Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has been linked as Arsene Wenger successor at Arsenal this summer – but the Arsenal faithfuls don’t seem pleased in seeing the Norther Irishman taking over Wenger at the Emirates.
Wenger is starting to seriously feel the exit pressure after his side Sunday’s diabolical Carabao Cup Final defeat to Manchester City, and the Telegraph are claiming his replacements are already being lined up by the club’s hierarchy.
Apparently, Rodgers appears to be on the list along with other managers in the likes Monaco’s Leonardo Jardim, Germany’s Joachim Lowe and Man City coach Mikel Arteta, with Wenger’s current contract at the club due to run out in the summer of 2019.
But if that expiry date was to be brought forward 12 months, and Rodgers was offered the job in North London, it seems as though he’d have a lot of fans to convince first:
Would Brendan Rodgers really be that bad a shout as Arsenal manager?
What do you think?

You genuinely don’t understand why people don’t want Brendan Rodgers? Really?

His transfer strategy at LFC was a crime against football

Is winning the SPL and flopping in Europe a good enough CV for Arsenal? At Liverpool he didn’t win any trophies, didn’t reach any finals, one top 4 finish, wasted a lot of money and went out of the Champions League at the group stages. Arsenal shouldn’t even be considering him.

The ‘Being Liverpool’ documentary exposed him as a narcissistic fraud – from the massive photo of himself in his hallway to the patronising ‘chats’ with Sterling and Shelvey and the unforgettable ‘envelope’ moment …….that’s without the abject failures at Watford and Reading

Luis Enrique & Brendan Rodgers have emerged as frontrunners to replace Arsene Wenger. Say what you will, but Arsenal's dedication for banter is unmatched.

I really miss The Office, if having Brendan Rodgers as the next Arsenal manager is the closest thing I can get, then bring it on. #BrendanIn
