trav4 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Â Ignoring your first line.... If you read my earlier posts I said I wasn't making a dig about your chairmans expenditure at United.... I'm not looking to point score over who's spent most money....obviously you know more about Mammadov than most Wednesdayites... Especially so considering you went to the trouble of looking up company information about his PLC and posting it on this forum... Â When did I do that?. Thanks for the compliment on my knowledge about Wednesday reading a lot on here I'm sure you are correct about that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To be fair that's true of loads of chairmen. Successful canny businessmen in real life, get involved with a football club and completely lose the plot! [/quote]    Can't count Richards in that,a useless business man and a useless chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trav4 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Funny how Wednesday fans slag Dave Richards who during his tenure gave Wednesday fans their most successful times in most fans living memory. The years owls fans constantly go back to in many football debate to back their massive tag up. Those times may be the cause of their later demise but would any of them wish they never happened?.

He did have a go but then got out when he saw the writing on the wall at Wednesday and saw a fresh opportunity for self-aggrandisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw47 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes but did he Richards do anything toward it or did his tenure just happen to coincide? Â Genuine question, I have no idea as I don't pay too much attention to the goings on at S6, I have disasters of my own to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trav4 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Yes but did he Richards do anything toward it or did his tenure just happen to coincide? Genuine question, I have no idea as I don't pay too much attention to the goings on at S6, I have disasters of my own to worry about.  I actually did work for his company three star engineering and I had contracts at swfc and spent a lot of time there behind the scenes and seeing what went on day to day. All I can say about Dave Richards when he was there is that he was Wednesday through and through and spent a lot of time there taking schoolkids, scouts and cubs etc on tours of the ground, he used to say "these are our future season ticket holders". As for him doing anything towards the succes him being the man in charge would suggest so.... Edited July 2, 2014 by trav4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Mc Gee sowed the seeds of our rise,Atkinson was in charge of the team when Richards was made chairman,my thoughts are he was in the right place at the right time when we were at our best but when he had to carry it on he did a runner when he failed.
