Cameron,it would offer him an upgrade from PM to President,or Prince William,introduce some Republicanism into the Royal Family.Sir Mervyn King ?
All 3 would be able to attract media interest and finance but can't stand any of them so ...
I vote for Big Ron.

As great as he was (my mum loved him), lots of younger fans just wont remember him. Same goes for many of those older players from yesteryear.

It needs someone with a media profile today.

John Fear  :)

Surely if Randy does not talk then PF is his mouthpiece for the club and its actions?

Exactly what I was thinking when reading through the thread.

An ex-captain of ours that now has a big media presence; Andy Townsend!

As I said at the start - someone who could command universal respect and be seen as the voice of calm reassurance. A current club employee is not going to do that.

BFR would get my vote, I know that he comes with some baggage but I think he has learned lessons. Might be too controversial though.

If we want someone with gravitas, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother does away with that in a stroke.

Sir Graham would be the first name to spring to my mind. Des Bremner has had some senior roles at the PFA I believe. On the occasions I have met Ken McNaught he comes across as quietly authoritive. Brian Little would be the only other suitable name I could come up with.
