Hillwood says Stan and deliver

Ok punchy headline, but here is the truth about the whole thing, straight from inside Arsenal. Hillwood has gone on record as not wanting his sort at Arsenal, but from what I hear PHW had a trip out to Colorado and was wined and dined and had a " bloody marvelous " time. PHW was so impressed that he has gone about convincing board members that Stanley would be a good new member of the board, which upto now has met with resistance, but recently that resistance was pushed out of Arsenal. Yes you guessed right, when Dein intially introduced Kroenke to Arsenal, his biggest opposition was Edelman, who has never really got on with Dein. The board listened to its then Managing Director, a big arguement followed and the rest is history. 12 months on Edelman left and alot of people were confused as to why. Yes he was given a nice piece in the papers and it was creatively written how he was seeking new pastures etc etc etc, but come on, who the hell believes that old goat ? I am told that Edelman was far to agressive with people within Arsenal, he was a bully and the players never liked him. I was recently told " even though you don't want to, you have to suck upto them because they are the stars " and Edelman never got to grips with that, which is why Flamini never signed a contract and left. The board saw the Flamini saga as the last straw, for what Flamini actually wanted in a salary increase, it will now cost double that to bring in a replacement. While Edelman was brilliant at his off field commitments with the new stadium and sponsorship deals, his man management skills with big stars was certainly not his forte. Now PHW is ready to take Stan in and give him a place on the board, but not for nothing. He will have to make a substantial gesture of investment to the club, which currently we don't need as our finances are self sustaining in the long term, so now its about how much he wants it. Also this might tie in with Usmanov, maybe that for Kroenke to have a seat at the board he will have to buy out Usmanov and rid ourselves of the Uzbek, meanwhile Dein in the background rubbing his hands as thats what he had planned all the time, it just took PHW a while to come to his senses.
