Thing is you don't know, whilst there is no doubt that Wenger is used as a convenient lightning rod by the board it's very unlikely any new manager will be given the same autonomy he has. We all know full well that Gazidis couldn't sack Wenger even if he wanted to but he will be the one responsible for his replacement.

That means we have someone who is beholden to someone, three year contract if no significant improvement in that time good bye and good luck and onto the next guy.
