Philippe Auclaire is 99.9% convinced Wenger is leaving after this season.
I say we take a punt at Garry Neville.

Source?
Van Gaal? Can’t be serious. Barely managed 4th with a team that only had the league to play for. Proceeded to then get knocked out of the group stages in the CL, lost in the last 16 of the EL and finished 5th in the league.
Rashford aside who did he help bring through?
Spot on sir. Who would u plump for?
Fascinating to listen.
Maybe it's tough to go from playing under Wenger's philosphy to Pep's. The latter doesn't give you much freedom. Wenger's all style is based on freedom and expression of yourself.Funny though given that Henry had hard time following Pep instructions.
Maybe he came because he didn’t get his usual bonus due to us missing out on a champions league spot. It’s begging to hurt the shareholders now. Let them feel it.I do have a hunch though that Josh Kroenke came into London because he cares about the success so if that is the case I'd say Josh will have a say in things & get him gone.
Can't see him doing that. Every source you hear says football is his whole life these days.Maybe he came because he didn’t get his usual bonus due to us missing out on a champions league spot. It’s begging to hurt the shareholders now. Let them feel it.
Maybe Wenger should declare that he is tired and needs a break from football. Go away for 2 years or so and come back.
Our transfer budget and our defensive organisation are completely exclusive of each other. Kroenke didn't destroy Wenger - football has just passed Arséne by. It happens to most, except the absolute greats.

It is easy to say money as the reason for Pep's success. But did you even watch their game? Even with good players, you cannot play superfast passes like that without proper drilling. I don't think Wenger is capable of instilling such discipline. Attaching sentimentally to players, not dropping them/selling them in spite of consistently laughable performances, not being pro-active during a match, not being reactive after a match- These are his short comings. Money is not going to fix this.I agreed that Wenger is past it, but Kroenke is the main reason why we are not capable of competing for the competitions and with the big clubs in Europe, would like to see what Wenger can do if he spends over 450 million at Arsenal within 2 years,its just not fair to even compare that situation just look at City what Guardiola did spend over 2 years. just think its not fair to blame Wenger for all of this, ofcourse management is another thing but from top to bottem there is something wrong.

We don't have the personnel to play the way Wenger wants us to play. Either we change all the players or we bring in a manager who'll be able to implement a more conservative style. I agree with you when you say that Wenger hasn't suddenly gone to pieces, its not a coincidence that our drop in form occurs in a year which has seen such a lot of upheaval in the first team. If we give him 2 more years then I'm sure he'll get us back playing competitive football, but who would you rather give 2 years to, an aging manager at the end of his managing career or a new manager that can build a team for a longer term. Don't think that the game has passed him by, but Arsenal certainly needs to pass him by.What do you think Arsenal needs to do differently in its defensive organization? What is it that Wenger, himself, is doing wrong in this area? I keep hearing people say that the game has passed Wenger by and all that. But what's different about organizing a defense in 2018 than in 2008? Is it possible that Wenger has forgotten all the things he has known about the game? Somehow I doubt it. Or might it be that the players Arsenal has in these positions simply aren't as good as the players they used to have? Maybe they have players who are more mistake-prone and don't quite have the mental toughness required.
Of course Arséne Wenger shares at least part of the blame for this. I think it's fair to criticize his loyalty -- to the point of stubbornness -- to young players who just weren't working out. Maybe sometimes he tries to fit a square peg into a round hole. It's also possible that things might just have finally gone stale for him (just as they did for Carlo Ancelotti at Milan in 2009). But "the game has passed him by" is just something that people say and I'm not sure exactly what it's even supposed to mean. I'm pretty sure he still knows the game inside out in a way that none of us ever could.
