Where do I sign…???
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!
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
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?
Yes I am sure thats what I recall, him and Makin pumped their money in.Totally agree, Bernstein deserves recognition and Honorary President would be just fitting!
