Ideally the new staff/structure need to be in place before the new manager comes in though. So that there isn't that vacuum we saw at Utd when Ferguson, his staff and the cheif exec all left at once. All the changes at Arsenal dropping during the season like this, probably has caused some disruption. But it needed doing. The club had to restructure for the long term. Had Arsene been more open and receptive to changes. They could've been done much earlier and much more gradually.
