Much as I like Arteta, there’s definitely a cultural bias in favour of Spanish coaches following Pep/ their international success. We’d never consider Mikel if he was called Phil and had been born in Bolton.
Not sure it’s warranted either, as most of the Spanish contingent managing at the top level (Enrique, Emery, Marcelino, Benitez, Valverde) are deeply uninspiring, while Pep identifies strongly as Catalan.
It’s why I’ll be voting for The Brexit Party on December 12th.
Like I’ve said many times if Chris Wilder was ten years younger called Christophe Wildaire he’d have been offered the jobs months ago.
