I can see where Arse are coming from in all honesty.
A big, splashy name like Allegri, Simeone or Enrique falling flat on their faces would cause several seasons of disruption at the club. A Fergie-Moyes kind of situation. Allegri and Simeone's football is also highly negative, which is not something that'd set pulses racing, and may not be ideal in the PL. To boot, both seem emotionally committed to staying one more season where they are. You don't want to prize them away reluctantly - you want them to come enthusiastically or not at all.
As for Enrique, I'm always suspicious of managers who've only been successful with their former clubs - that success may be down to personal chemistry that doesn't transfer to another club.
With Arteta, you're taking a different kind of chance. If he works out, you may have a new Wenger. If he fails, fine, Allegri and Simeone will still be there next season, and you haven't gone through the trauma of sacking - or sticking with - a big name who's struggling. It's far easier to sack Arteta than Allegri. And going from Arteta > Allegri makes a lot more sense than going from Allegri > Arteta.
Honestly, I'd be tempted by Arteta if I were them, assuming all the behind-the-scenes talk of how sharp he is is true.
