Nigel Howe is the chief executive of Reading Football Club, who currently play in the Coca Cola Championship in England.
The majority of Howe's career was in property management before joining John Madejski in 1995 when he took over as chief executive of Reading F.C. Howe has led the redevelopment of both the club's stadium and its business management, and now Reading F.C. is widely regarded[who?] as one of the best managed clubs in the Football League. Howe is also a non-executive director of a number of other businesses in which John Madejski has invested including the BenhamGoodhead Print Group, Sackville Properties and the Ark Group. He is also a non-executive director of the Clearview Traffic Group.
Howe is the nephew of former England and Arsenal coach Don Howe.[1]
Shortly after former manager Brendan Rodgers left Reading F.C. in December 2009, he was quoted in the Reading Evening Post as saying the lack of communication with Howe was a problem. Rodgers said “I felt we needed more communication between the chief executive and I. I never received one call from him and I felt we needed to (be in contact more), so I stipulated that at the meeting (in November 2009)".[2]
