I wouldn't be happy if we employed someone without any managerial experience.
The Arsenal support are used to being more successful than us over the past 25 years and you would expect to be going for a higher tier of manager - probably who is seen as up and coming but has already had relative success.
Arsenal's squad has lacked a winning mentality for about a decade. They are capable of playing great stuff but seem to lack a backbone.
Perhaps Arteta will go their and be hugely successful but I personally think he would absolutely bomb. I don't believe the role is suited for either party at this time.

I'd take him for us, worth a punt.

This came up quicker than I thought it would
The people making these decisions are a hell of a lot more ITK about Arteta than any of us on here. He may well have built up a fantastic reputation within his profession and could have a list of recommendations as long as his arm.
Maybe Arsenal are looking at a different direction post Wenger and simply want a manager without a reputation who won't rock the boat or demand anything like the level of control Wenger had.
If they try Arteta and it goes well it's fantastic for them, if it goes wrong then it's not a massive blow to replace him. Getting shut of the 1st team Manager is an increasingly less momentous occasion and Wenger was probably the last of the empire builders.

Arteta with his tactical knowledge would suit sitting alongside a director of football type.
No matter what info the Arsenal board are partial to regarding Arteta, it's a gamble. But too much emphasis is placed on experience and reputation. What about character, intelligence and hunger?
Arsenal are like us in a way, albeit operating from a higher baseline. They need to take a risk, or they could end up drifting for a few years. I think this is a great move for them. I hope it works and other clubs take notice, like ourselves

Was a snide even when he played for us
very intelligent footballer so doesn't surprise me, where did he and pochettino work together?

Very odd appointment for me. Arteta could turn into a great coach and I loved him as a player, but it's a massive risk for Arsenal who need top 4 and challenging for cups at a minimum. They needed a more proven candidate for me.

They should be going for a Simone/Conte type for me.
