I'm being cynical really. More likely that no big name manager with big reputation wants to risk the hit to their reputation of coming to what is an unsalvageable season and squad backed by owners who don't care and fail to turn things around and finish, say, 12th. With Arteta people would be more sympathetic of the impossible situation he was faced with on a hiding to nothing in his first job as manager and feel he deserves the chance to start to build his own team.
