Garscube Road End Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) So. Are we to believe that a certain ex football chairman is back at the helm of a sinking ship? Nothing about this stinking takeover would surprise me. Edited November 22, 2019 by Garscube Road End 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the above isn’t a pisstake, maybe it should be. Negativity here knows no bounds. Let’s see how we get on, on the face of it I think a great thing for the club. Needs time.

jaf Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 That’s correct the board have all legal and corporate responsibility Jim. Any decisions made by others without responsibility can still bind them, but all the responsibility for those decisions rest with the board. it’s hard to understand how you could remain on a board with such a set up. Unless you were a little starry eyed, or very naive, or have nothing to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me - we should have more diversity in the board. It still seems to me that the negativity to jacqui is out of proportion. I’d welcome her back and the comments and negativity on here reinforce my views that some of this is old fashioned male chauvinism ie. she’s out of her depth.

Plenty of chairmen appoint bad managers, plenty could be accused of poor communication, plenty oversee poor results which they have very little control over beyond the initial managerial appointment. There's something about Jacqui Low that is considered malign and toxic by many people on this board, that goes beyond what is merely visible to the likes of me. It may not be sexism, it may be something else completely, but there is something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are indeed, but quite frankly to say it is to do with chauvinism is stretching it. I was rather excited when she became chairman, but she proved a PR disaster which is so ironic.
