To be honest I can't think of anyone better suited for such a role than Dave Woodhall.I am not sure he would go for the title but Club Ambassador wouldn't be too objectionable, I wouldn't have thought.I know you guys like to pull his leg but I can't think of anyone who has been as diplomatic about the club's transition than Dave, while still retaining his integrity, by walking the fine line between proper concern and knee-jerk overreaction.He doesn't talk in irritating PR-speak and as a proper fan his appointment would be a step nearer to getting the fans properly involved in the club.So I would vote for Dave because every other candidate fails on at least one of the measures l have listed above.Whether he would want it or not is another matter.
Oooooh look at Percy and his boyfriend.
I am pushed to think of anyone worse than Mervyn King - besides obviously David Cameron (who has actually gone on record saying he doesn't like football - before he had to change his image and appeal to the common man). Mervyn King has already ripped the country off, and us once already, with the whole banking scandal. I can't believe people would think it would be a good idea for him to then be club president of the club we love. Have people lost their minds?! My only consolation is that the votes are split between Sir Brian and Sir Graham and there are more votes for them combined. Jeez - shaky head thing.

My only consolation is that the votes are split between Sir Brian and Sir Graham and there are more votes for them combined. Jeez - shaky head thing. How has Mervyn King ripped the country off?Love Sirs Brian and Graham as I do, there's also a very valid point someone made on a previous page that a former football manager in the post would always be seen as a possible threat to the incumbent manager.I think that's enough of a risk to rule out former managers, in fact.
Mervyn King was instrumental in ripping us off to the tune of at least £1 Trillion pounds of our money in the banking collapse and subsequent bail out/scam. He then supported the Tory Lib coalitions drastic cuts in public services - affecting millions of vulnerable people. Quite a legacy.
