My honest opinion is that they have to show some patience with him. I'm not convinced that he'll do the job for them but there's been signs that he can given time. I don't think a succession of managers would be helpful for them now.

I agree, but Arsenal’s (and Arteta’s) particular problem is the current example of Chelsea, who sacked an inexperienced manager (one with possible long-term potential) and have had immediate success with the replacement. You and I know a copycat strategy won’t guarantee success, but when the alternative looks pretty ordinary for the short-term, we also know how football clubs tend to react...

Sacking a manager certainly can work and I have long been quite keen on sacking managers overall. We've had a fair few that have well deserved their sackings. I just think that in their circumstance that they should show some patience. Arteta will make a decent manager given time and they have been struggling for years now anyway.
