I agree re: having a coach working alongside him, a recipe for disaster IMO. When he goes the slate should be wiped clean.
There is no clean slate. Wenger will not be leaving the club completely. He’ll move upstairs in some capacity, that has to be realised by fans. There are no ‘football’ men in the club apart from Wenger in the higher levels of management and they rely on him for everything. He’s also engineered himself into that position, as anyone would after 20 years in their job. They need his guidance on the next manager and beyond, so new contract or not, he’ll be tied very closely to the club for quite some time yet.
