Not going to be a paid employee though so seems low risk to me if it doesn’t work out. I will bet my overdraft on him being paid. I feel like that’s a bit of a certainty but as a full time member on the payroll or in a consultancy type set up where he gets paid on an occasional basis, is really the question.

What I mean is non-exec directors are not usually paid employees but do often get paid a fee. It might be a little or a lot, I don’t know, but I meant low risk because I assume it’s easier to depart with a non-exec director than a fully paid and contracted employee. I stand to be corrected though.

This seems like absolutely crazy timing. Employing one of Joey's mates right in the middle of his trial for assault?? Jesus wept. Alleged assault

Special Forces?. If he has worked with U.S. Seal teams. He may be able to teach our players how to control the ball on their noses. A unique skill. If you can balance a ball on your nose then surely you can pretty much walk the ball into the net. Just a thought

The real question has to be, why would a guy with his CV join a dysfunctional, relegated, L2 football club. What has he to gain?
Thats the question

Thats the question Why do the majority of people go into anything, could be money, and hopefully at his level to make a real difference for the better. With his CV, looks promising and we definitely need more leadership at the top. So in other words why not.

Or your just seeing the negative in everything, if Wael only has his mates on the board that's wrong, if recruits non-mates they must only be doing it for the money!

We've gone from garnerball to military disciplines in the space of months.... Quite some u-turn.... And that's the worrying bit for me, it feels like we are just rolling the dice all the time. Recently we keep landing on 1, maybe this time it will be a 6? Who knows?! He's coming across as somebody easily convinced, first he fell for Hammer's chat, then Garnerball, followed by Starnes convincing him Tisdale was the man for the job, now it's Barton's scouse connections, just a pity he didn't seem to get on with GC!

There's no doubting he seems a decent bloke who is well liked but he has also been very poor at decision making. His biggest mistake was ultimately probably buying us in the first place. From that point of view we have to be grateful as we would certainly have done a lot worse. Once we he rolls the dice and lands on a 6 we could be rocking hopefully.

It's a really great discussion - I'm sure you'll get lots from ChrisFor those that like a listen Cheers UTG

The real question has to be, why would a guy with his CV join a dysfunctional, relegated, L2 football club. What has he to gain? Thats the question I hate the way so many of our own fans put us down as being such a bad option. And I really fail to see why. Yes we've not been without our fair share of issues at the club over the years, and yes we just got relegated in a bad way, but there are plenty of reasons to look to the future positively. In fact the irony of this negative post is that one of the key reasons for us being a "dysfunctional, relegated L2 football club" is a lack of a guy with his skillset on the board. Why would he not want to come here? It's a challenge, but one with big potential if he does his job well.

The assault is alleged and has been charged. So now he is on trial to answer that charge. He is on trial for assault.

Why would he not want to come here? It's a challenge, but one with big potential if he does his job well. Reality bites I feel. What most responses, including yours, appear to suggest is some form of philanthropic motivation. The guy in question has, according to records transposed on to this forum, built quite a reputation and appropriate income that goes with that (I presume). With that in mind, what possible reputational gain would he obtain by becoming a non exec of the organisation I described? Thats what makes me suspicious of what is going on. In terms of your broader critique of my description of the club, let me just respond by saying that in my experience, to change things, one has to recognise and accept the faults in order to affect the desired change. For example you say the club has plenty of reasons to look to the future positively, but fail to name one, let alone provide the evidence. That sort of blind faith has only one outcome.
