And us supporters are often stuck with whatever board we're presented with

The way it's structured really only allows for a takeover by a group or an agreed change over (or suchlike)  Individuals haven't really got much of a hope unless they're connected in some way.  As previously stated,  1 or 2 stand down every now and again replaced by other like-minded types (IMO)

The merger time brought a change with Gutnick/Dixon etc but that was special circumstances driven.

The Stynes ticket was another but that had it's problems as well

Others might know of other instances but I should make mention again that individually,  the Board members often will have terrific non-football credentials.  That's what makes it so difficult to judge because from a financial point of view,  we're not badly placed right now or at other times in the past

But the supporters just want to win and win big.  Most don't really care about the financials

I do but I want to see the club do exceptionally well in all areas

Why do you think Green is on the board?

There was a group of ex players and other members rumbling about being unhappy. Green was one of them.

The two groups got together, and a represntative from the outside group was brought into the fold.

Much better then a winner takes all board spill election that will be completely emotive: how could the members really know who would be a better director?

I reckon it's a time thing Deanox rather than Green himself.  He may not be all that suitable but then again he might be ideal

And they all need to work together

But over a 5-15 year period we might have any number of board members with real football nous serve on the board

Then we might be able to make a judgement

Not really an immediate solution but these things take time.  But we do need to see a swing away from those who aren't blessed with an abundance of football nous

Not in totality but a nice mix
