the incoming investment???

if its not a done deal  then why the reluctance to put it to the vote  whether its to be a  yes or no could it be that a dictate from board room level fears the  result of such a vote  being a no to these proposals and  and with that in mind have already decided there wont be such a vote..no amount of damage limitations  will remove such suspicions

It's funny you mention the Boardroom.
I was pondering earlier how very little many of us know about most of the Board. One or two are visible, but so little is ever shared about which Directors do what, and why.
It's like in the rich benefactor days – a few other Directors used to pitch up at the AGM, but rarely uttered a word whilst the usual two or three ran the whole thing. Time and again.
Maybe AGMs etc are different now, as I haven't been since pre-covid days.
I wonder whether two or three have led this decision, or whether the whole Board were actively engaged in the negotiations in one way or another.

There were five of the board at the game today, all of whom had various jobs/roles. I believe there will be around the same number there tomorrow. Each of the board has at least one specialist role and devote significant time to the club every week. If you want to understand more detail (perhaps you may want to volunteer your time and stand at the AGM), let me know and I’d happy meet up at a game and give you more detail on some of the roles and responsibilities

Hi wm- interesting you challenge the anonymity of Directors when you choose not to use a full name on a public forum.

I’m a current director and have been since 2015. I’m also the club secretary and men’s matchday secretary. Hard to put a figure on it but I probably volunteer about 10-15 hours every week to the club. I enjoy doing it and in my opinion, it’s par for the course when you sign up as a Director so I don’t like to make a public spectacle.
I’m at every match so please come find me any time, I’d love to talk to you about this issue and get your feedback in person as that is valued. Given some of your comments here are potentially libellous, it would be good to talk those through too

Honestly, I'm not an idiot.  i can read the website and see the Directors' photos and names – I haven't challenged anonymity, but I was commenting that roles and what everyone does is largely unclear.  Actually, your role is clear, but I'm sure lots of people are interested to know the approx time commitment involved with being a director now you've made that clearer thanks.  What isn't clear is how any of the thoughts I've shared are "potentially libellous" – can you explain please?  That isn't my intention, this is a small non-league football message-board and certainly isn't a place for big rows.

But if there's anything you can add on the issue – which directors do what – I'm sure others will be just as interested as I am, so there's no need for that info to be restricted to a two-person chat.  (Plus I work on Saturdays at the moment, so getting to games is awkward.)

stuart the investment idea is clearly an emotive subject..and despite my misgivings on the subject i understand you have been getting abusive text messages this is clearly unaceptable and i oppose anyone involved in such action

Investment opportunity reminds me of all sorts of offers. Like restructuring e.g redundancies. Privatisation,widening the ownership base. Business re engineering, lower grades.
