A Tale of Two Chairmen

In the past week (fortnight, I lose track these days?) or so two former Poppies Chairmen have had the barefaced cheek to get involved in the world of football again.  It makes you wonder why.  Surely being Chairman of the Poppies for more than five minutes would put you off being involved in any sort of organised sport ever again, let alone football.

While Dave Mahoney's appointment to the Vice Chairmanship of the Northants Senior Youth League has been pretty much positively received by the Poppies faithful, Ritchie Jeune's joining of the Jersey Bulls Board has been met with a frostier reception.  Admittedly this has been on social media by pretty much the same people who enjoyed hounding him out of the Poppies in the first place, but it made for familiarly depressing reading.

What do they want of Ritchie?  They didn't want him here and made that clear.  Now they're not keen on him being at another club.  Some of the criticism of him came across as petty, some was borderline stupid given the fact he still OWNS our club.  You don't have to bend over and hold your cheeks apart for Ritchie, but considering he can end the Poppies with the stroke of a pen perhaps box a little cleverer when abusing the guy?

looks curiously a lot happier when he puts
a large body of water between himself and the Poppies

  1. Crazy stuff, Ritchie pretty much saved our club and then propped it up for many years.
