There is no comparison between them (I actually liked Radzinksi too...)

Campbell is a MASSIVE part of our history. He did start brilliantly the next season too when him and Jeffers formed a quality partnership, then he played whilst injured and was never the same player. You cant really account for these things.

Well you can account for them, if you give a 5 yr deal to someone who’s 30 and who is all about pace, there’s a good chance you’re asking for trouble. And that’s how it turned out.

While Radzinski like I said had a similar scoring record and was sold on for a fee, people will say I remember him fast, worked hard scored a few goals, yet Campbell is a legend.

The point I was making was his vote plus two others carries the motion.

Thanks, I got that lol

The other 4 are Brands (not going to vote with him), the Barrett-Baxendale (I guess could possibly vote with him? though she's only been on the Board since '16 and CEO since '18 - a Moshiri appointee), Ryazantsev (Moshiri's long-time money man, he's not voting with him), and someone I can't remember, so that's a wild card variable.

BK is outnumbered!

Mrs. Baxendale, would be more of a guess in my opinion and her being on the board points to Kenwright still having influence in the clubs workings.

I’m just speculating that the chairman was in Moshiri’s ear over those two appointments.

Campbell deserved every single penny he got from us. He saved us from oblivion.

Ball was a managerial choice, made before he was the chairman for a player who never ended up amounting to much anyway! It's an incredibly weird thing to put on Kenwright.

Why would Kenwright tell Smith to buy a load of over the hill footballers on big wages when you are saying he was also responsible for selling young players to make money. Surely if this was the case he would want him to buy cheap young players who we could then sell off for huge profits? It makes zero sense.

He backed his manager in his decisions which is the right thing to do (even if it was the wrong manager) our manager has always had complete control under him.

Kenwright HAS made mistakes, you do need to make things up to make it worse.

Here is the thing though, its like I am a Kenwright fan or something, I'm not really, I just don't think he is anywhere near as bad as some make out and I think it makes is look a bit silly saying he is. You only have to look around elsewhere to see what a bad chairman/owner is like. He was a solid 6 out for 10 for me.

Campbell IS a legend because he saved us from certain doom. He is also iconic as our first black captain and generally a top bloke who was always really good with the fans. I don't really get why you don't understand that?

Also Kevin Campbell was all about pace?? Really? Why do you think that?

Has she?Have you just come back from the match Papa? Very flat wasn’t it, but we got through.

Yeah I thought it was pretty much well known that she had done a lot of good work especially with the EITC stuff?

I don't really go as much as I used to any more, too much money not enough reward. Watched it on the snide of course. Wins a win. Professional, if a bit of a dour performance. Really hoping we make a proper go of the league cup, we need "something" to get us at least vaguely excited.
 
If we do have a long run in the League Cup and even get a few more lucky draws and make the final, the downside to that would be BK would be throwing himself infront of every available camera hogging the limelight and doing interviews on every radio station possible like he did in the build up to the 2009 FA Cup final. We'd be seeing his smug grid everywhere.

He's nowhere to be seen when times are bad though.
