I struggled with getting through the show in Clenshaw's last few years (I had a particular disdain for all the forced camp, what they did with Sonia, what they did with Linda, anything Panesar-related, and the whole Cindy and Knight setup), so I'm not in the same boat as many are in feeling a big decline in quality, but that doesn't mean the show's complete lack of momentum or direction is any less confounding. Clenshaw was better at making the show seem competent whereas Wadey just seems to have no real ability at present to put together episodes. The pacing is along the lines of radio soaps from the '30s or '40s.
I am not even sure what the changes would be if they did panic - my guess is something like Ben returning to reunite with Callum (which is likely happening anyway), Kat sleeping around, and Phil returning to being a cardboard gangster - but I do hope they find some ability to steer the show again. If Wadey can't, and the incompetent people above him like Kate Oates can't, then the BBC should make changes while they still can.
