Bet HonestBob will make the Kris the Waddlin' Komrad favourite of those three.

WBM - You may have hit the nail on the head. Finding hard to imagine the appointee isn't coming from Mick, Michele or Kris.

OTD, Richard use to sell programs at OPL, top fella.still leading the drinkers away travel 😂 Shame Gavin and Sharon gave up supporting wimbledon after the Terry Eames Sacking. They are now enjoying life in Aviemore.

Unpaid chair is either super short sighted or a cynical ploy to control who sits in the seat.....

They seem to be using a professional recruitment company who I believe normally charge a percentage of the salary so if that is zero. I'm sorry but I can't see anyone doing the job for nothing

MB will blitz any interview process by using up the full hour listing his achievements to date in the role.

Chair of many companies is often also a non-executive director? It's a conundrum as really it'd be great if NEDs were totally independent, and I think people like Iain McNay were often 'too close' to the club, but a fan is probably what you'll get.

Joking aside, there's a serious point to this. Our ambition is to be a Championship club via a £7m playing budget, and this is being overseen by semi-retired amateur hobbyists in their lunch break.

I have a working cocker spaniel who could do one day a week. She is a hard worker and would also be happy to chase the pigeons off the pitch!

Scotty - I thought I had done, but obviously didn't post it in the end. I think there is a high likelihood it will be Mick or Michele. Either of which would be a ridiculous outcome. Would love to know how the role has been advertised beyond sticking it on the club website.

Nobody seems to have suggested an obvious candidate; Michele. She could combine one day a week as Chair alongside her Vice Chair/Finance Group Lead/plc and DTB Treasurer roles.

KD - "paying peanuts and getting buckleys" LMAO!!

Isn't the general strategy with having senior folk as part-timers just a ruse to pay them one day for a week's work?

Any news on the laying of turf at NPL today…?

Who would want to be the unpaid chair of AFC Wimbledon with 27 bullet points of key responsibilities?

Ok answering some of my own questions, based on the original Michele announcement [Link] Next Chair will be an unpaid role. Vice Chair is paid (Michele not accepting that payment). Michele's position is to December 2025. It doesn't say full time, but it does say the vice chair will act as 'day to day line manager of the Club's managing director' so it sounds to me like it's reasonably hands-on and therefore probably more than a-day-a-week. Michele has stepped down as DTB member but is still DT treasurer.

As for the exec chair, we still haven't learned that paying peanuts and getting buckleys is a false economy.

Little wants power, not money. She's pulled Erik Samuelson's guinea per year trick.

That is GF - and that is Richard Fraser in front of him

Will be interesting in the accounts to see if she really isn't accepting any salary.

I think we are definitely looking for someone who expects payment and if it isn't Buckley then someone expensive. I will never be convinced that a conpany that isn't in crisis (well maybe we qualify as in crisis) or controlled by one powerful individual should have an Executive Chairman in charge. A CEO/MD on the Board is the way to go.

I count 27 bullet points listed under 'Key Responsibilities' for the supposedly one day per week Executive Chair job spec.

It does look like Gavin Fotheringham too

OTD - it was 7th November & not October in 1987 when we beat Southampton 2-0. Also the picture shown is from the following season when we beat Southampton 2-1 on 3rd of December 1988 & the fan down in the bottom left (Gavin Fotheringham?) is wearing a Cup Final replica shirt.

I hope we get an independent and effective new chair, but we all know that’s not how our club is currently functioning.
