After that, Arsenal appointed men in suits to take control of the buying and selling of players. That was done entirely by Arsenal’s new transfer committee, meaning that two big signings, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, had nothing whatsoever to do with Wenger. I can’t argue with the idea Wenger has been the architect of his own downfall. I can’t argue that Arsenal have been anything but brittle for a number of years and that this can only be the responsibility of the manager. But the Arsenal job now comes with a giant health warning for managers.
