Was thinking about this last night, the factor that hasn't been mentioned much is our none footballing board. Guys like Kroenke and Usmanov, PHW and Gazidis arent exactly football people are they, none had playing careers and none has thus far showed a great interest in well, anything on the pitch. So its unlikely they would appoint anyone good. They would probably want someone like Wenger who doesn't make waves, makes money and keeps us there or thereabouts without over committing and making us solid financially.

Someone who is good with the media, recognizable but not necessarily liked, is available and has a great smile
