I guess the days of the local butcher made good, car dealer or bakery* owning the local club are long. long gone.
* I worked for a year at Warburtons Bakery in Bolton, the family pretty much owned the club & Burnden Park. Every Friday in the year I was there, the hapless Phil Neal would be hauled up to the board room at the bakery to meet the owners - I guess to get their approval for his team selection. The bakery itself was a retirement home for ex-players as well, I remember Wyn Davies working there - a right miserable sod!0 -
