I'm sure it won't be long before he regrets that move. Basket case of a club, the fans will be on his case almost instantly.

 

[Gwylan]

Yeah, Freddie wasn't cutting it. It was a terrible idea to appoint an ex-Arsenal midfielder with no managerial experience to such a high-powered job, that's why they've had to turn to Arteta.


Oh ....

#Artetaout was trending on Twitter before his appointment was announced

Arsenal are going through what Man Utd went through after they lost Ferguson. The similarities are striking; top manager goes leaving a squad that was punching above it's weight but chickens coming home to roost now.

The Premier League has so many good, tactically astute managers now that even Arsenal's position as a Europa League side is seriously under threat.

The key question is whether Champions League players will be willing to sign for a rookie manager at a club with no Champions League football - I see their marquee player Ozil is also off to Turkey for 6 months too.

The fact Ancelotti has gone straight from Napoli to Goodison tells you everything.

 

[AmexRuislip]

That's it now, all the bleeding heart Gooner fans are going to think they're invincible.
Arteta's lego hair will swing it IMO

 

[crodonilson]

Sad times, plenty of good British managers about they could have chosen from with far more experience and know how than Arteta.

 

[vegster]

Did not see that one coming...

I remember the good old days when:-

- The Albion's season ended.
- Mr Bloom paid off Mr Hughton.
- 5 days of shitefestary on here about not being prepared.
- Mr Bloom finalises a multimillion pound deal.
- GPott welcomed to the Albion.

If only we could be more like Arsenal.
Put together a random list of unconnected names.
Get turned down by a few.
Put Camp Freddie in charge despite being completely out of his depth.
Skulk around another former players house.
Eventually convince him to sign, at a considerably greater expense.


I'm amazed such a massive company can be managed so badly.

 

[Surf's Up]

Oh dear - big mistake methinks.

 

[Icy Gull]

Glad we played them the other week, Arteta will get much more out of them than the underwear model. Whether he can make them top four again, who knows and I don’t care

 

[Lurchy]

My only disappointment is that we have to wait until March before we play them again. There's something seriously wrong at Arsenal presently, a lot of toxic personalities and if rumours are true a lot of players who really don't want to play for them.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

That reminds me I must stock up on Pringle’s and popcorn. Arsehat TV will be going apoplectic after one game.

He’ll be gone before the end of season. This reminds me of Brian Kidd leaving Manchester United as a highly regarded #2 and falling flat on his face at Blackburn.

 

[Swansman]

As crazy as it sounds i think they are a serious relegation candidate and it will be interesting to see their transfer window. They need a class defender and a class midfielder or i could see them going down.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

It's a 'who cares' thread from me.

 

[perth seagull]

Arsenal should have went for an experienced manager with some pedigree instead of a rookie ex player.But you never know, they could unearth something special in Arteta like we have with Potter.

 

[albionfan37]

If aubamayang gets injured they are bang in trouble. Can’t see him sorting out that defence either. When you need to score 3 to win a game you know you’re shite #getemrelegated

 

[crodonilson]

Signed a new deal until 2027, huge fillip for both Arsenal and the EPL.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Signed a new deal until 2027, huge fillip for both Arsenal and the EPL.

Just not for his family, who have to continue living in one of the soulless big houses owned by Arsenal FC on the congested A111 for another few years rather than being bank in Sunny Espana

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Signed a new deal until 2027, huge fillip for both Arsenal and the EPL.

Rejoice. The Prem needs a strong Arsenal and Arteta is one of the most promising up and coming coaches around.

Am I getting the hang of this?
