BrandNewGuy Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 It hasn't been laid out yet, but I suspect it involves an injection of cash, though of course DHFC are keen not to go back down the road of having a moneybags owner but are committed to an ownership model which gives a pivotal role to fans. I imagine Peter will be an excellent ambassador for the club as well as having very useful contacts within the game.Very pleased to see him on board ? I'm a DHFC shareholder and season ticket holder, but by upbringing a Villa fan and enjoyed his time at Villa Park where I felt he hadn't been given a fair chance... he later went on to play for England, of course. Always comes across as an honest and intelligent critic of the game via his excellent 5 Live podcast:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06kyljg/episodes/downloads Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/287699-peter-crouch-joins-dulwich-hamlets-board/#findComment-1519606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandNewGuy Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Southwark News today on Crouch's involvement:There will no doubt be much intrigue around Crouch. Dulwich Hamlet communications and media director Tom Cullen told the News: ?We had him as a player, but it?s a coup that we?ve managed to get him now considering how busy he is. We just can?t wait to see what he offers.?A natural fit for him is obviously the football side of things, which is beneficial for both Ryan and Gavin to be able to have someone on the board who is a football person. Our football staff need support in that area and Peter can give that. A great amount of knowledge and support.?We?re absolutely thrilled.?Another club source told the News: ?He will be involved in every aspect of the running of DHFC, from advising transfer policy, helping out with the women?s team and even pouring pints at the bar! He will be heavily involved with both DHFC and DHFCW.?https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport/45521-2/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/287699-peter-crouch-joins-dulwich-hamlets-board/#findComment-1519732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
