Frankie 8,709 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not the biggest surprise in the world; how long till his appointment as CEO? Probably not long At the next fan board meeting, will you be asking why the comments of Sandy Easdale and David Somers have been so strange in that respect? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Probably not long At the next fan board meeting, will you be asking why the comments of Sandy Easdale and David Somers have been so strange in that respect? All the Directors have been asked to attend and I have suggested that Mr Ashley is invited as well; questions will have to be very carefully chosen IMO and there is a lot of water to flow under the bridge between now and then. Those comments will have to been in the light of subsequent events. I would suggest that provided there is no suggestion of impropriety, it would be more pertinent to ask about his plans for the future than how he got the job (assumimg he gets it), which is fairly obvious. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Has AJ not bagged that one? You might well think so, but I couldn't possibly say any more than his arrival seems like an interesting coincidence. However, perhaps it's just a long weekend to see us at Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt questions RE: Llambias' plans are high(est) priority. However, there is also no doubt fans in your position should be questioning the executive chairman (temporary or otherwise) of the board why directors seem to have such a low regard for fan intelligence. Or why he finds the whole situation as funny as he does. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don't agree with that, and I wouldn't be putting any money on Forlanssister playing by those rules, although it is more likely than the chances of Ashley attending. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your suggestion but cannot agree with it. It is a bad precedent to set for the fansboard and harks of a timid approach that doesn't look for responsibility or accountability but is prepared to listen about future plans. What I am saying is until X can trust Y then listening to Y talk of future is of limited value. At the same time I wouldn't expect the Spanish inquisition. I would expect carefully formed questions that look to hold the board accountable and search for answers to make up for the void of information the ordinary supporter has to suffer. In short, a willingness to engage meaningfully, the support have had enough of what will happen and often never does. We need reasonable transparency and if the fansboard don't even want to look for it, then it will be laughed out of court. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
