As for perfect chairmen... Steve Gibson comes closest but the truth will come with what he chooses to do with the £90m debt he is owed.
Maybe the villa bloke with time too. I would say the best right now has to be the Newcastle one. Keeps his head down, no team interference, let's's the manager get on with it... :-) ________________________________________________________ Steve Mosley http://www.darckense.com/stevemosley [email protected] ________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: "McWilliams, Brendan, VF-Group (bmcwill)" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 14:33:23 To: LEEDS LIST<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] So here it is Merry Xmas If i had to pick a Chairman amongst those of the last 15-20 years, honestly, i'd go for Bates. That's how bad the others were. I'm not a huge fan of KB but stone me, the others were even worse. I don't recall ANY fond memories of the clowns that ran LUFC pre Ridsdale times... Can someone name ONE single Club Chairman that has universal support of the fans?? Do Palace fans like Simon Jordan? Who on occasion speaks sense, despite his Duran Duran locks. Scanning down the Prem, possibly the recent owner of Villa seems good, but early to say still.Do Boro fans like Steve Gibson, who it seems MAY be the ideal Chairman - but i know nothing about him.

In effect we have a dwindling supporter base a low footballing profile and no clear idea of where we are going next. Events on the pitch bear this out. A commercial success in football club terms must include success on the pitch otherwise why not run a car park or a sports shop or a tea bar? However whilst ever supporters remain supine about this they will continue to be ripped off with second rate fare. This may be what they want, in which case the proletariat is indeed lumpen :-) Too many ifs Richard, which is no way to run a successful business, never mind a poxy foootball club Anyone going down the pub this aft? betty _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
