Wtf is our board doing?
We're just a joke. If things don't work out with Arteta and we're forced to sack him mid-season after backing him in the summer, you have to worry about our next managerial appointment. Before Arteta we were flirting with the idea of giving Freddie Ljunberg the job! The people running this club are no good at talent spotting which makes me real nervous about them passing up managers like Ancelotti, Allegri, Conte, Tuchel, Pochettino, Sarri, Jardim, Benitez....
Next appointment will probably be a disaster as well. If it's not a Henry or Vieira, I fear they'll gamble on another untested midtable coach like Howe or Nuno or go for one of the international managers that's sacked or steps down after the Euros.
You’re abolutely spot on, a manager should be sacked now now 3 months into a deal thus ruining yet another season!
You’re right about the people in charge as well, they don’t have a clue what makes a good manager, that’s why they pass up all the best candidates and sign up people like Arteta on lucrative long term contracts without them having as much as managed.
I think KSE have gone for the same strategy that has helped the LA Rams. They gave a shot to a young and inexperienced coach and it's paid off for them with the Rams. I remember reading about the Rams new coach back in 2017 because there was a suggestion that Kroenke could look to apply the same strategy at Arsenal and sack Wenger. We shied away from going too young the first time round but it looks like we're there now. Arteta is the guy KSE want.
If you remember, Unai wasn't even on the shortlist and it was Raul that got him the interview. Didn't take long for both Raul and Unai to get the sack. KSE didn't believe in Unai in the first place but they listened to Raul. Now we don't even have an experienced DOF in football to even question them. We're in trouble. Edu also needs sacking. This guy fired all of our scouts and now we've hired a 3rd party company to hire more scouts. Why is it a third party? Why isn't Edu making that decision?
You’re right yes that seems to be the case, likewise a just Emery, he appeared at the last minute, I was somewhat relieved as Arteta was being earmarked prior to that, but low and behold we sacked Emery and brought in our first choice Arteta and whereas Emery got little or no support and got sacked after 18 months, Arteta after a pretty poor performance stays on.
But then this club is all about double standards, remember how Pepe was castigated for getting sent off whilst Xhaka was excused by Arteta, or how about we’ve played the morally superior card with this self sustaining model and then are one of the primary advocates of this failed super league.
Or how about how we sacked 55 employees during a pandemic but brought in Willian on megabucks and of course how we sacked Gunnersaurus who’d been with us for many many years.
Then there’s Xhaka swearing at fans and never apologising and being brought back in by Arteta, it’s like it never happened now.
Now we’re being linked with a keeper who is facing a ban until 2022.
I don’t recognise this club, it really has become one of the worst football clubs to support around, there’s so little it does the right way these days.
You’re right about Edu too, I thought he might bring something different, but he seems to be like all the others, now of them seem to make an ounce of difference or believe in accountability it seems, if Edu did Arteta would be out of a job by now.
