Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
On the plus side it means the club were obviously very conscious of the BSM march, so much so that they delayed announcing this until Sunday. Even if you can't celebrate giving PHW as winning the war then at least you can celebrate the delayed statement as a battle victory.

Dein as Chairman, now is the time. He has strong connections with Everton and I think he could help in getting Moyes for us.

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
We don't need help in getting Moyes. Just like Arteta he'd jump at the chance to be at a club like us, especially with the resources at our disposal. And Kenwright knows the price of everything.
Have a huge amount of respect for Dein but wouldn't want him involved again until Wenger is gone.

northbank123, just to clarify for future discussions, you are pro the idea of Moyes as a Wenger replacement?

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
Personally not massively mate. Fair play for what he's done at Everton, but for me I'm not sure he'll be tactically versatile enough for the CL, Everton have always struck me as bottlers when it comes to the crunch too. Also not sure it'd be fantastic football to watch although this isn't that high on my priority list atm. I don't think it's really important to have someone who can manage on a budget because £140m+ a year on wages isn't shoestring!
But he will get us to defend properly and won't stand for any of the bollocks that is now commonplace at our club, and I think he'd definitely restore some old-fashioned pride. I wouldn't be disappointed if we appointed him, I just think we could probably do better. Either way it'd be a huge improvement on Wenger.

This. I would take Moyes and have us grind out 1-0's Fergie-style any day of the week.

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
To be honest depends on the position we're in when we're looking. Presuming that Wenger won't go until we are really in the shit then there's no way Pep would want to come, and why would Klopp want to leave Dortmund to come to us? We're polar opposites. Might well be Moyes is the best available at the time.

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
yeah let's be respectful, PHW was obviously feeling very jaded before this happened......I hear it's endemic at our club.

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
His Chairmanship is for life and he really doesn't do much anymore,im sure his heart attack has been brought on by his lifestyle issues rather than work .
I am still bitter about him selling his birthright for a pittance to the greedy shysters dein and fizbang but I guess I should move on as it won't help.
Always forgive your enemies ,but never forget their names !

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
Get well soon Hillwood and retire its not worth the stress at the moment for you. As a reply to a few posts above I think Moyes is the obvious replacement for Wenger and he deserves a chance.
If it does not work out we will not have lost anything anyway because the club is going nowhere

Yeah right Kroenke is going to bring Dein in as chairman when Dein sold his shares to Usmanov his rivalN1Goon wrote:Dein as Chairman, now is the time. He has strong connections with Everton and I think he could help in getting Moyes for us.

Re: Peter Hill-Wood taken ill
He's an embarrassing doddery old arsehole but I genuinely hope he will pull through. At the end of the day he is someone's brother, son, father, friend. Death ain't funny, kiddies.

Before Dein came along we were in a slump, both on and off the pitch.
