Chairman up and down the Country are always calling themselves "Fans" of the clubs in which they are in charge. However, not many Chairman take the term "Fan" literally. Rick Hayward does.

 Rick Hayward, who was handed the Molineux hot-seat by Sir Jack Hayward before Christmas has taken the job to heart.

 Infact, he is so determined to show his passion for the club he now owns, he has joined the London Wolves Supporters Club.

 Not only has he paid his £15 membership, but he also has a laugh and joke with supporters on the train to games and offers to buy in a round!

 "I try to make the train with the London Wolves who are a great bunch of people" Rick Hayward says. "We have a big giggle and a lot of laughs. But I think that the Board and Jez Moxey are petrified of what I'm going to say after a few pints on the train!"

Not only does the Chairman of our club travel with a supporters club, but he also has a few pints in the local boozer before the game.

 Wolves Supporter and fellow London Wolves Supporters Club Member John Golding added "He's a really nice bloke who seemed genuinely interested in the views of the supporters. He took time to speak to them and ask their opinion. And it was nice of him to buy the drinks!"

Nice One!

THE HOT TOPIC: Should Ferdinand be allowed to play against Wolves?

Calling All Wolves Fans, Manchester United Fans and Football Fans in General. We want you to take part in our hot debate, which this week is about Rio Ferdinand.

We ask you "Do You Think Rio Ferdinand Should Be Allowed To Play Against Wolves?"

Rio Ferdinand was due to start an 8-month ban from Football on the 12 January after failing to give a sample at a random drug test at the Manchester United training base last year.

He was found guilty, banned for 8 months and as the ban was due to start on the 12th January it means that Ferdinand would have been unable to play for the Red`s on January 17th when they play Wolves at Molineux.

However, as `clarification over the reasons behind his suspension will not be received until the middle of this week` it means that his ban will be delayed, meaning Rio Ferdinand will be allowed to play at Molineux on January the 17th.

We want readers now to debate on this issue. Do you believe the ban is fair, do you believe that it is right for a player who has been found guilty should play at Molineux? What are you views?
