I know I am not an impartial observer here but United are on a completely different plane to Arsenal IMO.
Us currently being **** makes it look more attractive in some ways, I reckon.

Would probably just try and buy what's left at Dortmund tbh, which wouldn't exactly be a bad idea.
It better be zero.

Klopp's a clever manager though and under him Dortmund have become one of the most analytics-dependent sides in Europe; essentially one of football's closest things to moneyball. There might be a bedding in period but I don't think he'd waste the money at all, I certainly don't imagine he'd spend £27m on a lump like Fellani.
Would increase their chances of getting Reus though, you'd have to think.

The other thing with Klopp is as Cabinet pointed out, he's only just signed a long contract extension. Think he is unlikely sadly, all things considered, but he definitely tops my wishlist.

I kind of agree but at the same time it's a ****ing tough job and being the one to have to drag them out of the mire to the levels repeatedly achieved by SAF is a tough ask which many won't be up to.
Think Arsenal after Wenger has to be one of the most attractive jobs though - foundations of a bloody good side, long term financial security is assured, there's cash to be spent and there's minimal pressure from the board.

What would be the point?

Watching the odds is quite fun. Giggs has come in quite a way. Quieroz at 11/2.
Shortest for Simeone is 16/1 along with Hiddink, Conte, Guardiola, Ancelotti aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Martinez

The flip side of this though is the chance to go down in history to have saved/resurrected/whatever a massive club.
I remember when Ronaldo left us for Real Madrid there were noises that Real not being very good at the time only made it more attractive to him for roughly that reason.
I reckon us being out of the CL will be a bigger problem regarding attracting players than it will be for attracting a manager personally, but we will see.

I agree, that was kinda the point of my post

Not the worst idea either actually, though as with LVG I can think of definite drawbacks. We could do worse though. SAF has publicly admitted that he was a massive influence when he was assistant.
