Unai Emery has come in for plenty of criticism after the Gunners surrendered a two-goal lead against Watford on Sunday.
Arsenal are now without a win in their last three Premier League fixtures, with some fans calling for the Spaniard to recieve the boot in recent days.
However, Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham has recently handed Emery a vote of confidence.
Talking to The Straits Times, cited by @afcstuff, Venkatesham admitted that Gunners officials are ‘very happy’ with Emery and his coaching staff.
We are very comfortable with him and his coaching staff. We think he is doing an excellent job, so we are very happy.
These fans were quick to reply to Venkatesham’s comments on social media, with many believing Emery’s days are now numbered at the Emirates.

Read Arsenal verdict
When a club official speaks out and gives the manager the vote of confidence, it normally means he’s underachieving.
Emery has struggled to kick on after winning the first two games of the season and bizarre decisions such as looking to name five captains haven’t gone down well.
The Gunners now face two tricky Premier League games against Aston Villa and Manchester United before the end of the month, and if Emery slips up in both fixtures, more questions surrounding his future from fans will continue to be asked.
