Even if Arsene struggled to recycle Arsenal the third or fourth time, for them to stick, take parts of their successful teams and grow around those few linchpins when teammates either move on to a new challenge or see their motivation drop and need to be shifted is a skillset that most managers don't have.

It's also telling on the era when we're talking about Pep being "done" for failing to win the league for the third time running but also still likely to win the League Cup (I hope I'm wrong there), be at least a semifinalist in the FA Cup and a likely Champions League quarterfinalist.
