Each to their own. I'd personally prefer an owner who is less high profile (was never a fan of MAF and his scarf twirling, me me me approach), and doesn't feel the need to run onto the pitch and berate the manager at the end of a dissapointing match. Ranty shouty owners tend to go the same way as ranty shouty managers. Great at first, then the impact of the ranty shoutiness wears off. -- SW6.doc

In reply to: Mickey 's message, "Perhaps , but should it not be about footballing Decisions and Appointments ? Give me passion and involvement over finances ( within reasons ) any day . They were 3rd for most of season before falling off ; finished in a European place and even had a visit to Wembley ( seemingly so important to many here ). Yes Manager and Players have to take their share , but there’s no doubting his drive and presence compared to Khan. This is what I abhor , his total disconnect with the fanbase" on Friday, June 20, 02:19:43pm

As you say ‘Each to their own. ‘. Admittedly it’s a lot easier to succeed with Olympiakos and where they are than with a Non-Elite , but decent sized Club in the PL. Yes he indulges himself at times , but you know the passion and drive is always there . Away from him I made a recent comparison of Khan to Parrish at Palace . There you have humility yet a genuine feeling for both Club and Fans. Ever present , accessible and seemingly runs the Club really well.

- But is a long way from being the major shareholder. He acts more like an executive fan liaison. Textor does not like the level of control he has within the club. He will eventually be sidelined.. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Friday, June 20, 05:21:28pm (NoHost/84.64.182.100)
