Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***
I completely forgot about the Gazidis/Mislintat stuff. Hopefully now the structure is set so people can get on with their jobs. How do you feel about the scouting and recruitment team and the ability for manager, executive committee, and ownership to be on exactly the same page? That is ultimately the most important part of this whole thing. While you're overhauling the squad (IMO you have very few veteran players who should stay past this year), you're going to really need to spend that money wisely.
You can't only rely on the youth that you have at the squad now if you're really serious about competing in the league going forward. And yes, Arsenal Football Club should be expected to make a quick turnaround given their history and resources - not to mention the state of the clubs they are directly completing with. All you have to do is look at where Liverpool were at when Klopp took over and how quickly a good plan was implemented. I'm not saying Arsenal should expect THAT kind of success within 3 years, but they certainly should be competing where they belong very quickly and you supporters should be expecting that too. It might be a new book, but if you do it right, you can pen that book quickly.
I guess I'm just frustrated for you guys. I'd much rather have clubs likes Arsenal competing in the European spots than the likes of Sheffield United trying to 1-0 their way into the Europa League...
