For the fans sake I hope this guy does not buy the club, thank god for the trust.

A pr*ck with too much money and time on his hands; lord help grass roots footy if his ilk get on board

THats awful. As far as im concerned fans are the most important part of football. Surely you can generate income for sponsors to spend that sort of cash without fans at this level. Surely this guy should fail the fit and proper test anyways

he sounds a right proper tw*t hate people who are like that care about there seleves no one else around them

Its became an all too familiar scenario these last few years, however this guy is taking the ****. This bit confirms my opinion that he doesn't care about football.....

Interviewer: So you don’t think the fans play an important part in a football club?

Batchelor: Not interested. If they want to come and watch successful professional football in Chester – under whatever guise – if it belongs to me they will do it on my terms. If they don’t want to come, fine.

Surely we as a club in theory could help here, We could have a protest against this guy in support of Chester fans(Maybe other clubs could follow suit over the next few to show we all dont want this man in football

What a complete first class **** jockey this bloke is. I know Chesters support has dwindled in the last 2 or 3 years but their genuine fans dont deserve a ***** like this running their club.

All i can say is. What a nasty piece of work, i hope someone nicks his money then he cant buy Chester.

He really doesnt understand the concept of a spectator sport.If no one watches a football match then the whole point of professional sport ceases to exist.

As has been suggested in other posts,just another "business" man a.k.a legalised criminal.

What an arrogant t*sser.

People like this just make the growth in Trust controlled clubs more vital.
