Well we've just completely burned our bridges with Arteta. If he turns out to be the excellent coach everyone predicts he'll be, there's no way he's ever coming here again in the future.

Really handled this poorly and I hope Ivan is smart enough not to let "potential fan backlash" influence his decision making at all.
Tbf, the employer has the right to interview candidates and choose the person they feel is most suitable. That, by it's nature, means the other candidates miss out. And the club hasn't been speaking, nor has Arteta and (given the shock nature of the news) neither has Emery, so all these quotes and stories and other bullshit are invented and have no bearing on the reality.
