Summary
This week's Arsecast is a day early, but comes in response to yesterday's club statement regarding the 55 redundancies being sought. I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss that, the framing of the statement as something necessary to keep team investment going, social and moral responsibility from the owners KSE, the timing of the communication, the fact our Head of Recruitment is being made redundant, how the players feel about his after being given assurances their pay cuts would save jobs, the executive structures, and lots more. We finish with a positive chat about Mikel Arteta and his impact at the end.

| 0:46.6 | not just about the redundancies themselves, |
| 0:48.7 | but how that was communicated, how it was framed, |
| 0:51.2 | and how it's come after what was such a glorious weekend, |
| 0:54.9 | and kind of knocked the stuffing out of the FA Cup win in many ways. |
| 0:59.0 | I was planning on talking to Philippe about that great win against Chelsea, |
| 1:03.0 | and about what it might mean for the season, |
| 1:05.8 | what it might mean for next season. |
| 1:07.2 | We do talk about that a little bit later on. |

| 1:12.4 | and some of the things that are exciting and have potential |
| 1:16.4 | at this football club, but it's hard or it's hard. |
| 1:19.3 | It would be wrong to ignore the other stuff |
