Stephen Cleeve …..How will he be remembered ?

[Mallard]

For me he started off with big bold ideas.  The latest big idea to fund the club but after the first few  fell by the wayside  then the warning signs were there.

His initial  dream of League Football should have been a red flag but maybe many thought he had the money to fund it.

No one can accuse him if not being afraid to spend his own money.   Was certainly an interesting 'character'

Took us farther than anyone else...I can go back a long long time.

[Mallard]

Fair comment.  Is best day (s) work was Getting Culverhouse in

[Nigel1505]

Needed big Mick W, Big Jack, Freddie E, Danny B to help him along. Halcyon days

[Mallard]

Mark Howard not getting a look Nigel ?

[Nigel1505]

Can't remember him, Martini I can...shaken but not stirred. Who was the lad who played when Grant Holt!! Allegedly played ex Norwich. Simon Lappin just remembered lovely player.

[Mallard]

The King of Spain ?  ( Simon Lappin)

[Nigel1505]

Can anybody, I doubt it even me go back to when Ken Gadsby was manager. Years ago I worked with his wife Dorothy at The Education Office in St.Margarets House. He showed me his England caps and such a lovely fella..never forgot that day. They lived next door to Lenny Rush the keeper of the late Queens Pigeons.

                                  GLASSWASHER :::::::::::::::::::::: Enough said.

[Quinn Upstone]

Is this his obituary ? Certainly sounds like it, or do you all know something I don't ?

My latest understanding is that he's not going anywhere.

And short of taking away his ability use social media, I think it's shortsighted to think he'll go about his new duties (whatever they may be) in a calm, quiet and responsible manner.

As far as how one remembers his "stewardship", for me it's a mixed bag.

No one can say that he hasn't put his money where his mouth is.

There has been some amazing... and horrendous football. Times of ecstasy... and of devastation. Pride in our achievements... and embarrassment in our failings.

But in my opinion, overall I feel that during his tenure Mr Cleeve has done more good than bad.

And he has given me my football.

Divisive and entertaining

[Blue_and_Gold]

He needed protecting from himself.

[Mallard]

Seems like the 'job' he has been given is just to placate him and get this deal over the line.  Is it even a real job ?

[Blue_and_Gold]

I hope the plan is that he has to pay for admission, and doesn't think he's entitled to a seat in the Directors box.

And let him clean the pigeon s*it from whatever seat he decides to use himself, as other supporters very often have to do.

[happymondays]

He will probably keep his Saturday job as head of box office takings and banking and official attendance announcer.
