Rehire the scouts!

The other obvious source of hilarity this article brings is remembering Arteta's claims of their being a huge and ruthless overhaul of the current first team squad, yet, apparently, they haven't even got the facking scouts in place yet.

Joke.

This is the first scouting change since they got rid of Gazidis and his stat based system.

DJ do you mean StatDNA? We still use that

I agree with Leg/?Lex’s assessment, indicates very questionable decision making and poor foresight at the club which personally bothers me more than on field issues

This move lends credence to my theory that KSE were banking on ESL so appointed interims as manager and technical director after Sanllehi was fired. But now that project is defunct they have to do the hard work themselves and build a new managerial structre.

on just needing to implement this summer's plan to get Arsenal back to where it needs to be...
Yes.

on whether we may have to pay off some more contracts in the summer…

I don’t know where the summer will take us. I think every situation will be different and hopefully we are not in that position anymore.

on whether players will have to leave before we can sign players…

I don’t think it’s completely like that, but it will restrict and alter some plans in relation to what happens with one or two.


These are three quotes of the presser today, Lex.

Do you think they have a plan and are ruthless enough to force it through.

So many "ifs". We surely try to make a key signing this summer. I am sure of that. But we have to restructure the team completely imo. Not going to happen.

Under Kroenke we arent ruthless or proactive enough.

Next season will be another waste.

That huge ruthless overhaul comment from Arteta wound me up no end. Any "ruthless" overhaul starts with him packing his desk. Having him swaggering around giving it the large about shipping players out when it's 100% himself to blame for this seasons results is just insult to injury and a huge red warning. Moaning from fans about players has allowed Arteta to point blank scapegoat the squad he knee-capped with his sorry excuse for management decisions.

ANY manager worth his salt and worth keeping would have come out, put his hands up and sincerely apologized to the fans and players for his own failings. THEN maybe talk about squad improvements. This two-bob comes out and starts talking about ruthless squad overhauls as though he's in no way culpable for the dire season. Full blown "Well I was perfect, it was the players who got it wrong," attitude he's had all season. The arrogant little asswad hasn't leaernt a goddamned thing this season

*Except of course that massive, stinking, rotten, record breaking failure won't cost him his job at this club.

You are wrong.

How long we are told we are in transition and building a new team. How long have we heard promises that once we paid up the Emirates we would compete.

We changed manager and board stuff. We decline further.

There is only one constante there for everyone visible that is KSE.

Sack Arteta tomorrow, Edu the day after. Nothing will change. Every other manager will have his wishes to built a new team. That cost money and time. Time we already have wasted with Kroenke.

Arteta didn't fail miserably because of ke. No doubt that it didn't help him but when all was said and done, we started the season with a squad comfortably capable of top 6 if just managed competently. Arteta failed to achieve those results all by himself, through his own arrogance and bad attitude followed by his shockingly bad judgement calls and repeated 'same mistake again' bad decisions made all season.

I cannot abide the owner that much I've refused to even use his name for years. So there's no doubt I'm well on any "Blame ke/ ke OUT" train. But NONE of that excuses Arteta's pss poor decision making and it certainly doesn't wash as a reason Arteta shouldn't be sacked for the failures that were his and his alone.

The nature of the mistakes, the way he went about making them and most of all his utter failure to learn from and not repeat any of them, is in itself categorical proof that ke or no Arteta must go. We need someone who knows what they're doing now because they've been doing this stuff years. Not some arrogant fool yet to learn even the most basic lessons of management.

Arsenal FC is NOT a "Learner" job!

‘Arteta didn’t fail because of Kroenke’

‘Arsenal FC is NOT a “Learner” job!’

Contradicting yourself, WB2.

What has really changed. We declined under Wenger, then there was Ljungberg, after him Emery a guy who is experienced in international football and now Arteta failed.

I see only one constante in this game over 10 years of KSE.

------------------------------

Tierney, Partey, Gabriel, Mari joining the team for starters.

You keep talking about KSE and Arteta as though it was KSE making matchday selections and tactical decisions, it wasn't it was Mikel Arteta. I'm not denying that KSE killed Wenger and lumbered Emery and to some extent (Partey signing debacle) got in Arteta's way. But when all is said and done. Arteta got and had a squad of players capable of far more than he got out of them. And he done it largely through bad initial decisions and the critical flaw of being arrogant to the point you simply can't accept that you yourself have done/are doing something wrong.

"Can't be my decisions cos they're perfect, the players are to blame...even though I bench anyone who doesn't play exactly as I say to."

Maybe he'll grow out of it but it ain't gonna happen before next season and until it does, he's a worse than sh !t manager. Due to the state of the club, we need someone both half decent and with years of experience not months Arteta has to go. Unlees of course, you want to be watching the Gunners play championship football for 22/23?
