City 2nd 191 Posted May 10, 2016 Looking at the statement today from the club (Balls) in that the resignation was ''out of the blue'' on Saturday night, but discussed by the board on Sunday and ''unanimously accepted'' that Mr McN had made his mind up some time ago that he was leaving. I would suggest pastures new already agreed!I don''t think it''s been all plain sailing in and around Carrow Road for McN this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted May 10, 2016 [quote user="frettenhammer"]FWIW My take is that McNally has shown himself to be an emotional man,and I think this coupled with a few too many on Saturday night (after a desperately disappointing day) led him to `tweet` inadvisably.It is perhaps more revealing that Delia and Michael took the opportunity to accept his `resignation` thereby saving a considerable amount in compensation that would have been payable should they have subsequently sacked him.[/quote]This is exactly how I read the situation.McNally made an error of judgment and the board seized the moment. No twitter account and McNally would still be CEO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 272 Posted May 10, 2016 McNally had reached his limit. I think he''s just lost it and I don''t mean that in a cruel way. He apparently was walking around Tombland in circles on Saturday night so make of that what you will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCCANARY 263 Posted May 11, 2016 Please explain how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted May 11, 2016 Appointments to the board are made by the current directors and when they are up for re -election it is a formal procedure to do so at the AGM on a show of hands. Shareholders have no say in appointments. Blimey do you think if that was the case they would have elected Tom Smith and Stephen Fry to the board ? However if there is a show of hands against an individual from the floor the decision is made on a block vote so Delia and Michael''s 357,000 no doubt supported by Foulger and others vastly outvotes the rank and file shareholders.I hope you get what i am saying TCC but to think an AGM decides future appointments and can decide who to get rid of is just not right at all.

ricardo 7,345 Posted May 11, 2016 [quote user="TCCANARY"]Please explain how it works.[/quote]Directors are elected on a three year rotation and shareholders can vote yay or nay as the case me be.Guess what happens when my 20 shares go up against Delia and Winnies 350k.

Making Plans 936 Posted May 11, 2016 You''re not left with many options but to resign when you''ve publicty said that "relegation would be a fate worse than death", especially when you know it is going to happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted May 11, 2016 OK, I was confused because you said ''not at all'' so I thought I''d got it completely wrong, looks like I should have used the word ''elect'' instead of ''appoint'', but I disagree that it''s not possible for shareholders to get rid of or elect a director, it''s unlikely given the current allocation of shares but still possible.

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted May 11, 2016 I guess the more shares you own have the bigger say you have. Would we want it any other way? Imagine if you bought Delia out and were told that an ex copper and ex bog cleaner could decide who was on your board... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
