I'd like to think that what appears to be Gazidis bringing in Jonker and Forsythe is part of a strategy of post-Wenger planning.

My feelings are still very much that Bould is being groomed to be the manager, and that he will preside over a much larger coaching team and won't have the same almost unquestioned authority that Wenger has over club affairs.
Regards your reference to Bould, I am actually coming round to that line of thinking. As much as he may not be the marquee manager some would like, right now I don't think I would mind especially if all he had to do was focus on the team and it's performance on the pitch ....with the right support structure around him.

Now I have no proof/evidence that he would be the right man, and he has no track record at the top level of the game ..winning titles etc, but I think he understands the requirements in this league, loves the club and wouldn't take shit from anyone. Hardly the qualification credentials you need but I don't know, maybe I'm just desperate to see Wenger step aside.
