#1 Mikel Arteta needs to be backed by the board
It’s pretty fair to say that Arsène Wenger was undoubtedly made a scapegoat for the failure of the board. The Frenchman had the intention and ambition to take the Gunners further but was not always backed by those higher up. If Arsenal is to make any progress this season, Arteta must be fully backed by the board. It’s all well and good hiring a technical director, but without the funds being invested where Arteta wants them, it’s in vain.
The new Arsenal manager has already made it clear that he’s seeking to bring in defensive reinforcements. Arsenal fans don’t just want reinforcements, they want a world-class CB that will go straight into the starting XI. All those at the club must be singing from the same hymn sheet. If not, the promising start made by the new manager will soon be a distant memory. The desire to win the league must be seen from top to bottom, not just through the manager.
