If Charles Green Can Call a Spade a Spade So Can We


Recommended Posts

Sheffield United F.C.

 

Green was officially appointed chief executive of Sheffield United in February 1996 by chairman Mike McDonald following his take over of the club, although in reality Green had been operating in that role since September 1995.[4] It was a period of rapid change for United and Green oversaw the day-to-day running of the club. By 1997 however, he had begun to take decisions over a wider area than his previous remit, including the running of the first team itself, leading to unrest amongst both supporters and staff.[4] In March 1998, manager Nigel Spackman resigned citing interference in team affairs by Green and in protest at a number of the club's better players being sold without consultation and without funds to replace them.[4] After furious protests by United supporters Green stepped down as chief executive a few days later, although he remained on the PLC board for a period before leaving the club along with McDonald later that year.[4]

They were unhappy he sold a couple of players when in reality it was needed.

No need for abuse but it was bound to get strong reaction, more fans are still behind Green than you may think.

 

Feathers have been ruffled, that's for sure.
