Each time one of this more recent generation of systems managers fails, despite having come in with the assurance of the sustained platform of a Projectâ„¢, I'm more grateful for both the Arsenal hierarchy, and Arteta.
Arsenal collectively gritted its teeth in the season we scraped to 8th place. The club had hired the right manager, was able to control the damage from transition and keep enough of its dignity in retrospect, and dug itself out of the Wenger years properly. Seems this is very hard to do: there's more often a lack of ability or a lack of will.
