Arsenal have taken a huge gamble - Arsene Wenger must now roll with the times to silence his critics

Five times Gazidis spoke about ‘pushing forward’, five times about ‘moving forward’, four times about ‘looking forward’. Three times he said that football is “constantly evolving”. And Arsenal’s job was not just to be evolving with it, but to be ahead of the curve.
All of which is surely true. But it does raise the question why Arsenal have just given a new two-year deal to a man who has been in his current role since October 1996.
