Writing was on the wall after fans lost faith in project
The Guardian|October 16, 2024
It is sad to see a journey that started with such promise end in a whimper. That is the reality of Jonas Eidevall's Arsenal tenure, which was bookended by matches against Chelsea - his opening game a thrilling 3-2 victory and his final one a blunt 2-1 defeat that epitomised problems that just would not go away.

Writing was on the wall after fans lost faith in project

With only one win from three Women's Super League games and a bruising 5-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League before the game against Chelsea, the feeling was that the writing was on the wall.

Eidevall's resignation suggests the decision came from him.

That is believable. If things had continued to go south, he would not have lasted. The atmosphere was increasingly toxic, the "Jonas out" daubed on a wall near the Emirates Stadium and mock P45 being waved in the stands was an indication of fan feeling.
