Don Howe replaced Terry Neill as temporary Arsenal manager until the end of season 1983-84. 

During this time Arsenal played 27 League games and won 11. Drew 9. Lost 7.
They also lost the FA Cup 3rd Round match at Middlesbrough.


He immediately signed the England striker Paul Mariner from Ipswich.

Mariner - Woodcock - Nicholas up front - could be exciting. 

Also, just like Billy Wright did many years earlier, he started promoting the Youth team players.
Also, just like Bertie Mee, another  manager would reap the benefits of this policy in the future.
