Arsenal directors want manager Arsene Wenger to announce his departure in the coming days.
The Daily Mail says a number of the club's top brass would prefer Wenger confirm his exit before the end of the season in a move that could galvanise the club for the run-in.
And in an attempt to spark an improvement, Wenger and his team held a honest dressing room inquest after Thursday's loss.
Wenger challenged his under-performing stars to prove they have the quality to play for a club the stature of Arsenal.
There was no ranting or raving but sources claim the talks were honest and frank.
