Worst Chairman....Sam Hamman despite breathing life into the club he left us with a level of debt that was reckless to say the least. Luton, Brighton & Plymouth all made the same journey to the championship at a fraction of the cost

Best Chairman Rick Wright he took us on when we were on our knees, his pricing plan was great and the crowds soon returned, we were always in the news with him at the helm not afraid to back Eddie May buy splashing the cash

Worst Manager - Graham Williams replaced Richie Morgan when we were 10th in Div 2 and on a good run - when he left we were firmly in a releagation battle with an impressive 4 points from 36!

Best Manager - Eddie May & Frankie Burrows are particuular favourites but I liked Dave Jones he worked miracles from when he arrived had to sell & rebuild every season apart from last season. We actually competed at this level for the first time since we sold Toshack in 1970 and a FA Cup final to go with it, people forget that he had to work under financial restraints & transfer embago's for most of his time at the club.

im only 20 years old and we was in division 3 when i started watching so please dont judge on my answers.

Worst Chairman - SAM. mine has to be sam, i mean he started the dream , he gave us life, however i feel he did it the totally wrong way, and we're paying the price of his foolish mistakes, and i feel he has caused a massive split between the fans, i feel we might be in the same place now if we had done it without the silly over spending, just be alot financially stronger, but thats just my opinion.

Best Chairman - DT/VT. i mean i havent known alot of chairmen so i couldnt say some of the older ones, but the financial mess we was in, the talk of all these transfer embargos cause of the revenue and customs, they came along and so far, have used they business knowledge and we're on a good thing at the moment, the debts seem to be being delt with (and alot of the small monies owed is being delt with) without suffering on the pitch money.

Worst Manager - i liked our managers so sadly, mine would be burrows, ONLY, because i dont really remember much about his time at the club, and i do remember reading he tried offload earnie in his glory days to WBA, because he was set to join them himself, and wanted to send him off on the cheap ready

Best Manager - Jonsey/Lennie/Malky

Jonsey - when he joined we feared playing teams in this league, we had to sell off our team, and he worked miracles, he made us into the team we are today, i feel we enjoyed more good times than bad under him, and 3 trips to wembley under him was some of the best memories we can say he have had. i feel alot of the criticms of him is slightly harsh, and although he might of over spent, i felt years after years of being forced to sell and buy on free's he earned the right to splash big on a gamble

Lennie - i feel he was such a gentleman, and under him i felt we went quite far, he took us to the championship and gave me some good memories

Malky - the passion, i love seeing us win and get great results, but i love even more is the fact that he has everyone working for us fans, all he asks is they make sure they put in 110% and the passion he shows, he seems to be one of us

"bonus" Favourate player - Kavanagh and Neil Alexander

Who is your favourite chairmen and why ?

Your favourite all time manager and why ?

Your worst ever manager ?


I will tell you mine at the end, I think you will be stunned/shocked.


Just piss taking will be removed, honest/sincere answers please. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:



Kumar Brothers ....fecking eejit chancers

Rick Wright because he looked like Reg Holdsworth (true fact that's the reason because they all poloticians whoever they are except Borley well he's a bit of a polotician but he's Ball road)

Eddie may because he never had a clue what he was doing, he just laughed and let the players get on with it and it worked.

The last manager was the worst and you all know why
