David dein was loved by some and hated by others BUT the fact is he was a true gooner, he did the best for his club, gooners should worry about the man who comes in to replace him...will he have the same passion and drive that dein offered and also dein knew the board members for a long time therefore he had a better understanding of what was acceptable and what wasnt when it came to transfers and new contracts for players. I dnt really care about Peter Hill Wood and his comments as long as it doesnt effect the players and most importantly the boss.

It has everything to do with the untactful comments PHW continues to make in the press. As Arsenal fans we are in a stage of uncertainty. Will the club fall into foreign hands? yes? no? Will the current board be able to ensure a continous stream of entertaining sides to fill the new stadium week in week out? Well I dont know about the rest of you but those uncertainties demand reasurance. What we need is the Chairman to come out and say something positive not that he thinks our manager is happy because somebody else had a chat with him. If you cant see that then it is you I pity.

It was from the heart of a true blue supporter, first and foremost. As a life long supporter of ARSENAL, I cannot see how that American will benefit the club (read Frizman's earlier comments). All the talk about Arsene joining Dein on the sidelines just because of frienship, is pure crap. ARSENE LOVES ARSENAL MORE. PHW was spot on with his comments.

PH-W is more interested in protecting the club than Kroenke. Kroenke will only be interested in one thing, banking profits. PH-W and the rest of the directors has never taken money out of the club ever in dividend payments. And what he accomplished with Fiszman to build Ashburton Grove is a great thing that will make the club more competitive into the future. And what did Dein want to do? He wanted a ground share with the FA for Wembley. Can you imagine Arsenal without their own ground? That would have been an embarassment and a disaster. While PH-W may have said some impolitic things that I am sure he would have wished to have taken back, he and his family have done more for Arsenal than you will ever know or understand. As for Norman and bob, how do you think this dude is going to buy the club? Direct deposit from his checking account? Clearly it is going to be a leveraged buyout, same model as Utd and Pool. And you have to add that debt to our stadium debt and then ask if the current stadium debt hurts our ability in the short term to buy big, how will an extra £500m help our competitiveness? Once the property development is completed at the old Highbury, the club is going to have a lot of extra money to spend. Norman, I suggest before you write, think about what you are writing, because this was total crap. Why don’t you learn to shut up? PH-W is more interested in protecting the club than Kroenke.

And what money are you asking the board to put up? Your comment doesn't make any sense. Clearly you haven't understood the mechanics of Kroenke's attempted take-over and of David Deins treacherous involvement in it.

Sold his shares to Dein the minute he got his hands on them, after his father's death & doesn't bother attending games. You can see the club mean so much to him, or is it the 60k a year he gets for sitting on his arse & doing nothing. What a great chairman we have.

Now since everything happened the guy is constantly in the news and from what I have learned of this guy in just 1 month scares the living shit out of me." Have you had your head buried in the sand for the last 20 years, Norman? And if you're not worried about the takeover then I suggest you do some reading and see what it would mean to Arsenal before you write more ill-informed crap like this. “Peter Hill-Wood has always been at Arsenal but you rarely heard him speak and you almost forgot that he was the Chairman.
