When will Arteta be sacked by

[Letters]

Arteta will be here a dozen years and wont win anything of value. Told you that 5 years ago. We will hopefully live to see the back of this clown. There is no there, there. Club leading the fans on a road to nowhere as always

A very high percentage of managers fail anyway, and Arteta hasn’t been manager anywhere else, he had no pedigree at this level. You don’t get any spidey sense points for that “prediction”.
Overall he’s done pretty well. He’s made us into genuine contenders. We are the only side to have even challenged City for the last 2 seasons and last year we pushed them to the last day. We got 89 points, our second best in the PL, only one point off The Invincibles. Arteta hasn’t been the abject failure you presumably predicted.
That said, it seems increasingly clear that Arteta isn’t going to get us over the line. I bear him no ill will, but we do need to move on from him. Although I agree we probably won’t.

I know that I am always guilty of bringing up this thread after we have been embarrassed by a mid table team. However, how long will the Krankees put up with Arteta? £750m spent and one FA cup. It's just not good enough.

I simultaneously think that Arteta should be sacked for not winning us the title this season - or at the very least making Liverpool work for it - and think that this isn't all his fault. He made some comments which sounded like he was somewhat frustrated at our lack of transfer dealings in January, this isn't all on him.
But enough of it is to make me think he should go. I don't think he's going to land us a big trophy.

The summer window is on him and he let Auba go without replacing him, unless you consider Sterling as a replacement. Even then, he had from the summer to January to plan for the interim window. Yetit seemed we were scrabbling around at the last minute to sign Watkins. It's a bit like a guy driving towards a brick wall at speed but only taking action when the car hits the wall.

Is it, though?
I don't know the answer to that, but I thought that was Edu's job.
I'm sure Arteta gets to input into it, but he's not the one making the deals. This is not like back in the day when Fergie or Wenger would talk to someone directly, I'm not sure it works like that any more.

It starts with the manager, he's got to build the squad. Edu and the executives aren't going to buy and sell players off their own backs, the primary consideration will be what the manager tells them he needs. There will be other considerations, like the finances, willingness of transfer targets to join, personal terms, etc, but it all starts with the manager. How did we end up with Sterling? The only way you can let Arteta off the hook for that one is if he was demanding a top quality forward but the people responsible refused. You could say they couldn't get anyone regardless of how hard they tried, but we used that excuse in the January window.

Well by all accounts it was Edu & Arteta that were responsible for transfer targets.

I dont think that a point at Forest last night was a terrible result considering we have no strikers.

However, we need to keep an eye out over our shoulder for the pack chasing top four.

If we fail there, Arteta will certainly be gone in the summer.

I'm not sure you're right there mate. Arteta will (rightly) point to the injuries we have suffered as a reason, and I don't think there is any appetite from the owners or board to sack him whatever happens.

I think we will still make top four, given that we start getting players back next month. Even if we get draws in our next 4 games - that should still be enough.

I think we are 'stuck' with Arteta for another season...but if he fails to win the silverware next season, I think he will probably walk.

It wasn’t a bad result and we actually played fairly well all things considered. This is because we are still a good team and despite being incredibly underwhelming all season we have remained tough to beat and sit a comfortable 2nd.

Without a forward line though, there’s little chance of winning most games no matter how well we play and because of this I’m not certain about top 4 yet.
