Surprised how close this poll is.

"For sure he will be a manager," Guardiola told reporters.

"I would like him to stay with us as long as possible. But personal life is personal life, his professional desire is professional.

"He was a holding midfielder, he had incredible vision on the pitch. He’s an incredible human being, he has a great work ethic. I said after a few months of being together that he would be a manager one day.”

Sadly, it looks as though he is going to Arsenal but until he signs for them there is hope.

Cmon Bill, give the Arteta money to Mikel; welcome home!

Surprised how close this poll is.

I voted no....but i want to switch votes with all these rumours of Moyes, Hughes and Benitez.

 

[Lob]

I would change my vote to yes now as well.

I was of the “it’s a risk, but a lot of potential upside” school of thought.

I’m now fully on board, looking at who the alternatives seem to be

 

[Mark Pembridge]

everyone is a risk and with the garbage names getting put about id seriously consider giving him a chance......

I voted yes purely because of the likely alternatives. Big risk though, but who isn't

With this squad and their mindset, and the board for that matter, every manager is a risky appointment right now, I don't see anyone not even Mourinho as someone who is a sure thing for our club.

For that reason, I still like Arteta. am in.

Very fond of the Mikel, but still a no for me as it's a huge punt, who's to say he could command a dressing room without one of the best managers in world football standing behind him?

Who's to say it won't happen?

I wonder if Tim Cahill might be part of any potential team up - wasn't he with the club recently doing coaching badges? and his lads in the academy now.

You never know, he could slot straight in and end up in our managerial hall of fame! so many unknowns, but given our current state I would be too risk averse.

What this club needs now is more ex-players running the club. It's been such a successful two decades adopting our very own 'boot room' philosophy.

That’s what I said about Cahill.
