Essentially Arteta turned Arse down. LooL.
And is the idea here that the transfer arrangements weren't acceptable to Arteta, but are to Emery? That makes no sense. It's as if Arse are getting caught between two stools. On the one hand, appointing a Galactico manager; on the other, going for an up-and-coming one. Which is Emery? They're kinda getting a bit of both. That either points to muddled thinking, or an inspired choice.
The case for it being a muddled decision is backed up by the back-room structure Arse have put in place in the last 18 months. That structure is all set up for an Arteta type, not really for an Emery type. A lot of cooks making the broth there now, and with Emery not speaking English, it has the potential for messiness.
He looks an interesting pick, and has got a pretty impressive record for someone who's only 46, but this appointment has the faint whiff of confusion about it for me.
He's been learning though.Radio 5 live saying he doesn’t speak English.

So they're just going with the cheapest option? Figures.
