They’d of been better off keeping Emery. He wasn’t even doing that badly. I have never thought Arteta would do well. It’s a massive jump from being a coach to a manager in the hardest league in Europe. He hadn’t even managed any of Man City’s youth teams. It amuses me and even more so because I saw it happening while Woolwich fans thought Mourinho would be a disaster.
One thing almost all successful managers have in common is charisma. Arteta's completely lacking it. He's got an awful droney voice and comes across as a cold fish. He may have great ideas but if you can't communicate with and motivate players, they mean nothing.
