I said to the wife and kids last night that I think there will be a late twist to this appointment, and it wouldn't surprise me if PV4 was appointed before Saturday - since sunday night this whole process has dragged on more than you would expect, so it makes me wonder if either the board and/or arteta are not convinced and end up backing out

When have these wankers ever made a quick decisive positive decision.....besides when they are agreeing their next pay risenorthbank123 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:25 pmIf the board really believed in Arteta, they would have offered him the job straight away and he would have snapped their hand off. Particularly having “interviewed” him last year.
The fact that they’ve pondered over it for weeks before apparently tentatively deciding he’s the best option just sums up that they have no fucking clue what they are doing.

Update: 1) Arsenal have been speaking to Man City’s DoF all the way through the process, and are bemused by the stories coming out of the City camp. 2) Terms agreed with Arteta and backroom staff. 3) Contracts not signed yet, but due to be signed today or tomorrow. #Arteta
Re: Who would you like to see as next manager POLL
I think Arteta was their first choice to replace Wenger! but the widespread negative reaction on social media etc, was causing them concern! So when Emery came along he was a perfect get out!
That turned out to be a disaster, so I reckon the board have come to the conclusion that they should have stuck to their initial instincts, rather than be swayed by others

the whole thing as usual has been handled appallingly.
most clube just sack their manager and appoint another the next day with no fuss.
we can't even manage to appoint a non manager quickly !

Alan Stubbs on Arteta: "He’s got an opinion, he had that as a player. He wasn’t afraid to say something if things weren’t right on the pitch. He’s one of them, who if somebody crosses him, I dont think he’d have a full blown argument with them, but they won’t be at the club long" https://t.co/3sCMPorSL8

He still has no votes on here Mcd but I dare say if he comes in and bounces a few of the egos and underperformers out the door he will gain support around heremcdowell42 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 10:55 amAlan Stubbs on Arteta: "He’s got an opinion, he had that as a player.

Looks like Rodolfo Borrell will be following Mikel Arteta to The Emirates Stadium.
Borrell was Lionel Messi's first coach, he also coached Cesc Fabregas & Andres Iniesta in his La Masia days. He's also coached young Raheem Sterling back in Liverpool academy.

Re: Who would you like to see as next manager POLL
If this deal to sign Arteta as manager Does go ahead, and everything points to it happening, WHY? Oh! The Feck Why? Didn't the club just appoint him as TOF's replacement and save us all this misery, stress and FedTheFuckUpness.
Has he arrived yet?
Has he gone yet?
