It’s finally online-the Peter Swales video we’ve been waiting for P31

Swales had lots of ideas - some good, some not- but too often his actions contradicted his ambitions. Like bringing back Allison but then allowing him to sell our best youngsters in Barnes and Owen and replace them with inferior players.
 
We were positioned at the time as a club that could have gone on to win the league and cups again. But sold our best players and kept getting manager appointments wrong.

After being the best stadium in the country when it was opened in 1923, we had plans to make our stadium the best in the country again:

But nothing much came of it, and by the time we left in 2003 is was a very average ground considering two of the stands were brand new.

A bit that got me was him talking about people living off the back of City , ie food vendors and scarf sellers around the ground and how the club needs to control its image. But wasn't he the one the sold the copyright of the club badge off ?

I think that was Franny Lee
 
Just watched that video - funny as in some places - I think the current fashion for those losing their hair is much more dignified than some of those comb over creations in that video - the sums of money are laughably small compared to today
 
I really wish Peter Swales would come back to life so I could have the pleasure of hearing about his death again.

****.
