If it fails, they'll get to blame Elop - but they've failed. If they succeed, they'll take all of the credit and they'll forget about Elop.
Just like Apple forgot about Gil Amelio. I'm apathetic either way.

Nokia is Finnish. As with all Nordic countries, a domestic leader is best due to cultural reasons and language. For an international nordic company like Nokia, a leader from UK or NA is OK, also because of cultural and linguistic reasons. A Canadian (english) leader feels right at home, and is accepted right away, not so easy for a spaniard or french dude.
What I'm saying is that I'm not so sure that Nokians fee they "deserve" a spanish or italian leader, but they are happy with one from UK or Canada, even a US leader could work.
