Apparently Edu is on the hot seat.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***
Took this off another online forum posted by Ashy, an Arsenal fan.
Summary from an independent article:
>A growing question around the club is how bad it would have to get to sack Mikel Arteta, and whether the hierarchy would have the will to do it this season. It’s not at the point that the Basque is facing losing his job yet, but the fact this is being discussed around the Emirates shows how the dial has moved.
>Sources within the club insist Arteta is going nowhere for the moment. They even talk about how he calls the shots with a lot of the hierarchy, and strong-armed the board into some transfers.
>This is one thing that may surprise those outside the club who have visions of everything falling apart. It might also be a reason things are going badly, mind. Arteta has almost total authority. That’s with the squad, and with the staff. Some have even taken to calling him “mini Arsene”, such is the extent of his control.
>It is because of that some are impressed by Arteta’s assertiveness. Others have a different perspective. They are surprised by how “arrogant” he can seem. “He thinks he knows it all,” is a common refrain.
>Those in the game who have spent time with Arteta admire his knowledge and his ideas. There’s little doubt he knows what he’s talking about. The issue is how he translates that into play.
>Observers of Arsenal’s training have told The Independent that a lot of their sessions are good but “like Subbuteo”, in that they're “far too clean”. The argument is that they’re not “dirty” enough, and aren’t actually readying the team for the muck and bullets of a game.
That is perhaps why Arsenal’s football can feel so “prescribed” - another common description - and quite anaemic in so many matches.
>It is similarly indicative that those close to Antonio Conte insist he has little interest in taking over. He just doesn't think he could compete with the team as it is.
If half of that is true, Arsenal’s board is worse than I thought. How can you give someone who has no management experience that much control?Current careers:

I predicted that he'd go before Arteta. He certainly still has some **** on him from the whole Raul exit, and it's surprising that he wasn't also let go at that time, but I'm sure it put him on thinner ice.
It has always seemed that Arteta is part of the project, not Edu.
If they both went tomorrow I'd be fine with that, but who the **** would the executive committee, with zero footballing experience for the most part bring in? That's the issue.
My hope, I guess, is that Josh cares enough to perhaps replace Edu with someone who can actually oversee Arteta and not be under his thumb, also. Then that person can make the switch when needed, find a manager, etc.Comment

He dropped Cedric from the squad last year and now starts him in matches, also. He’s just throwing **** at the wall, and it’s obvious he has no real plan.
Nice to see we give up a headed goal with our three ‘center backs’ out there. At least it wasn’t to Sterling this time.Comment
