Jim Smith 2,325 Posted July 2, 2009 On the face of it we have appointed to the board 2 people who do not apear to bring substantial wealth to the party and who will presumably now not be able to be critical of the club in the same way as they (or in the case of archant their organisation) were previously. On the face of it Delia and MWJ seem to have decided to keep their enemies close and try and ride this one out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Walking Man 13 Posted July 2, 2009 I''m underwhelemed with Phillips, but I expected McNally and I think that Alan Bowkett is by far the best chairman we could have got realistically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puzzy magnet 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Another couple of yes men to keep Delia happy. L2 within 5 years. Board members need to put money in. The rest is just wallpaper. These two are a total waste of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

league1canary 0 Posted July 2, 2009 m dissapointed but will push on supporting the club... buying the merch and and my season ticket just like most other fans and hopefully they will be successfull in there quest to get us back into the championship.... maybe...Dissapointed that the MD of archant has been given a place... what exactly is all that about?? what is he bringing that the other two dont all ready? Apart from the local press scared to dish any dirt or break a news story (whic in fairness is no different to how it is now). Any one no if they are putting money in like the turners did? 1 mill each wasnt it for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Board members of any other company are there to ensure that the company is run as successfully as possible and returns a profit. When they do put moeny in, it is generally in the form of a loan, the Turner''s did it, I believe Delia and MWJ have done it and even Roman Abramovich has done it. Short term gain but in the end you end up more heavily in debt if you are unsucessful and not profitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
