The other option is to bring someone young in who can build a team in his image. It’s high risk though, as failure is more likely.

This would be an awful move. Arteta was club captain during the barren Wenger years around the time the 'lack of leaders' argument started.
I don't doubt he is probably a well adjusted sensible, moderate chap (who likes a decent wine) in the mould of a manager i.e. he can wear a decent suit and change between gilet over shirt and tie suit affair. But to propelled into a complex mess where he has zero experience or at all, is just madness or very risky.
Nothing he has done so far (including the fa cup and charity shield medals he has) and his coaching experience under Pep can guide this Arsenal team. A proven, experienced manager with skills to sort out a defence and stamp authority is required.

I don’t think there is any shame in losing to City, especially as we annually gift them six points anyway.
But the club is a mess, with an owner unwilling to invest and a squad whose deficiencies are clear to all. I’m pessimistic, the club need a successful, experienced manager to come in and completely restructure things, but I can’t see who’d be daft enough to take it on.
