Speaking exclusively to Arsenal TV Online, the long-serving chairman also revealed that, contrary to rumours, there are no special clauses in Wenger’s deal that would allow him to leave early.
“It’s a very straightforward contract,” said Hill-Wood. “There are no break clauses and nothing unusual in it at all.”
The club chairman declares it was “vital” that they got the Frenchman to stay. “We’ve been a stable club and Arsene was very much involved in the development of both the new training facilities and also he had a lot of input in the Emirates Stadium.”
Hill-Wood paid special tribute to his manager’s ability to identify young talent early - a talent that he attributes biblical status to...
"We've got as exciting a squad as I can remember," continued Hill-Wood. "They're relatively young, but they are all quite experienced now and I think the football we've been playing is a testimony to Arsene's judgement in finding young players and developing them very often into world stars.
"He acquires young players that most people have never heard of - I for one have not heard of a lot of the players he has brought in. He develops them and he supports them and he coaches them and he has managed to work miracles really with the squad that he has put together. I think he is very happy with the existing squad and confident that they're going to have a very successful season."
And Arsene's ability to attract promising young players to the club is, according to his chairman, helping to preserve the club's history and traditions for the next generation. "If you get the players young enough, you can bring them up the right way and they become Arsenal people," he concludes.
