It's starting to feel reminiscent of the early Wenger days now that everyone's concurring we've been laying down the template for how to run a modern football club in England.
It was a bit different when Pep did it, because he came to a club that had won a title and was already stacked, and pursued methods similar to those he'd used at Barcelona and Bayern.
At Arsenal you've got a tactically gifted young manager who's learnt lightning fast and has now proven his vision of "specificity" had substance all along, creating a dominant system staffed by top shelf youngsters.
Arteta's also been the co-architect of a full first team rebuild that's been expensive, but looks highly efficient now. Even if we don't win the title, at this point the likes of Ten Hag, Potter, Howe, whoever replaces Conte, whoever replaces Klopp will be taking us as their model—will be working for people who tell them to take us as their model—because City's always been the exception.
