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. To be honest, thats delusional. Unless you believe in Jesus, or equivalent. Not delusional at all. If you worked at the top of an organisation your primary goal is to see step change improvements and potential rewards that come with that. Not necessarily always financial. Talk to any leader.....

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. 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. Your negativity is self-fulfilling. Bringing this guy on to the board could be seen as a major positive for the future (example as requested), but in your world their must be an ulterior motive as on the outside he looks well qualified. So what ever Rovers do "in your world" is wrong... Do you wonder why some of us lose interest in your thoughts.

I dont find your response to be coherent. On paper he looks like an interesting guy, with some strong experience. So how would a role with the club enhance that CV? Genuine question. Furthermore what is to be his role as a "non exec"? By definition that is not a day to day decision making role? I read elsewhere that he may take up the role of communicating with the fans. How does that align with his CV? So, you can read into the void of the lack of a proper role description what you like. But it still does not answer why he would do this (perhaps "yet").

No Hugo is correct. He is on trial for assault. The assault is alleged and has been charged. So now he is on trial to answer that charge. He is on trial for assault. Charged with is not the same as convicted of - the court will decide that and until then surely is innocent ?

A role at the club will enhance his CV if he leaves it in a better state than he found it. Many of the issues with the club, which you yourself are highlighting, are things he has the potential to play a key role in improving. Therefore joining the club could be a massive step in his career, and is a great opportunity. If he does a good job.

He’d do it because he can see the potential. If he succeeds then great kudos. If he doesn’t then it’s no worse than many predicted. Either way he gets paid so it’s a win win for him. UTG!

Charged with is not the same as convicted of - the court will decide that and until then surely is innocent ? I haven't said it is the same and I haven't said he isn't innocent until proven guilty. Hugo said he is on trial for assault. You corrected him, it appeared, to say on trial for alleged assault. The allegation is implied because he is on trial. But he is on trial for assault. The assault is the issue being tried.

Non execs don’t do a lot other than provide insight. He can’t actually do any work for the club.

" His role as an independent, non-executive Director will see added transparency at the Board level, with Chris taking on a liaison role with various Supporter's groups ensuring fans voices can be heard at the top level." If he comes on here and calls me a knob hes f**king history. Why would anybody call you a Knob Hugo, you are one of the nicest people on here
