Broughton - a final goodbye

[Fredo]

I'm divided on Broughton. He did a great job removing H & G, but then he was chairman of the board (brief or not - he was there at the PC unveiling Hodgson) when a decision was made to remove Rafa and appoint Dodgson.

Then, he did spout some **** about relaxing security at Airports ...

Great guy (in relation to what he did for LFC), but legend? I don't think so.

I'm divided on Broughton. He did a great job removing H & G, but then he isnt Rafa. As chairman of the board (brief or not - he was there at the PC unveiling Hodgson) when a decision was made to remove my beloved Rafa and appoint Dodgson.

Then, he did spout some **** about man-for-man marking being better than my beloved zonal. If rafa says it's best, then who is anyone to argue? Broughton, Pele, Jesus Christ, even God himself. They dont know better than my beloved.

He's been knighted!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12093737

The chairman of British Airways, Martin Broughton, has received a knighthood in the New Year Honours.

Sir Martin, who had another high-profile role recently as the chairman who oversaw the sale of Liverpool FC, was honoured for services to business.

Also knighted are Centrica and ex-Cadbury's chairman Roger Carr, Reed Recruitment founder Alec Reed, and the CBI's director general Richard Lambert.

The founders of retailers Ted Baker and Lush have received other honours.

Sir Martin, 63, who lives in Oxted, Surrey, had an eventful 12 months dealing with strikes by BA cabin crew and massive disruption to flights caused by snow and the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud.

He also oversaw the protracted sale of Liverpool football club, bought by New England Sports Ventures. He had been brought in by the club on a temporary basis with a brief to find a suitable buyer.

Sir Martin, married with two children, is a fan of football, and Chelsea in particular, but horse racing is his real love.

He is credited with helping to safeguard the future of the horse racing industry during his stint as chairman of the British Horseracing Board between 2004 and 2007.
