Arteta announced as new Arsenal manager

More Chorizo than Collyhurst but he could well turn out to be the Spanish Brian Kidd.

What I like in that when he says his work ethic is incredible that’s what you need to be the best.

What Pep says in public can usually be taken with a big pinch of salt.

Any other place of work you work till you leave or take off 2 days without pay to think about it

Not at all, quite the opposite really. In many white collar jobs where trade secrets or intellectual property is a concern this would've been addressed right at the first inkling he was potentially committed elsewhere, an "either commit here or leave now" type thing. Happens all the time in my line of work. The last time I switched firms I gave four week's notice and it was promptly declined.

It would be interesting to see how Arteta would set Arsenal up.
There’s no way they can play a possession based pressing game,they simply don’t have the players or the mentality/work ethic to do so.
I think it would take a much more experienced man to take on that job at the moment

This changing his assistant myth makes him look clever when in reality each assistant left for a manager’s job Archie Knox left to manage Rangers and a big pay day Kidd went to Blackburn and Ferguson fell out with him because he left. McLaren to Middlesbrough Queiroz to Real Only Phelan stayed

That Phelan must kiss great ass ;-)

Not quite. Archie Knox didn't manage Rangers, he was only an assistant. If it was a big pay day for a manager it must have been huge for an assistant!

You clearly didn't watch the amazon doco,pep encourages them all to have their own ideas and challenge him

I haven't seen it to be honest. Granted the camera's not always on the dugout but id expect arteta to encourage Pep to make some earlier substitutions in games. Doubt hes irreplaceable is what I'm getting at.

 

[waspish]

Arteta's decision could be an indication of Pep's intentions on whether he plans to finish at the end of next season or not.

Nope.

we seem very obliging when opposing teams hack our computers and tap up our coaches. Do we get annoyed at anything up top in the boardroom. Imagine the fuss if these acts were reversed.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit if he stays or goes, but wants it over with?
