π¨ Arteta & Berta have emphasised that this must be a beginning, not an end.
They point to previous title-winners who failed to capitalise on success by investing, and regressed.
In Josh Kroenke, they found a receptive listener.

After the Europa League Final loss in 2019, Josh Kroenke told his father that Arsenal needed to go younger, both in the dugout and on the field. That the club needed a βtotal resetβ.
Two years previously, the Kroenkesβ LA Rams had broken a modern-era NFL record by making Sean McVay head coach at the age of just 30. He has since went on to lead the Rams to two Super Bowls.
When Stan had initially raised doubts over heading down a similar path at Arsenal, Josh β then 36 β had asked: βAm I too young, too?β In November, Unai Emery was sacked and after Freddie Ljungberg's interim spell, Arteta, at 37, was handed the job. β πΆ [@MikeKeegan_DM]
