In his autobiography, Len Shackleton wrote a chapter entitled, "What Directors Know About Football," and left a blank page.
The best chairmen/directors keep their mouths shut, or conversely, the worst ones can’t stay silent.
Peter fucking Swales being a prime example.
City had to learn the hard way and from Swales to Franny Lee, it was very much all about the chairman and the board members and power struggles, Swales wanted full control of everything even the football side of things,
When looking back Swales had a phone next to his seat to ring the dug-out ?
