We need a CEO who is on the board not an exec chair or exec vice chair. If Woodruff is good enough give it to him, if not, get someone else. I agree with Aideen, I'm done. Sell out.

Looking at the statement I think that the key is the first bullet point which basically (translated out of corporate speak) says “the role is too much work for too little money and therefore none of the applicants were any good”

You couldn’t make it up! Absolutely farcical

Why ?? What a complete farce, where did we actually look for someone to replace him or didn’t we bother

Does sort of explain the ridiculous delay in the announcement- those involved must have known exactly what the reception was going to be

Hopefully tonight we'll get a plan to fund the club next season starting with enough money sign a decent squad . Preferably a new manager as well. Oh maybe Buckley could take over the role temporarily!

Amazing. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to the 'jobs for the boys' section of John Green's docu-series on fans ownership.

As someone who went to most of our games home and away during the 9 years of non-league football, I don't mind being back there. But doubt we could afford or stay at plough lane.

I expect a sequence to end on Saturday. In the AFCW era, home and away results against Grimsby have been mirror images of each other. When we won 2-1 at home in the Conference we lost 2-1 away. We then had a 1-0 home win and 1-0 away defeat. Also, a 0-0 home and away. This season we lost 1-0 at home so for the sequence to continue we need to win 1-0 on Saturday. It ain't happening.

I sort of don’t really care who Chairs the board- anyone who is an outsider and was willing to take the job for the money on offer won’t be any good (ie you get “better value” by giving it to a fan and I don’t really have any problems with MB holding the role) but if this was always going to be a case of MB being the only person who could possibly replace himself it’s not clear why we spent the time and incurred the costs just to give the pretence of a proper process. Clear that there is never going to be any space for fresh thinking or outsiders in the governance of the club or the DTB, we will just continue to drift pleasantly downstream until we go over the waterfall of administration.

Wonder how much money was wasted on this process too.

After an exhaustive worldwide search of football, I have whittled down the shortlist to be AFCW chair to one.

It is a massively under paid position for a volunteer, Keefy.

The King is dead, long live the King!

Go to the SGM and see all the fucking idiots that are holding the club back.

Farcical, Predictable and a nail in the coffin for me.

Trust in the Trust.

**edit** 8 billion. My, there's been some procreation over the last decade!

7 billion people in the world. But only one man for the job!

Mick Buckley is replaced by Mick Buckley.

you couldnt make it up!!!

It's a long way down, chaps.

Yes. If Colchester win, we win (which is unlikely), Salford lose and Chesterfield lose they would creep in. They just can't finish above us. So five teams chasing two play off spots. If I was a betting man I reckon Doncaster will win the division, Port Vale 2nd, Bradford 3rd, Walsall 4th, Notts County 5th, Salford 6th, Grimsby 7th, Chesterfield 8th, us 9th and Colchester 10th.

My money is on Kris Stewart for the new chair.
