Colin Bell is a very quiet, modest bloke but he was sacked by Franny Lee as Youth Development Officer.
The two were never really great mates as they were polar opposites but Bell had gone to see Lee about conflicts he was having with Neil McNab, who was one of the coaches. This ended in the sacking of Bell (and someone else) and Colin was aggrieved that (a) it happened and (b) Franny Lee never did it himself or contacted him. He asked for a cap back that he'd loaned to the City museum.
Colin would have nothing to do with the club while Franny was there and I'm still not sure if they're on speaking terms.
Franny's a great bloke in many ways but quite ruthless and vindictive in others. This was one example, plus the condition of selling his shares to Thaksin was that Dennis Tueart was sacked as a director. His beef with Dennis was over the Wardle/Makin takeover, where Tueart was supposedly Makin's hatchet man.
