I’m not necessarily writing him off Ed, just think it’s going to be a big struggle for him given the expectations and budget spent. There’s a lot of talk about a long term project but it’s pie in the sky if Chelsea don’t at least maintain their CL status. As for Arteta, Arsenal had been somewhat adrift for quite a few years before he came in and Wenger had established the club as one which developed young players into stars as opposed to a big club having to deliver straight away, so a long-term project was a much more feasible proposition. Also it is often forgotten that Arteta did win a trophy in his first season when he wasn’t expected to which also helped his cause.
