      Yeah, hopefully that stability keeps going. Ali really calmed things down after we went through two U21 managers in as many years before him.

      Probably the bigger challenge is finding someone who has the same tactical philosophy as Arteta.

      I wonder if we’ll bring in an outsider or if we’ll promote Adam Birchall up from U18s.

        I doubt they wanna mess up the stability even more as much as I’ve heard good things about Birchall.
