Anzac, if you were Arsenal’s owner, would you give this guy more serious money to spend? Wouldn’t you rather save it for the new manager? Let Conte come in and get the players he wants. Arteta will only go and waste it on the likes of Ramsdale. Arteta has done a lot of financial damage already. You’d be mad to let him continue to.
I agree with Goon in that you do one or the other from the start, but you don't do a half assed job or change tact during the process.
To directly answer your question = I wanted Arteta replaced after the UEL S/F debacle so we'd have an experienced manager to rebuild with, AND I wanted the club to go hard in the market both in terms of purge and rebuild.
Further to this I do not agree with the need for ALL incoming players to be 'EPL ready', and nor do I agree with the selling of HG players to supposedly raise funds to sign replacement HG players of 'starting' quality.
Additionally I'd also replace Edu as TD/DoF.
That said IMO we'd still likely to be fucked as IMO the club doesn't have a clue as to what it wants to be or how to achieve it, and I think it's strategy post AW has been ESL based.
