I miss ideas such as making sky blue Sam slim and text a sub
Wonder what Ken's up to these days?
Ahh yes of course. I’ll take it back then. I’m sure there was another Odd Brody ideaThe first one was Igwe or whatever his name was.
I like Brody, he misfires a bit but he’s innovative and tried to evolve the commercial side of the game which there isn’t anything like enough of these days.

The text a sub thing was innovative giving legs to audience participation, Which is now prevalent across media.The first one was Igwe or whatever his name was.

Top googling G. Is that all that came up...trustee of the National Harp Orchestra?!

It would certainly have given vent to matchread emotions displayed on here .
Probably the wrong vehicle to expand it into.
Yeah fair comments about the innovation but it being the wrong direction with which to take it.
It would just totally undermine the manager and start a path to rendering them worthless.
Don't worry, I had a googles myself. Seems very charitable at the moment.
Have you seen his Wiki page (which I know can be edited by the man himself)? Quite positive write ups about his time at Saints and Cov.
i wish we could have it now.. imagine the responses on here “ok - who the fuck voted to replace Kelly with Dabo”The text a sub thing was innovative giving legs to audience participation, Which is now prevalent across media.

Not sure it was him but likely was ,Pwkh thought he was a decent fellow.
I don't disagree. When you see things like Fan Boost happening in Formula E however, you have to say he wasn't far away from where the winds are blowing.Yeah fair comments about the innovation but it being the wrong direction with which to take it.

tbf his time as chairman was pretty disastrous.I just wonder if Jimmy Hill had publicised every idea he ever had if G wouldn’t be on here calling him a clown too.

Football is in desperate need of innovation when you look at how well commercialised other entertainment is. We’re still stuck on the model of the 1960s.
Fair, though equally he is credited with creating the modern game and many would like to see a return of things like the Sky Blue Express (OK maybe just me).
Point stands that you need ideas, even if 99% of them get shot down. Football chairmen are ridiculously conservative for a bunch of people basically throwing money down a black hole.

My Jimmy alarm just rang
He was a real innovator.....and as you rightly say, if you don't float any ideas, then nothing changes.
I'm not saying all of his ideas were good ones, but I still believe he has had a greater impact on the modern game than anyone else in history.
All-seaters, 3 points for a win, studio pundits, pre-match entertainment, comprehensive football programmes, shirt sponsorship......
Bloke was a true visionary.......and a fucking legend. I was so proud to shake his hand at the final game at HR. Love you Jimmy.
i was briefly chatting to him a year or so ago . While he is no longer on the board or in the decision making, in his words "He still helps out where he can" what ever that means - and he does still have an investment
He did also believe that a return to the Ricoh was likely - alas that didnt happen
I'm reading the book about the 80/81 season by Steve Phelps at the minute. As much as Hill is lauded for his achievements the first time round, the second time you could argue that he stopped the club prospering to become a regular top half team in the top flight with his stupid schemes (US football, the Connexion, the all seater stadium)
Letting just about the entiore first team's contracts run out at the same time was pretty crazy, too.I'm reading the book about the 80/81 season by Steve Phelps at the minute.

In fairness, he was probably years ahead of his time with the US football thing.
