Peter Swales

[Ell-ano]

what actually happened with him? because i was born in 1995 i dont really know anything about him apart from the abuse he seems to get on here, but a quick read on wikipedia (i know its unreliable) shows him as some kind of hero? just interested as to what actually happened, thanks

He appeared in a shredded wheat advert and never looked back.

Just read his Wikipedia entry:

It doesn't make him sound like much of a hero to me.

And that's probably because he wasn't!

if you go on <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_F.C._ownership_and_finances" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester ... d_finances</a> it says: ''Swales was offered a role as life president at the club'' and '' It was a sad departure for a chairman who loyally invested large sums of money into Manchester City'' this sounds to me like a well liked chairman rather than a hated man

Oh he had City at heart but for his own pleasure only

You can't compare Bates with Swales at all! Bates saved Chelsea in the early 1980s and helped put Leeds back on an even keel.

Swales turned what was the most successful club in the country in the previous few years, into an absolute joke via countless fuck ups.

This is the first I've ever heard of him investing large sums of money into Manchester City.

And he certainly wasn't well liked; in fact, he was despised by the vast majority of City fans.
