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.

Yeah, i remember him in charge, not for too long but he definately was chairman for a bit.

Doing a google brings up the following - he had a collection of over 1000 model Jaguar cars

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
