Nothing unusual about this,Chairman have been on team photos for decades.
Derrick Robins and the rest of the board were on a 1960s photo.Jimmy Hill when he was chairman and Bryan Richardson were also on in later years.
Our fans moan about anything

One photo that had me and my mate howling was a photo in The Pink of the bench at Selhurst Park, maybe , early to mid ninety's I think. (My memory's terrible so I might be wrong on the ground)

It named all the players and coaching staff on the bench, on the end was the coach driver who they named as well!

He had more right to be on the bench than Ken Dulieu, at least he had "Coach" in his job title.

Sure he wasn't just a coach with the surname Driver?

Not a contradiction at all.

its actually pointing out the irony that some people only feel satisfied when they're complaining. If they don't have something to bitch about, they get miserable. It's not about happiness in the traditional sense—it's about finding contentment in their discontent. It's a paradox, yeh, but not a contradiction...there's a difference

Maybe the point is…if some people seem perennially unhappy, there’s something else going on rather than it being a character trait.

You'd kill for Turners job some days. A day sat there playing guess who between the website and the squad photo, then a 10 minute write up. Tough days graft.

People mainly object to threads when they have an issue with the subject matter. I don't think anyone is having a go at King or diminishing what he has done for CCFC. People, like me, are simply pointing out that it's a bit, well, odd. Nothing more.

Our past chairmen, owner etc have been in previous squad pics over the decades.

They have.I think people are moaning about this because the team haven’t started the season well.
If we were top of the league it wouldn’t even be mentioned.

All kinds of odd things have been going on for decades. It’s the incidence compared to the total population of football clubs that makes it odd, not when it first appeared.

I think "going on for decades" is a bit of a stretch. Why not show us all the times it's happened over the decades.

So other clubs do it, we have been doing it for decades and you think it’s odd ?

the truth is posters were trying to position this as DK over reaching and that’s been proven to be incorrect

I can recall Jimmy Hill, Poynton, and Richardson all doing it.

another poster said Derrick Robins did it too.

So four times in 50 years? Hardly the norm then? Nothing against King at all. He's improved our club no end over the last couple of years. As I said l though, it's an odd thing to do.

owners have owned the club for multiple years ….

Is this true? Hill as chairman in the club photo? I certainly wouldn’t be surprised had Bryan Richardson done it but I can’t actually find any evidence of it.

Poynton was pretty low key as a Chairman. It should be easy to find a squad photo he was in if he did it.

I'm not talking about the number of owners we've had, but the number who thought their place was in the centre of a squad photo.
