Feck off Bates, your a **** and that is fact: A real Chairman of a football club acts like this man: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17094436 ..Quinn.
The day I see the headline 'Bates steps down as Leeds Chairman' or 'Bates found dead' will be a brilliant day.
Quinn statement: "I've had the most amazing six years and it gives me a huge sense of pride to see where Sunderland is today, Sunderland is in an incredibly fortunate position to have a hugely talented team of people leading the football club right now. There is a tremendous amount of energy about the place and the board and the executive management team are a dynamic and committed group, who hold the best interests of the club at the core of all they do. Everything is in place for Sunderland to really make a statement, which was always my aim". Top bloke and someone who fully understands what being the chairman of a football club means and how to act.
He really is a top bloke. Always admired him as a player, but truly took to him as a man when he gave his testimonial proceeds to charity. His autobiography is a good read, btw. I recommend it.
