Would Pochettino improve Arsenal? Nicholas not convinced ex-Spurs boss is the answer

It has been suggested that the Gunners should turn to a former foe if they part with Unai Emery, but a club legend is not sure that is the right call

Mauricio Pochettino has been mooted as a potential successor to Unai Emery at Arsenal, if a change is made at Emirates Stadium, but Charlie Nicholas is not convinced that the Argentine would improve the Gunners.

For him, there are too many issues to be addressed in north London for one switch in the dugout to make a noticeable impact.

Nicholas has suggested that Emery is approaching the end of his tenure, but the general consensus is that – similar to Premier League rivals Manchester United – there is a long-term rebuilding project to be undertaken at Arsenal.
