MARTIN SAMUEL: Everything that looked wrong at Arsenal WAS wrong... and that includes Unai Emery's appointment. Under Stan Kroenke they've become a selling club so why will it be any different for Mikel Arteta?

He did not get the players he wanted, the support he wanted from the board, Mesut Ozil turned up when he felt like it, Aaron Ramsey shouldn't have been allowed to leave and the players, even the famous captaincy group, were often mentally weak.

Unai Emery's first interview since leaving Arsenal contrived to be absolutely fascinating, yet wholly predictable.

The words were compelling because they came from the man who was at the eye of the storm. Yet what he said, the problems he identified, the mistakes that were made, had all been detailed in real time.
