Dein Replaced By Gill.
-
Arsenal supremo David Dein has lost his place on the Football Association board, with Manchester United chief executive David Gill replacing him.
The decision came after a vote between all 20 Premiership chairmen, who decide on their four representatives on the board.
The news is a real shock, as Dein is seen as one of the most influential men in English football.
Dein recently received major criticism for his part in appointing the new England manager - as he was perceived to push the claims of Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, who pulled out of the running soon after being interviewed.
Gill, who is already vice-chairman of the G14 Group and an FA council member, is well qualified for the role.
"I am looking forward to working with my fellow board members," said Gill.
He will now sit alongside Phil Gartside, Robert Coar, and Premier League chairman Dave Richards on the FA board as they look to protect the interests of The Premiership.
now maybe man utd will get easy fixtures....

i thought it was some fiasco about Arsenal lending money to some cash strapped club in some other country?
anyway, i think MUFC just got US$12 million from Chelsea over the fiasco about the nigerian fella (can't remember his name)
with that US$12 million, MUFC maybe can buy a proper striker to replace RVN..
i hope LFC buys RVN

Even if the entire FA board consists of pple related to man utd, they still won't win if they don't sort out their midfield and the RVN problems and with chelsea getting stronger and stronger, it is even more unlikely.Originally posted by BrUtUs:wun be surprise tat manu win the title next season... tink dein was booted out cos of the scandal... wierd ruling by the FIFA...
