Should our senior directors be in talks with Benitez about taking over in the summer ? I think that this should definitely be an option. I am not sure that Arteta is really up to it.
Arteta's man-management is apalling . His "my way or the highway" attitude is too simplistic, naive and one-domentional. He is employed to manage the egos of the players and to get the best out of them . In my view he has failed on both accounts.
Whatever you think of Ozil, Guendouzi, Saliba, AMN etc he has not managed them well.
I'm not sure how many players he has actually developed. I would even say that some players have gone backwards or stood still.
We have no chance of top 4 in the Prem or of winning the Europa league so the FA Cup was our best chance to win a trophy . His team selection and the players he left on the pitch for the subs were a disaster .
He continues to play Willian, Pepe, Nketiah, Elneny who just are not good enough for this club.
It is clear that barring a disaster in the Prem he is safe until at least May. I hope that the board is actively searching out potential repalcements such a Benitez but I very much doubt it . They are as incompetent as this Government.
Benitez is free

A proper Arsenal legend. If Arteta was one, then his big man routine might have some credibility. I still maintain we should have gotten Viera, Bergkamp and Henry back here in various roles. Get Keown for the defenders as well.
Club made a big mistake when it took the "Obliterate any memory of Wenger's Arsenal" route. So live and learn, if it's not going to be a big established name then change tack and do what we should have in the first place. Put the legends back in to the Arsenal and I'd bet they'd bring the football back with them, pretty sharpish. Plus it's about the only thing that could essentially reunite what is a very fractured Arsenal fanbase. Everyone would fall in behind and the team get to truly feel supported again. I daresay it's easier to play good footy when you don't hate ya own fans

The majority of managers in the PL are better than Arteta. We should have got either Ancelotti, Allegri or even Jose.

Benitez hasn’t won a league title since 2004. Why don’t we just bring back Wenger.

Bringing back Wenger is not as silly as it sounds , he could do a good job supporting Arteta

Bring Wenger back as an advisor to Arteta, or as emotional support for Arteta? Surely you cab't be serious????

Bring back Wenger
Did the fans not treat him badly enough for you the first time or something?
No need for that anyway, the advice he needs is brief enough for one reassuring phonecall. It'd go something like...
"Start wearing your own clothes again, you never wore zose jackets before. I don't recognise zis...Manager Arteta. Zis man, 'e is an ass'ole! And ze Mikel I kno' is not an ass'ole. Be 'oo you are, not 'oo you sink you should be. Zen you will be ok"
