Driving home after the Arsenal game, on the radio phone in, it surprised me how much of a legend Viera is to Arsenal fans.

I know he captained their 'Invincibles' season, but it had previously passed me by. With these big 6 clubs, they have so many star names, I didn't realise he was right up there with Bergkamp, Henry and Wright.

So it is inevitable he will get the Arsenal job at some point.

Whether he goes straight from Palace to Arsenal isn't clear yet, depends how well he does here, or if he needs to also do well at a 'bigger' club than Palace first

Indeed.

Pep has just two seasons left at City and that’s where his managerial heritage is.
