussia Dortmund manager is touted as one of the best European coaches to be out of work at the moment and has been heavily linked with the Emirates job recently. He would instantly hook back up with two former Dortmund players and bring back that togetherness they have been missing at the Emirates, which was clear to see in the Bundesliga.

Tuchel’s last game in charge was lifting the DFB-Pokal trophy and he will be surely eager to continue where he left off.

Thierry Henry

This would be a huge gamble for the Gunners but one that would be very welcomed by the Emirates faithful indeed. Henry has been playing understudy to Roberto Martinez with the Belgium national squad for a while now, and his influence and experience as a player are paying off tenfold.

Henry knows the fabric of the club inside out and would be very eager to bring back the kind of football that won him so many trophies with the Gunners. It worked for Real Madrid with Zidane and, if it works for Henry it may be seen as a masterstroke in years to come.
