lappinitup 629 Posted November 19, 2013 Really sorry if this annoys anybody but the board is quiet and I thought it might be interesting to argue the merits of the best ever chairman we''ve had. Some have a few obvious contenders. Others there are multiple candidates. Who would you select for this honour and why? Really sorry if this annoys anyone, thought it was a better way than asking people to name their greatest ever board as the individual positions can be discussed. For me its probably got to be Sir Arthur South although Bowkett runs him close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YankeeCanary 0 Posted November 19, 2013 Lapp, the content of this this forum has overwhelmed me today and, consequently, I simply can''t make a decision on this without knowing the respective positions of those that have been involved. Now, if you had asked who the best majority owner had been, I would have thrown my weight behind the one that focused on the twelfth man. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted November 19, 2013 I think Bob Cooper is worth a mention. When he retired he said......."When I left Sainsbury''s almost 4 years ago I knew I wanted to do a range of things in my life. My love for football and my friendship with Delia and Michael brought me to Norwich. They wanted me to help them bring the Club out of a difficult period of decline and re-establish itself as a successful Club again. It was a difficult task and it has taken longer than I expected. "However, as everyone can now see, Norwich City is on the up again"There can be no doubt he set us on the right course even if it was a rocky road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basil brush 0 Posted November 21, 2013 Robert Chase, but the relative success he lead us to, proved to be his undoing. Can''t see any other Chairman taking is to 3rd in the Premiership. Sir Arthur South called the Barclay ''scum'' and was always booed when he took to the pitch pre match. Haven''t got found memories of him. Bob Cooper was a dreadful appointment and just shows that someone with absolutely no idea can become a chairman of a football - at least if Delia''s involved.
