The Arteta hire wasn’t the problem.
They could’ve hired him and said this is a 3-5 year project where we focus on rebuilding the club and surrounded him with an experienced back room staff and seasoned football execs.
Instead he came in and tried to build on everything, wins the FA Cup and Arsenal sack their head of football because he was (allegedly) pocketing transfer money and make Arteta head of everything like Wenger.
Fire Edu, hire a proper football man to run the show, clear out the players he wanted to keep so dearly, tell Arteta to focus on the team.
