Steve Bould is the new assistant manager, just heard from a very reliable source.

I hope this isn't the third false "my reliable source" I've heard around here

Good test of 1989's source!

Let's hope he doesn't end up in the Sammy & frankbutcher category

You're all going to look stupid when it soon gets confirmed.

Yeah - any false rumours when it comes to what is happening to Rice will result in being creamed and then ending up mullered!!

Thankfully I've added my sauce and I believe it's reliable...

The rumours of Lehmann seem wide of the mark. I am hearing that Brian Talbot is a target. Currently European scout for Fulham.

I'm sorry I really don't buy this loyal servant stuff as much as I liked the man as a player .
He came back after his Watford sabbatical ,in 84 and did well enough for a time as the Youth Coach but has done nothing as assistant manager except hold the clip board or put the cones out .
If anyone could get through to Wenger it should have been him but he has chosen to remain silent ,mind you 1 million pounds a year is pretty good hush money !
The players don't respect him and ,if anyone has loyalty it's Arsenal to him not vice-verse as he has done very well out of the Club !

No one works at a place for decades if they are not happy, treated and paid well, but that doesnt mean they are not to be appreciated for their loyalty. Also there is nothing to suggest Pat have not countered Wenger's ideas, maybe he had behind closed doors (there have been couple of instances this season where they seemed to be having an argument during a game). It is upto Wenger to accept Pat's suggestions or not and whether Wenger is the type of person who would take suggestions onboard and consider implementing them is debatable. I personally don't think Pat is the yes man that most of us seem to think he is, its just that he worked under a man who has too much power and hates to delegate. If anything I feel sorry for Pat.

What has the Pat Rice ever done for us?
Just been involved various Cup runs (several European finals) recently the year after year of getting into the CL out of the groups, most exciting league win ever in '89, the relentless '91 Champions which only lost one game, '93 first ever domestic cup double, '94 CupWinners Cup, '98 League and FA Cup double, '02 League and FA Cup double, '03 FA Cup, '04 Unbeaten Invincible season, '05 FA Cup.
Yeah apart from that what has the Pat Rice ever done for us?

you are a mug

[highburyJD]

Talksport floating Talbot...

If the players don't respect someone who's put 40 odd years in at the club, that says way more about the players than Pat.

i'd bet you a pint Herd, that true professionals like Dennis, Cesc and the Famous Five had utter respect for both Pat and Bob, which is as is should be,

These kids can learn The Arsenal Way - or they can end up as drunks and rapists like pennant, bentley, bendtner and those sarf london chavs.

Yeah, has to be a wind up, surely?

Would love it to be true though

I'd be amazed if it's not Bould.

Remind us who started tht rumour about lehmann not too sure but wasnt it mentioned in the same post as Vertohagen.

[clockender1]

I'm surprised Brady hasn't been mentioned - 15 years as head of Youth development, ex-Ireland AM to Trap.

I still wish bloody Dennis would change his mind. stubborn bugger.
