From what I am led to believe and what I remember from last year, the deal was always for him to move to WB prior to moving on to BM. The press, at the time of him leaving AFC, alluded to it.

Dags, I'm in, I'm so far in, I'm in balls deep. I just want to move on now.

Oddly enough Derby, I'm in the financial PR business. and, from my experience, no one makes a bid of that magnitude unless,
a. you already know that there is availability.
b. you want to expedite the availability by way of further destabilizing a fractured environment. (KSE UK have just released a statement saying that their shares are not and have never been for sale would normally stem this but this is football and the fans are fed up so could go either way)
Obviously, this is all conjecture but Wenger's silence regarding his future may well have been born from prior knowledge of a bid/ takeover from Usmanov who, as Ed quite rightly points out, is a massive fan of his.
Ultimately, what has transpired this season has been on the cards for many years. I am personally not too optimistic for the future even if Wenger leaves. I just feel that the club is rotting from within. The lack of ambition and direction from the board will ultimately restrict the potential to attract a manager who is a winner. its going to be a long summer.

I totally agree with you ed. Though, for me at least, the lack of direction from the AFC board is not unique to this season alone and has been like this for some time. Wenger should have had his hand forced a long time ago and the lack of pro activity from the senior management within the club is lamentable to say the least.
I'm not at all surprised to hear that Wenger has lost part of the boards backing. With the bid from Usmanov coming in, it seems that there maybe a power struggle surfacing behind closed doors. If this is the case, then I just cannot see any respectable manager coming in to replace Wenger (if he decides to leave) under these circumstances.
{Ed001's Note - Usmanov has always been one of Wenger's strongest backers.}
