You'd like to think he'd be allowed to see the season out, barring some kind of rabid fan meltdown. I'm sure none of us want to see him sacked.
It's a bit like that last season when GG lost the plot and we signed Kiwomya. We're in a much better position of course but those same seeds of stagnation are firmly bedded in.
I think Arsene probably feels as though he has a point to prove.
Let's just make the best of it, shall we? I know that funds, ex players and pundits are all calling for his resignation, but we should at least try to be pragmatic. Things will get better.
If he ****s Alexis, Ozil and Ox off then I think the speerit in the changing room will be much better.
