Utter drivel most people have literally no control over their pension By having a Pension you have invested in the very system that the Consortium Operates in - and you want a decent return for your Pension - so you do the exact same thing as any Money Men as you call them - stop deflecting away from your failed arguement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said of Gary Caldwell being appointed, that wasn’t just down to jlows decision or preference, that was also down to our own BOD at that time , so even though we’re all looking for scapegoats because of the position we’re in , think there is a lot more people that just jlow culpable.

He can make decisions regards the day to day running of the Club - however all decisions concerning finances - employees - budgets - communications are signed off by the Board of Directors - Gerry B is an employee as CEO - he carries out the wishes of the Board - not sure what part of employee relationship is confusing ? Whilst being "the face" he would not have decided the handling of Dools Departure or the decision - we had a Highly experienced Comms Expert as Chairman and a full time Comms Manager with Years of experience in PR - and your attempting to put this at Gerry B Door - a lot of rewriting of History going on - cant think why ? Also with regards to the appointment of Caldwell - again nothing to do with Gerry B - I agree that it was a Board Decision- but our Chairmans "Blown Away" statement was very supportive of his appointment But as Ive said its all History - and we are discussing someone who no longer has any connection with the Club - beyond a Director of a Company who owns shares All decisions are made by our current Board of Directors exclusively - my only concern is the prioritization at the first Board Meeting regards the Position of Hospitality Manager - who for all intents and purposes seemed to be doing a good job - but Im sure the Board after reasoned discussion - took the decision they thought correct for the Club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
