In oil seriousness though, it is fishy that they have to appoint someone so oiled and not a younger bloke. Any reasons as to why, or how the selection process works?
It's probably a good salary increase for Chippy too, you would have though to the tuna few hundered £k at least

Ivan Gazidis compared Arsenal to Bayern several times at his last Q&A. He said we can compete at their level. Let us see. Bayern Munich President is Uli Hoeness - former Germany international, World Cup and UEFA Cup winner. Chairman of the board is Rummenige, no need to introduce. And who was their President before 2009 ? Some guy called Franz Beckenbauer.. And who do we have? Who the hell do we have apart from some 70+ y.o. semi-senile Etonian cronies ?
PHW has been the sole representive of the Arsenal board for the last 31 years although not solely responsible for the league position Arsenal find themselves in at the plaice and time. He has often been the one to have to face the deep fryer while Gazidis chews the fat.
