I dont want us to sack ETH, primarily because we have seen the same issues under multiple managers and things never seem to improve. When 4 managers have had the same problems if cant be just manager, it has to be factors beyond just them. Arteta had a horrid couple of seasons, yet he was backed and was allowed to bin some big names. He was allowed to bring in his players, instill his policy and now see how arsenal plays. My only and biggest criticism of ETH will the Mount and Antony transfers. But again, a competent board and DOF couldve easily sorted that mess out by bringing in other options.
Pep hit the nail on the head yesterday when he said "The entire club has 1 goal and 1 ambition". They have a competent board, people who know football. They have a style of play and go get players who suit it. Any player who is distracted or fails to live upto their standards is shipped out.
In stark contrast - We have a scatter gun approach in transfers. Every new manager comes in and wants 'his' players. No direction in the market, no philosophy , no style. Just noise. We are now the noisy neighbors. Our players want to do anything BUT play football. Whenever a contract renewal is near , they suddenly find form and our fanbase laps it up. as soon as pen is put to paper - boom, same old mediocre performances.
