..for a new manager.
Arsene Wenger said he would let fans know when he is ready to tell them what is happening with his future which to me means that the club is currently sounding out managers to take over from him. If Wenger was staying, this would leak out or he would indicate it by now. Doing so would give certainty to Ozil and Sanchez who are stalling on contract renewals. I think they are both waiting until the new manager is known before deciding their futures.
The only question in my opinion is who they are looking at. Not being an Arsenal fan, I can see how attractive the club would be to the top managers in the world or even potential top managers such as Tuchel or Sampaoli perhaps. I think this outsider's perspective is more realistic than the current guessing I hear from Arsenal fans. Patience will be rewarded I believe (unless you get Pardew).
It's obvious Arsenal are currently looking.

Arsenal fans wasting their breath complaining about Wenger and the team for this season is what I'm saying.

Hes staying the only reason its taking so long is that hes at war with Gazidis about these structure changes. Wenger doesnt want any changes. I'd be surprised if he hasnt already gone and cried to Kroenke about how insulted he is for having to give up the the total control he has enjoyed for so long.

Good optimism mate. But if the club were sounding out other managers, papers would pick up on it.
Wenger has already signed a new deal, its been leaked to see the fans reaction. But since the team is playing so bad, they just can't find the right time to announce it. IMO he'll announce it end of season he is staying whatever the results are.

Wishful thinking.
Two year extension agreed and will be confirmed at the most cowardly moment possible.

Apparently from meetings the AST had with the club, they said an announcement won't be made until the end of the season. Which indicates more that he'll stay I think , but reports also suggesting that the club haven't offered him a new deal yet. Confirm he's staying before the end of the season and they know the fans will protest at all the games. They'll announce he's staying then run and hide, and hope the fans calm down. Then we'll see loads of leaked stories about Wenger being given a 96billion war chest to spend to help appease he fans anger. But of course, like always we won't make significant signings in the right areas.
Maybe if we finish like 7th and crash out of fa cup they might say for him to leave. Anything more and he'll almost certainly stay.

Exactly. They're just sh*t-scared of announcing it at the moment.
