I'd normally applaud an appointment like Arteta - young, something different, take a risk etc. - but on this occasion, at this moment, I don't think he's the right choice. Arse are screaming out for a Rafa or Ancelotti type. A big beast who the players can respect, who'll bring order & steady the ship, but who also has the coaching guile to grind out the points while he sorts things out. Either of those guys is absolutely perfect for the moment. Rafa also has experience taking over mid-season, doesn't need a budget, and can work with a dysfunctional board. He'd be my insta-pick if I were them.
Yeah Bellerin came out with this
Emry showed at PSG that he needs to spend a fortune to win anything
It would have been had he not spent a billion Euros to win a domestic treble with the team that was already the best team in a one team league. Plus Europa League is a far cry form Champions leagueA bit unfair given his three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla.
For what it's worth, and I'm sure we already thought this was the case, but Poch turned down the goons.
Poch on Barcelona and Arsenal:
"This is my decision. I would prefer to work on my farm in Argentina than to go and work in certain places."
I'm old enough to remember when people thought Brian Kidd, Steve McClaren and Carlos Queiroz were going to be good managers simply because they learnt under Ferguson. Roll on the Arteta at Arsenal era.
Yep. And looks like the backlash for his comments is still ongoing with a lot of Chinese fans angry at him and Arsenal despite the club trying to distance themselves.

It's a poisoned phallice
Ancelotti's Everton beating an Arteta managed Arsenal?????Ancelotti named as Everton's manager most likely will be presented during their midweek cup game against LC and his first game in charge will be against...
Arsenal.
fingers crossed.... would love if they beat Arsenal in his first game in charge.
