Football is lot like a relationship imo. A relationship can put you through a lot of ups and downs and it’s very hard to walk away. I leaned this the hard way. Don’t go back to an ex. Yes her a$$ might look bigger on her obligatory post breakup Instagram post but remember why you broke up with them in the first place. I don’t think people remember just how toxic things got at the end of Wenger’s reign. Do you think that would be a smart idea to go back to that AND Arteta in charge?
I agree with the relationship analogy.
It's hard, because there's always that part of you that wants to rekindle things, even if it's ended poorly because you love/d them and hope it can work out better this time. Logic is often overided by emotions in these situations.
Honestly I don't think Arteta would be an issue really. He and Wenger seem pretty close and I think Arsène is intelligent and emotionally mature enough to know not to tread on the managers toes too much.
I think if there's an issue it would probably be with others higher up in the hierarchy who Wenger probably feels hung him out to dry at the end of his tenure. I can see that being a bit of a stumbling block. He does still seem to hold a bit of a grudge there, which is understandable.
