I thought Halford used to be an Oldham fan?

Totally agree, Bernstein deserves recognition and Honorary President would be just fitting!
On a side note, reading some of the negative comments re John Wardle on here, wasn't he just as important prior to the takeover? I'm sure I remember him paying wages and club bills when Taskin was arrested? (and thus keeping the Club alive). Obviously this was after he had sold the club, so he had no obligation whatsoever.
I am happy to be corrected BTW if I have got that wrong

I remember going to a fans forum event at the Etihad years ago when Wardle was chairman and before the Q&A he was stood at the bar with a pint having a chat with a group of 4 or 5 City fans. He was also asked what he thought about *that* banner at Old Trafford and he said words to the effect of "they can shove it where the sun don't shine..."Totally agree, Bernstein deserves recognition and Honorary President would be just fitting!

Happy to support this. He did a lot for us and was a beacon of light and optimism in some pretty dark days.

He was the Secretary of Oldham and as I remember City's old Secretary Walter Griffiths who was getting near retirement went to Oldham, almost like a player plus cash dealI thought Halford used to be an Oldham fan?

Bernstein was just what we needed, a sound business man with a love for City as it was a complete shit fest when he took over. His work and relationship with Sir Joe Royle was vital to get us where we are today.

David Bernstein was one of the best appointments we have ever made. His foresight in securing the stadium was genius and the game changer in ADUG’s acquisition.
For me it’s an no brainer & a travesty he hasn’t already been bestowed with the honour.

To put things into perspective and just to highlight how fucking spoilt our cross border Trafford neighbors are!
We are calling for an honor to be given to our Chairman who was in charge when we were relegated to our lowest ever point, because he felt it just as much as we all did!
They sing songs about wishing their most successful (trophy wise) owners dead, simply because there are no longer top dogs!
Imagine the protests they would have if they witnessed what we have?
We have literally seen it all!!!
