He did need to be removed but our board are a fundamental problem which is a limiting factor.
But the right manager could still achieve something, it's laughable they're looking at Arteta although it can't be worse than Freddie.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
If we’re going to for a inexperienced manager might as well go for Vieira, he has Arsenal blood (I know people go on about how he courted Madrid as a player) though his agent had a lot to do with it , he also won titles when he was here, and he should have his own backup team and I cannot see City letting Arteta bring people with him.
maybe that's the idea... save the cost of hiring a new team.
I agree - if we are going for inexperienced manager then Vieira as he has a least managed a club or two.
But we should go for Rafa. someone to organise the team over the next 18 months. We need a more defence minded coach. When we brought in Wenger - he had a solid back four to rely on, so he was able to develop the team to his strengths and that was attacking play.
Now our attack is expensive... so we should try to focus on the defence.
Looks like Arteta is going to be the man..

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
