If you look at the guy's record he's hardly that. I'm sure they'll get the right man for the their job. Whether it will be the right man for the fans is not so certain, if it is even possible given the gap that has to be bridged.
A new manager will get nowhere near that kind of money to be honest, the club aren't going to pay some guy 7 million a year to manage the club once he leaves, no unless he proves something, the issue here is that Wenger is basically happy with the setup I think it would be hard to find any half decent manager with the same attitude.

Benitez is a short term stop gap, everyone knows that, Chelsea couldn't get the man they want now so they got him as he was available.
