The Raptor 1,233 Posted June 14, 2022 Thanks for what you've done Stephan. Not sure exactly what it's been as you've relatively quiet but I'm sure it's been worthwhile. Make sure your replacement is really rich. Or jar jar binks. At least that would be funny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,316 Posted June 14, 2022 Official site: https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/stephan-phillips-steps-down-from-board-position Interesting developments. Especially that Bailey says this was on the cards regardless. Does make me wonder if we actively sought investment throughout the season (As was reported here around November). It could well be true that Foulger also showed intent to pull-out, too?! There could be anything going on behind the scenes. And yes, as above, thank you Stephan - I too haven't a clue what you did other than looking grand in an office, I can only respect that in a man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted June 14, 2022 Seems a bit odd. Stepping down to spend more time with the family; just how time-consuming was his role?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I raised an eyebrow at the suggestion this was always going to happen. I remember similar was said when Kensell left and it didn't sound true at all.

PurpleCanary 5,582 Posted June 14, 2022 It doesn't clear the way for a US director, since such could be brought in without anyone leaving, but I would say it is likely that there will be a replacement for Phillips from one side or other of the Atlantic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least he won't be at the AGM with no shares in his own name despite having initially being an Associate Director. Maybe the Americans weren't impressed?

Don't you get tired thinking through this sort of paranoid ****? Not everything is some big conspiracy to hide something. Not everything has double meaning. This is just the retirement of a director. Paperwork needs to be filed, that takes time, it's not that big of a deal. Go out, enjoy the sunshine. Try not to overthink things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, especially with vacancies if you consider a typical set up when it comes to some roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very insightful Purple. One side of the other is a given I would think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
