It was solely on the basis that there is absolutely nothing in his previous working life that seems to in any way give him any experience in football matters - other than, like most of us, having a liking for a specific club.

You cant be suggesting that a diplomat isnt capable of having a serious knowledge of football are you?
Of course not. Football is littered with members of the diplomatic community!! |

No but it's littered with successful Chairmen, owners, etc who came into the job off the back of other careers/business interests and little knowledge of the game.

In fairness to the new man, I don't think Fitton, Wray or Watkins had much football club experience. But they all turned out OK!

"Sir William is a lifelong football fan". of???
Old Etonians perchance?
Eton played at Bradfield College on Saturday. I had to sit there while they tried to get their coach up the drive to the Bradfield ground. |

Ha, only on the TEF could you have 15 pages crammed full of ill-informed, blind, speculative bollocks.  I love threads like this. |

The new guy's interview is up.
It is very reassuring. One of his first priorities is getting the embargo lifted, which dispels a lot of the stuff that has been said.

I'm not saying he cannot be a successful chairman - my original post was that whenever someone who appears to have no discernible football knowledge or interest, they always come out with stuff trying to con supporters into thinking he's been a passionate football supporter all his life. Much the same as the 'scarf' photo with a newly signed player. |
