Pop star Williams eyeing Vale role

Quoted from: http://www.teamtalk.com/

'Fan and multi-millionaire pop star Robbie Williams wants to become chairman of League One side Port Vale when his music career is over.

Current chairman Bill Bratt says Williams, who is the club's leading shareholder with a 24.9% stake, has revealed the ambition to him.
But Williams has declined the club's offer to become its honorary president as his work commitments mean he is unable to devote enough time to the role.


Williams: Serious about Vale

Speaking at the Vale EGM on Monday night, Bratt said: "I can guarantee you that providing the club moves forward and he likes what he sees, he will become more and more involved. Robbie is one person you could trust and he has the club at heart.
"He said in the future he would like to be chairman of Port Vale or get involved a lot more. But that could be a long time into the future once his recording career is over."
Lifelong Vale fan Williams sank £249,000 into the club in January but Bratt said the singer is not likely to invest more in the near future. He said: "We are keeping him informed about how things are going. I am sure he is happy with the situation as it stands."
