“It’s all new, but I try to relate it to scenarios that apply to a normal club,” he said. “If I wanted to go and spend some money on a forward, I wouldn’t just go out and spend it. I’d have to put it before a board. My board isn’t six, it’s 20,000 - it’s the same thing, but on a bigger scale.

 

“People say, ‘They can vote you out, sack you’, well who gets managers the sack in the end? It’s the supporters isn’t it? I know loads of managers who have had great relationships with their chairman, but he sees he has to do something. Sometimes it works the other way. Is it better working for 20,000 than for one tyrannical man when, if there’s a personality clash, the whole thing breaks down?”
