Was going to post the same, also just finished the book and found it an excellent read, some of our younger supporters reading it would learn about what a great man he was for our club.

Yes really great, only inaccuracy was referring to a previous manager as Peter Docherty when he was actually Peter Doherty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Graham has said Tommy, there's no connection between the two. However, it could have been different if Dolman hadn't insisted in going ahead in the face of terrible inflation pressures against the wishes of the rest of the board. Chelsea got into financial difficulties around the same time because of stopping work on their own redevelopment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
