Obviously for the time being Pep is here to stay but when the time does come, do we feel Arteta would be a good option given his close work with Pep?

Rumours hes linked to Newcastle right but I can't see that happening, I'd personally love for him to stick it out with Pep a few more seasons and then take the reins.He'll be managing another club at the end of next season.

To me it's a dead cert that he will be following Pep? Thought that was common knowledge. hmm maybe not.

Problem for internal candidates like Arteta is that he’s presently a part of the Pep ‘machine’ but when Pep leaves - he takes the machine with him - so Arteta would be left building from the ground up to replace not only Pep but all of his exceptional back room staff. I guess if Arteta is the chosen one - Pep et al and try and get him ready and start to build a team around him.

It's a tricky situation.
Will Arteta (if he succeeds Pep) become his own man or be a facsimile of Pep and his tactics.
The temptation for the owners and top brass is the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" line. But a new top level manager can't work under another's philosophy without putting something of their own personality in there.
In fact I wouldn't rate any manager that allowed himself to be dictated to completely on tactics. Follow an outline plan or structure/style of play and adapt it to suit.
I hope Arteta does take over, but I also hope he has the strength of character to lead the team in his own image, but with the Pep's DNA somewhere in there as well.
