Accurate analysis IMO.
I'd further say that Edu's interview would even suggest more leeway, with anything between 5th and 17th acceptable, and Arteta given exactly what he needs. That's how far I think they've dropped the bar for Mikel to hop over. It would take a clusterfuck of results, like four/five/six losses in a row to bring sacking back into the equation.
The signs were clear for all of us to see... Arteta had done next to nothing to get the 130 million backing he got this past summer, yet he got it. Arteta had no business staying at the club after the Europa League second leg, yet he stayed.
There is no process that's being backed, its just the ownership forcing the issue, until their boy figures something out.
Absolutely spot on.
There is no process, no 'plan'. Its just have a yes man in the dug out, who's simply grateful (and very lucky) to be managing a big club, back him and make excuses for him till he flukes his way to some proper plan. If by then the club has gone to sh1ts, who cares?
Our owners need to feck off the most. This sh1t heap runs downwards.
