I really don't understand this idea that Wenger is under no pressure and it literally doesn't matter how we do. Of course it does.
Had we slipped out of the top 4 (as the 'experts' on here have predicted year on year we would) then he'd have been long gone.

As to the original question, it is probably up to him. If he continues to deliver what the board expects (which I think he will) and thinks he can still do a job for us then he'll stay.
He's a far safer pair of hands than some of the laughable suggested replacements.
The only pressure Wenger's under is from himself. When he gets beaten & its obvious to all why we got beat - he reacts with all his usual crap instead of addressing the obvious. Why - because it would prove he was wrong in the 1st place, he can't handle that - that's the only pressure for him, the constant battle to prove his way is the best way.
We've seen how he crumbles when he's actually under real pressure. The 8-2 defeat by Utd, what did he do immediatley after - buy 3 players, 3 weeks into the season!. When he went to the directors to ask for the money, they should have told him to fuck off. He had all summer to address the squad problems & he did sweet FA, telling everyone his squad was good enough. He got it wrong, terribly wrong & he knew it. Problem is, he didn't learn from that.
Few years later, after another terrible transfer window, not improving the squad we lose our 1st home game to Villa. Finally, the fans let him know their feelings - what does he do, he buys Ozil. Again proving to all, that his squad was obviously NOT strong enough, as he had suggested & he had got it wrong again.
Here we are again, even you must see the need for another quality DM plus the blatantly obvious need for a proper goal-scorer. Lets see what happens if he loses at home to West Ham.
