Best British football club chairmen?

Tue May 15, 2012 3:03 pm

Who would you say are the best British football club chairmen?

It seems they are a dying breed with most chairmen being foreign.

I'd say Bill Kenwright of Everton has to be up there

It's DW stadium because DW sports have taken over JJB sports. Does he own DW sports by any chance?

yeh DW sports fitness or something, also he put £30M of his money in to building the JJB at the time, he's pumped millions in to the club and their debt equates to around £100M, not sure if it's all from him but he puts a load in to keep it going.

On my way home from work today I heard Gartside (?) talking about Owen Coyle. He said he was the best manager to take the club forward and he will ensure money is there for him
