Artie tried the Steinbrenner/Lurie recipe and it failed. So, the Angels are stuck for several years. I don't care who the manager is, if you inherit a sack of turds, you still have a sack of turds. If the starting pitching didn't have the injuries, this team would have a dozen (maybe) more wins, but still a .500 type team.
It's going to take patience and a St. Louis/Astros/Royals approach to re-building a team. The organization is a few years away from seriously competing again.
