Arsenal Chairman Savages Chelsea

Peter Hill-Wood took time to comment on Chelsea's plans to be the biggest club in the world by 2014 yesterday as Arsenal announced increased profits, "It's bullshit," Hill-Wood said. "I don't want to run Chelsea down, but one has to concede Manchester United and Liverpool are probably the biggest names in UK football and probably throughout the world. For Chelsea to think they are suddenly going to dominate United and Liverpool is fantasy. It's not going to happen.

"I found it very surprising Chelsea only had 25,000 for a Champions League game [against Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge last Tuesday]. Our fan-base probably started in the Thirties and it's been handed down from father to son and so forth. It takes 100 years to build and about 100 minutes to destroy. Money is irrelevant to history and how big your club is."
