I'm less concerned with the new manager and what particular style he wants to play and more concerned that those running the club resolve to raise the diminishing standard of the past decade.
I think yesterday will have reminded a few within and without that we're not just some club, not any old football team, we are THE Arsenal; uniquely traditional and classy. A true behemoth of a football club.
Whoever the new manager is we have got to start thinking like that again. From top to bottom.
I don't care if the new man only wants to stay around for 2-3 seasons, so long as we go hard to reclaim top4 within that timeframe.
I don't want us to lose our preference for quality attacking football, but I do want us to lose the idealism whereby the quality of the play is seen as being more important than the outcomes - no more pointless possession, no more endless passes in & around the area & no more profligacy in front of goal. No more using our genuine quality players to hold up a development project & no more compromises. A shape and tactic that suits the resources, and a team building strategy that is fit for purpose as opposed to bargain hunting and making it up as we go.
