It seems to happen to everyone, every football club, after a period of great success, as the people responsible for the good times grow old or are marginalised, even discarded.

Nonsense. Arsène was sacked for the crime of rejecting mediocrity in the pursuit of exceptionalism. We used to have special players, free to express themselves and fail, or produce wonders.

Now we have, erm, a little lad who runs s a lot in midfield and wins a few tackles. Woohoo.
