New owner+New manager (please god)
New owner+Same manager (i'd take that, he wouldnt last last long under Usmanov)
Same owner+ New manager (I'd be happy, but sceptical)
Same owner+Same manager (life couldn't be that cruel....could it?....it fucking will be won't it!!!)
One things for sure....its a fucking shambles and the club have shown even less respect for the fans than usual, by not letting us know what's happening......and that's hard to do in itself.
Someone make some fucking decisions and LET US KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!!

If Usmanov were to take over i fear he'd give Wenger a season. Usmanov has had no presence on the board and has had little input into the running of the club, taking over means bringing some of his own people in but they'll need time to reorganise, the last thing he'd want immaterial of how we feel is a gaping chasm in all parts of the club. If nothing else Wenger would mean relative stability.
He may be a greedy Uzbek mafioso but he is not a stupid man, immaterial of whether he wants Wenger to go or stay unless he can get a top class replacement (of which there are not many currently available as most have recently gone to new clubs or signed new contracts) i think he'd be forced to suffer a year under Wenger while he begins to sort the mess at the club out.
Would be interesting to see what if any changes would be made at board level over the next few years, i'm not sure how vengeful an individual he might be but effectively being frozen out of a club he owns 29% of for so many years might worry a few in the upper echelons

yeah its a fair punt he would keep Wenger for season but he would want success, quickly and lots of it..........
