It's less about 'Arsene waking up' and more about the time it takes to turn it around. Ivan said in the meeting last night that they are addressing the wage structure but it will take a few years and they are not going to renew contracts for players that do not play. He also said we have to await improvement in commercial deals and FFP before we can compete with the best teams again, which is true, they had banked on the new stadium but then Chelsea and City came along and blew that advantage out of the water.
Quite interesting is the suggestion Fabregas refused to play to get the move to Barcelona to happen.
