If Arsene was subject to known budgetary constraints. Why did Stan sack him and pay him off?
Especially knowing that a replacement could likely be shown the door after a couple of seasons with a payoff likely to be half the value of the rumoured 'war chest'?
Don't make no sense, no it don't.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
As opposed to last seasons results against Swedish part timers, Palace, Leiecester, Brighton, Bournemouth....so we can assume that we can go back and forth blaming AW or UE, or we can say perhaps it is the players ands lack of investment from above that is causing most of our problems

Yeah, because there’s no difference whatsoever between criticising a manager who’s been making the same mistakes season after season while presiding over a persistent decline in results over a 10 year period and slating a manager in his first season at the club from the very beginning before he’s had a chance to change the squad and the players to be able to play the way he wants them to.
