SwindonCanary 455 Posted December 27, 2015 Ed Balls. Not too keen on him as a politician but maybe OK as a Chairman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidderminster Exile 0 Posted December 27, 2015 Terrible choice, saw him have Dinner and close conversation with delia, MWJ. and McNally recently and suspected this might happen. NOT HAPPY as we need someone with money not more old cronies. we have become a joke and its not funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted December 27, 2015 What an awful appointment IMO, what the hell will he bring to the club?So when others attract investment or an experienced man, we have an economist adviser with limited experience in this area.Not really an appointment to advance the club but more in line with the owners wants.Still I''m pretty sure the normal pro board on here will be delighted with this.....Not great news was hoping for a step change and move in a forward direction, how we will miss Bowkett, methinks.

shefcanary 2,341 Posted December 27, 2015 Wow, well done Delia - woman of principle obviously. This could blow the support wide apart though. Thank god it''s what happens on the pitch that matters. So if he really did bankrupt the country (he didn''t that''s Tory fiction), then those advocating a spend to stay up policy surely m7ust have their wish come true now! Let the fun begin.

Felixfan 53 Posted December 27, 2015 Delia is a Labour supporter so this makes sense. From what I have heard Ed is very astute financially and may have lots of connections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted December 27, 2015 Purely a pals appointment, IMO, limited gain for the club, let''s see where we are in six months time with our new Chairman.Sad when clubs all around are attracting investment and football nouse, we get a failed Labour Economist, who''s next onto the board.....Delias catering manager? Publisher? Gardener? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,531 Posted December 27, 2015 Ed Balls is a dynamic and abrasive character who doesn''t suffer fools much at all, let alone gladly, and has an impressive list of contacts. In those ways I doubt he is much different to the man he is replacing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted December 27, 2015 Not as a figurehead but Bowkett bought so much more to the club and if we wanted to make a statement and a big step forward this could have been a great time to bring on something better.....I know my reaction is negative but knowing Bowkett this really is like a non event!
