Massimiliano Allegri has been suggested but I think Arsenal would have to agree to spend a lot more money in the transfer market and players' wages to tempt him to come to Arsenal. It's really difficult to think of anyone who would do a better job than Mr Wenger unless Arsenal start spending megabucks on new players.</blockquote>
