What’s so sad about this is the way this has turned out, is going to make us regret a lot of our investment decisions. All because the eloquent manager is increasingly looking like a charlatan
The feeling I get from this team (and yes, it's a subjective interpretation) is that the players buy into Arteta as a leader but they don't buy into his ideas about playing football. Maybe that's the difference between being a lousy number one and a good number two, I wouldn't know.
Him constantly reminding everyone that he needs hundreds of millions to fix the issues probably doesn't help either. If you can't perform to any sort of standard with what you've got then you have no business asking for reinforcements. There's only the present in football. You can't plan for two-three years down the road when it depends on so many factors outside your control.
