Freddie Ljungberg has made his position on the current situation at Arsenal very clear to the club's board.
The Swede was called up from working with the youth teams at the start of the season but has now reached five games in the role of interim head coach.
Following Unai Emery's sacking Ljungberg stepped in to fill the gap and has overseen one win, two draws and two defeats.
Under his tenure Arsenal have reached the last 32 of the Europa League but have also fallen to ninth in the Premier League, with the possibility of being tenth at the end of Crystal Palace vs Brighton.
With the busy festive period and the January transfer window right around the corner Ljungberg has decided now is the time to make a clear demand of the Arsenal hierarchy.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the defeat to Manchester City the 42-year-old admitted that he has spoken with the club about the holding pattern that his tenure has fallen into.
He said: "I've said to them [the club] they need to make a decision.
"We are here to help and the staff are trying to chip in but a decision has to be made so we can have the same resources as other clubs."
This is twice in three days that Ljungberg has asked for a decision to be made on what his role is going to be with uncertainty apparently remaining over whether he is there as a long-term or short-term caretaker role.
Ljungberg was speaking after a defeat to Manchester City that saw Mesut Ozil booed from the pitch by Arsenal fans when he was substituted.
Ozil was not the only player booed though as the entire first half performance received the same treatment as players trudged off 3-0 down at the break.
