Re: [LU] Jimmy Hill RIP

[Andy Clayton]

It was ridiculous that prior to the work he did, chairmen had too much power, 
too much of the reward. 

After his bollocks, players gained too much power, and all the reward. Instead 
of abolishing the maximum wage and implementing a fairer wage limit that shared 
some of the reward, then we wouldn't have the modern Prima Donna poofters that 
we get charged a fortune to watch.

I met Jimmy Hill twice in the mid-1990s when I was representing the Football 
Supporters Association at meetings we had with the football authorities. 

He talked a lot of rubbish during the meetings, but one thing I will say for 
him is that before they began he would come over and chat to us 
enthusiastically like an ordinary fan. He didn't talk down to us and there were 
no 'airs and graces' about him.

that's a bit unfair, we are talking about changes to players rights that
occurred in the early 60's, not  combination of Bosman ruling and Sky
pumping in millions and gangsters like Abramaovic that led to the current
ridiculous wages that are now common place.  At the time he negotiated
breaking the £20 MAXIMUM wage, that was just a bit more than the average
household income.

Hmmm, I don't think you can blame Jimmy for that. I blame sky. Football was at 
its best for me in the late 80s early 90s.

Sad he's dead.

Just on this, a great book about professional footballers before the maximum 
wage ended is Gary Imlach's 'my father and other working class football 
heroes'. I commend it to the list.

Don't get me started on Jimmy Hill. Him & sky are the ones who fucked it all up
