As chairman of a business, you'd expect him to have an excellent knowledge of the industry and to interact with his customers.

I remember him actually coming on to replace an injured linesman in a match (in the days before there was a 4th official) -think it was Spurs/Arsenal or some such..... Willo!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by NEILLO He also got Brentford promoted as manager with Ray Lew as his assistant. Absolutely right. Noades later handed over the managerial 'Reins' to Lewington. Noades signed a plethora of players at Brentford, one of which Darren Powell,whom he signed from Hampton, later signed for our club. Noades also signed players from our club, Gareth Graham, Tony Folan, Danny Boxall and perhaps some others. Edited by Willo (26 Jan 2021 9.18am)

And Herman Hreidarsson. Bought the league then claimed to be a decent manager. He would never have given his employees that kind of backing. In a way it highlights his contempt for the fans, running his own vanity project instead of appointing a specialist, ultimately almost bankrupting Brentford. If Parish or Jordan put themselves in charge you'd be livid.

Having a qualification isn't an endorsement of someone's character. Goldberg was manager at Beckenham, Bromley, and Welling. Jimmy Hill was a player, manager, chairmans, and official, Dave Wheaton was a player and chairman who said he'd made all his money from football and was happy to lose it all on it Our last 3 chairmen have all been supporters of the club, two left bankrupt, whilst one stuffed his pockets with cash.

Originally posted by kevlee He loved the club so much he destroyed it to line his own pockets. Agreed it took an idiot like Mark Goldberg to help him do it. Mark's problem was that he was a Palace fan with stars in his eyes and not enough money to own a football club. Noades used his retained ownership of the ground as a pawn in his pursuit of personal gain. It took years of pain to get over the damage hes did to the club. Too many rose tinted glasses being worn I'm afraid. The only thing Ron was interested in was himself. this is spot on. If you love the club why rip us off so much after you've left. Continuing owning the freehold almost destroyed us and don't forget he also still owned the training ground so made millions out of that too. Yes, Goldberg was a complete idiot but by shafting him he shafted us. I've seen a copy of the lease agreement when Noades owned the ground - 7.5% of all matchday revenue and Noades received everything on non matchdays. After getting �23m from Goldberg and years of rent afterwards plus the training ground i always wondered why he didn't just sell the freehold back for say �5m as a gesture of goodwill. Rose tinted glasses indeed
