Makes most of the stuff posted on why Arteta didn't work out and the nature of it sound like BS.
Well he's obviously going to put an overwhelmingly positive statement like that out, isn't he? Hardly gonna say "we went for Unai because we didn't have any other options interested".
I'm exaggerating but don't think his statement means anything. I'm with QS...jury very much still out on Gazidis. We'll see how this works out; I'm cautiously optimistic that we can get back into the top 4.
Anyone know how long Emery's deal is for? Have read conflicting reports ranging from 2-4 years.
