Although option is there for the current manager to stay at the club and extend his contract if he wish to stay. But fans opinion remains divided on the 66-year old, with the last league title coming in 2004 for the Gunners.
If he will decided to move away from the club and the Emirates then opt for Eddie Howe, then it 'd be a big step up for the Charismatic Bournemouth boss. He has an impressive record at Bournemouth and the expectations he'd face at the Emirates would be massive compared to what he is used to.
