Agree with that stance Meadow 👍

Keep pushing and eventually all but extraordinary decisions will be decided by a simple majority. Club and ground ownership should be two thirds or 75% but everything else should be lower.

That’s not the attitude Timmy! You vote and you vote good. The more the DTB try and block and twist things the more people will see them doing so and things will change. It may take 9 years but if people don’t try then it’ll take administration.

None of the resolutions are going to pass. Waste of everyone’s time and effort

And how hard did he slap her? What a ridiculous thing to put yourself in for in the first place.

Swig, you'll have to wait for the court case 😃

How on earth does slapping help with diabetes? You can fool some of the people etc.

Silk, as Saveloy said it can be overridden with a simple majority vote. We can’t input on the PLC recruiting process so this is the only way I see we can stop it continuing to be a ‘job for the boys’ club.

Not to make light of loss of life - but why on Earth would anyone wish to attend 'slapping therapy'? [Link]

Alternatively as part of continuity/succession planning they could get approval from members beforehand on who will step into senior positions in an emergency, or if those duties can be picked up elsewhere.

How about if the DT had to ratify via a vote within 3 (4?, 6?) months in such a case? You could deal with emergencies and the person would have time to start demonstrating their capabilities.

It doesn't strike me at all that it's about needing (or even wanting) a vote. It's a check and balance on decision making in an environment in which personality and cliques seem to weigh heavily on choices made, at points in time when there are real conflicts of interest. I don't know that it's the perfect solution, but I do believe that the right candidate would still get the job and that the transparency would help ensure that they are in fact the right candidate.

Saveloy - why do we need a vote? Either someone is qualified for the job or they are not. What valid input could your average DT member have as to whether someone would be a good Managing Director.

Silk - does this wording not deal with that concern: "However, in exceptional cases, this waiting period can be overridden by a simple majority vote of the DT membership".

TSO - one of your resolutions I do not agree with is the six months between someone being on the DTB and someone being given a paid position at the club. That seems self-defeating if someone capable is found on the DTB. I understand why you have raised it . The issue was that Kris Stewart has been given a paid role he neither has the experience for or the qualifications for. I did not agree with that but I do not want a blocker on a potential good employee for the club.

I want to vote on these, need to submit proxy votes though, have asked for advice on this on PB for clarity and the deadline. Hopefully others will be inclined to do so also.

Good work, Matt.

I’ve put the motions up on Proboards. As members can vote in advance please feel free to post any questions on there.

Cost me £12.50 to call them c***s before they almost ran me down Spit.

Ah, unilateral disarmament. Leftards.
