Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has been voted off the Football Association board by the Premier League, to be replaced by Manchester United chairman David Gill.

A vote took place amongst all 20 top-flight chairman to vote on the four representatives of the Premier League and Dein lost his place.

Dein has come under heavy criticism recently for his protection of manager Ars�ne Wenger during the FA's search for a successor to Sven Goran-Eriksson.

Even though Ars�ne Wenger himself has said that he has no desire to manage England, a number of PRemier League chairman have expressed anger at how their managers were not as protected as Arsenal's.

The search eventually led to Middlesbrough manager Steve McLaren being hired as England manager.

The ironic thing is, for all of the supposed protection of Ars�ne Wenger, the Frenchman was interviewed but turned the position down even before the interview had begun.

Chelsea manager Jos� Mourinho also expressed concern at how Arsenal seemed to have an easier fixture list after Champions League matches (playing their next matches at home whilst Chelsea played away).

Dein has been replaced by Manchester United chairman David Gill.

As a vice-chairman of the elite G14 group and an FA council member, Gill has extensive experience of football administration beyond Old Trafford and he will now work with the Premier League's other representatives; Dave Richards, Phil Gartside and Robert Coar, in promoting the league's interests on the FA board.

Dein will sit alongside Richards, Gartside and Gill on the less influential FA council.

The farce around Wenger for the England Managers role is beyond a joke why would the best manager in the world (Arsene Wenger IMO) even bother with managing England, when he has publicly voiced his concern over the press treatment of people in that role?

Seen as Wenger is French surely he would prefer to manage France, with the talent of his fellow conutrymen Henry, Zidane, Trzeguet, Makelele etc.. at his disposal.

PS. This in no way means I think France is a better England!!! I do still think England will go just as far as France in the World Cup!
