Pre season tour

It's a while ago now - I think it's shocking. That's a title that has always been used as a special recognition. When I first started going it was James Grimshaw who I think had previously been chairman. Then it was Doc Iven given his years with the club as club doctor and director and finally Jimmy McIlroy for the most obvious of reasons.

Then, all of a sudden, Stuart Hunt becomes president.

I always find it surprising how few actually care about such things

The title is just an americanism. In the NBA, most teams (or franchises to give them their correct title) have an owner, then a President and Vice President of Business Operations and a President and Vice President of Basketball Operations (think Director or Football/Sporting Director) then a General Manager then Head Coach. Similar goes for NHL and NFL.

But what if disregarding the history of the football club for "just an americanism" is actually bad? Could this attitude have other implications?

Maybe because in the context of wider life it really doesn’t matter.

Quite. There are a few fixations held by some people on here and while sometimes understandable to an extent, it does veer into self-parody at times.

Problem being though for someone who spends a lot of his spare time investigating the owners in a desperate attempt to find some wrong doing, be involved with people who both contact MP's demanding they get answers from the club as well as FOI's being used for accounts matters anything to have a pop at the owners can't be missed.

It comes as no shock that those offended by this title dislike the owners.

I doubt it it’s more along the lines of the Soccer Six’s where its ex/former players and celebs
