Let me give the mods some help since it's obviously still a big issue to someone

In what world do you belong where an internal employee has the final word in the hiring or firing process of a company CEO? Please tell me cos’ I’ll like to know. And why do you have to keep jumping to the extremes every time that Wenger’s a puppet if he’s not leading the board by the nose? Why can’t he just be an employee who sees eye to eye with his employers, but maybe for different reasons? How many times do posters like NQ, JSAO, myself and numerous others here have to repeat ourselves before that point finally registers?

Look FY, contrary to what you believe (or inferred from various articles), it’s not within the scope of Arsene’s role to appoint the CEO of the club. That final decision rests in the hands of the Board of Directors full stop. If Arsene was involved in any way during the consultation process, it was merely a way for the board to determine if the two can work well together; to see if the chemistry was right for a successful team partnership. Get it? Goddamn FOL was right. It’s a waste of time with certain people here.
