I’m massively torn about Arteta to be fair.
The romantic in me wants to give him a go, and the romance/nostalgia part is backed up by the fact that he’s been very very highly rated as a coach - there were even stories back when he was doing his badges that he was the most promising student that had come through the program... and how often do you see national paper stories about someone doing their badges? Then he’s had what, 3yrs working under the best manager in the world? You’d certainly HOPE he would have learned something.
But then on the other hand, it’s definitely a risk. He IS untested in actually leading a team (as a manager), and it would be a big challenge for him.
But then I look at the other candidates, and to be honest, there isn’t anyone there who isn’t going to be a risk. (NB. At least 2, possibly 3 of the top 4 vote-getters in this poll simply aren’t coming to Everton)
