Former chairman Ken Chapman has died. Wasn't he in charge when Glen Hoddle was appointed?

Don't think so. Ray Hardman was top man back then wasn't he? Never heard of Ken Chapman.

Ken Chapman was senior partner in a firm of architects (Chapman Warren). Was brought in, as I remember, by Sir Seton. Was definitely chairman for a while.

He was brought in after the 90 relegation and the departure of Honest Bri and associates, at the start of the final Ossie season. He was Chairman, but from memory a short tenure, before Ray Hardman took it on by the start of 92/93

Unfortunately, I don't have the exact dates to hand, but either way, Peter Day the CEO, who knew Hoddle from Spurs, was credited with being the man who got Glenn to the CG...

Wasn't it Ray Hardman as Chairman who said the immoral line 'Have you got a minute John' when Gorman was on his way out when Hoddle quit

That is horrific fact gathering. The man on the Clapham omnibus will be shaking his head, let alone Swindon people.
