Wembley_Canary 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Munby and Doncaster stepping down could mean one of two things, it could just be a decision that was made for cost cutting purposes, their wages alone will probably save the club 200k a year. Or it could mean that a potential takeover is just around the corner? Of course I hope it is the latter but can''t help but think that this is just part of Delia and Co''s restructure plan to help balance the books for League 1. What do you think?.....

Blofield Canary 11 Posted May 12, 2009 Certainly not cost saving. Mumby didn''t take a salary except £25k a year to cover his time. Despite many opinions on here Doncaster was not highly paid for a CEO and it will cost just as much to replace him. The skill will be getting better value for the same money.

Barry Brockes 145 Posted May 12, 2009 I wonder how we''ll all feel if it transpires later that Mumbles and Doomy have been martryed for standing up to Delia over her insistence that Gunn gets the Manager''s job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could take the role of Chairman with one of their own men as Chief Executive. Didn''t someone say that he''d want one of his men in control and also wouldn''t let the club total crash and burn?

singing canary 0 Posted May 12, 2009 make sense mat , then delia could step aside to carry on with her catering interests ,i should imagine it was a fairly hefty pay off as well . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted May 12, 2009 It is also intimated in the statement that there will be "further changes to the board". there are only 3 members left so it sounds hopeful that Smith and Jones could be on their way out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted May 12, 2009 It could be that investment/buyers have agreed to splash the cash based on certain criteria (i.e the removal of the current chairman/CEO). Probably not likely to be the case but I can still hope. It could just be a case of Delia trying to bring the fans onside by dealing the last card she has left - Doncaster/Mumby sacked, blamed for all our problems and used as scapegoats. It could also be a cost cutting exercise. Afterall it''ll save us approx £200k a year for a start, although replacements are still needed so some/most of that will disappear again.

Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I don''t buy the clear the decks theory, why not just do it when the new investor comes in? I wouldn''t be surprised if there was a fresh cash injection, can''t see it being on the scale hoped for though. I think it''s rationale comes down to two things; 1. The board needed an overhaul and those were the only two in a position to be binned; and, 2. Delia is hoping to avoid flak by taking action but staying herself.Either way should be a good thing I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
