Ken Dulieu

Ken 'Mr Orange' Dulieu was chairman of Southampton Leisure Holdings plc and of Southampton Football Club following the departure of Leon Crouch. He stood down on 17 December 2007 after the shareholders rejected investment proposals[1] to be replaced by Leon Crouch as acting chairman.
Southampton Football Club is a subsidiary of the plc.
A resident of Portugal, he is the founder and Chairman of Capcon Holdings plc which carries out corporate investigations, business intelligence gathering, research and audit services. He is also a Non Executive Director of Vantis plc, an accountancy and financial services business. Both of these companies are quoted on the Alternative Investment Market. Prior to this he was founder and Chief Executive of Capitol Group plc, a security business that was fully quoted on the London Stock Exchange. He was appointed as non-executive chairman of the Southampton Leisure Holdings plc in July 2006 but was soon given an executive role.[2]
[edit] Coventry City
On 28 March 2011, Dulieu, nicknamed "Orange Ken", replaced Ray Ranson as Coventry City chairman, with Ranson relinquishing all control of the club and leaving the club completely.[3]
Since August 2011, Coventry City Fans have been protesting for owners SISU and chairman Dulieu to be removed from the club. [4]
After a failed take over bid by Gary Hoffman, Dulieu is still chairman of cash-strapped Coventry City and it is alleged that he receives first-class return flights to Coventry from his mansion in Portugal, accommodation at the luxurious Coombe Abbey & a chauffeur driven car around the country. Despite the club losing 500K a month, Dulieu is alleged to continually live a life of luxury funded by the club.
Despite many questions asked of him in terms of the direction of Coventry City - the local newspaper - Coventry Telegraph - are now finally questioning the integrity and honesty of Dulieu. This follows on from the "SISU out" protests, and is now the opinion of the large majority of the Coventry fans who understand the club are now being used as a pawn to enable SISU to prepare an exit plan with limited damage, under a newly formed Company of which Ken is a director Otium Limited. His attitude to the supporters of Coventry City Football is also similar to that of the owners SISU. It is alleged that the receptionist who works at the HQ of the owners told a visiting supporter to 'f**k off', it appears that Dulieu also shares this attitude towards loyal supporters of the club.
