True but I don't think they can do much better either. The top 4 and Chelsea are comfortably better than them. Arsenal need a total overhaul, they've got a handful of players good enough for a top 4 squad and a lot of deadwood. It will take a long time to rebuild, even longer with limited resources as reported the new manager will have. I can't see the Arsenal board or fans being willing to be patient with a new manager, they'll want immediate results and go through a few managers if they don't get it, similar to United after Fergie.
