In addition to honest and open communication concerns, there are also fundamental issues
of managerial incompetence, poor negotiating strategy, procrastination, dithering,
lack of ambition,
lack of willingness to compete with the top teams in the league despite supposedly being financial heavyweights, desperation at the very end
of the window, compounded by promises made when Arsene was re-signed and poor team selection decisions for the first three matches, further compounded by a pattern
of incompetence during transfer windows and in
general management
of the team in recent years that understandable has fan patience at a very low level.
