Which is exactly the same narrative Wenger has adopted now he's realised he has failed.

He handles the PR well. I don't think he's that naive.

This made me laugh!!!

And I've given you an example of when he doesn't always get the PR right.

Although Wenger is a lightning rod for the club, hanging him out to dry too often would mean he leaves the club and the club don't want that.

The PR Cock up over the Russian Telecom company. Trying to do a deal with a company intertwined with someone who is being considered persona non grata by the hierarchy smacks of PR incompetence.

The point is he has form for making gaffes, although somewhat irrelevant as I believe this was a calculated statement to protect Wenger and would have worked if Wenger hadn't contradicted him.

That's a bad business decision. That's not an example of him handling PR.

No it's bad PR as well, because it makes the club look daft in that it's chief executive doesn't do his research properly. Either way it was an example of incompetence which suggests that Gazidis is capable of it.

I didn't say it wasn't bad PR for the club. But that's not an example of Gazidis handling PR badly. There is a difference.
