It’s more than just a manager. Wegners last year and a half we were shite. We were more shitty under Emory, slight improvement under MA but it’s organization problems.

We went back to back windows spending big money on players that multiple managers struggled to find a way to play them on the field together (Laca & Auba). In the same window as signing Laca, we overpaid for Kola.

Sold a declining Sanchez, but massively overpaid for Henri M

Outbid ourselves for Pepe, overpaid to keep Ozil, over pay to get Willian.

Then we do business with a “super agent” to get a full back (Cedric) that can play on the right or left, but actually he’s so bad we have to put a midfielder in his place.

Then let Ramsey go on a free.

But yeah let’s blame the manager for not keeping up with the top teams when we haven’t been in the champions league for 5 years? And who knows what penalties we have coming our way with the Super League fiasco. No this is on the organization, starting with silent sam.

They can fire MA but it’ll be the same issues with the next guy. Not saying Arteta is the man for the job but he’s not our biggest issue.

We really went to shite when we targeted Xhaka and Mustafi. Xhaka is a limited player who you have to build around. This also coincided with the decline of Sanchez, and just shite play all around. Arguably we were a better team when we bought cheaper players who fit in better with what Wenger was trying to do. Buying superstars was a terrible idea in hindsight. Developing players is what we should have committed to.
