It certainly seems like this is the plan. The reaction on the bench was very public and Arteta seemed almost a bit embarrassed. He always looks focused and seems to have a great relationship with the players. Maybe after the Arse pulled out he has decided not to court any other job. You just wonder if he has been given an indication he needs to sit tight. He learns from the master plus has own ideas on how to freshen things up. It’s good planning if this is what is happening. He knows the club, the players and no need need to rip everything up with a new manager coming in. We keep playing the same way and nothing changes except maybe some fresh ideas to boot. If Arteta has been given an indictation the job is his after Pep moves on he would be mad not to continue to learn from Pep and start to takeover the reigns over a period of time. All speculation of course but nice to see we have a plan if it is true post the master.
