Takeover
Peter Hill-Wood has launched an astonishing attack on American billionaire Stan Kroenke.
Arsenal chairman Hill-Wood, an Old Etonian, will fight tooth and nail to prevent any takeover of the Gunners by Kroenke.
Hill-Wood, whose father and grandfather were also Arsenal chiefs, raged: “Why don’t we want the American at our club?
“Call me old-fashioned but we don’t need his money and we don’t want his sort.
“Americans are buying up chunks of Premiership clubs and not because of their love of football but because they see an opportunity to make money.
“They know absolutely sweet FA about our football and we don’t want these type of people involved.
