But I can't think of one, he's the best we've had in my lifetime. So, who has a better one in mind? He's learning fast and will only get better, good times ahead if we all pull together.

Not really, for a Chairman, most measures are objective, with regards to their success. Pretty much League & financial position. Not subjective at all.

I'd argue that having the highest ticket prices in the league for second division football might be considered bad by some supporters. I'd argue that a chairman who wanted to change the clubs colours like the Cardiff one did might be considered a bad thing by supporters. Bert McGhee helped us rebuild. But wouldn't splash that extra bit to help Wilko really go to the next level. Was that good or bad? Howard thought bad and left. On the other hand, he didn't allow us to spaff money to oblivion chasing the dream ... like Richards did. On the other hand some would argue that on Richards' watch they had thier most enjoyable years following the team. So yes. In a thread asking who fans think has been the best chairman , yes, I do think it's subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stripes thing was Massive, for me, & thank God he did the right thing in the end. But ultimately, the afore mentioned will be what he will be objectively measured on.

Oh I get the measures of success thing. But in my time following weve lifted one trinket, I'll probably never see us do it again. So it's the smaller things I judge on! The kit might be a small thing to some. But what's a club without its identity! I could quite easily have judged him on that alone! As you say, fortunately he's come around and actually delivered the best one for years.

But the measures of success, of league & financial position, will be what Chansiri is objectively judged on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my point is, can these things really be judged real time or does it need to be retrospectively?? We won't know whether Chansiri has been a good chairman until he leaves or completely succeeds. So far he's tried and failed and made us the most expensive mid table Championship side in the history of football in the process. Richards tried and succeeded........and then failed big time.
