He may be given one season with Berta, if he gets nothing I'd say there will be nobody at the club that would want him

Also
Does anyone else think he’s striker comments are directed at the board. I think he asked for a striker in January (and maybe the Summer too) but the board couldn’t deliver.
His comments are weird otherwise
"There were plenty of strikers Arsenal could’ve gone for last summer, but they spent a large chunk of their summer budget on signing Calafiori, a move that, now, looks a tad unnecessary considering how good Myles Lewis-Skelly has proven to be." ...Ian Wright.

In no world does a business model of "happy to spend a lot but don't win anything" make any sense!

They only got rid of Wenger aftet he could no longer qualify for the Champions League. They let him stay until he no longer made the club profitable and, quite frankly, after a change was well overdue. It feels like we're in that place with Arteta as well. As long as he keeps delivering CL football, I doubt he's under any pressure from the board.

We will drop out of CL next season unless urgent changes are made. We're on 67 points and 63 goals with 3 games left, these are absolute poverty numbers with the squad we have.

They got rid of Wenger as soon as he dropped out of Europe. Arteta’s fate will be the same.

Arteta has done better as a novice than we expected, but now it's time for him to go.
Really? You think he has done better than expected, having spent near £800m in 5 years????
