Bah, I said noooo.
It's the old conundrum though every man asks himself at one point, rusty razor blade in hand. Willie or no Willie?
At least with a Willie we get some press attention. Most of it's alright and opposed to nothing at all I can't see any point in replacing him for the sake of it. So why the No vote?
I’m a firm believer that a Chairman should be the man that holds the cards or at the very least the right hand man of the man who holds the cards. Unfortunately I’d guess
that would be Diamandis in this case which is a different kettle of fish altogether.
I’d much rather have the man with the plan up front, not necessarily handling the media side of things but there should definitely be a visible presence.
honestly, the only press I can remember in recent years is us getting a mention on the racing 'cos he also happens to be our chairman, or him telling everyone what how pissed off he is at having half a mill tied up in a sinking ship.
I know it's an unpaid role but even having his name as anything but a shareholer is taking the piss....out of us!
no doubt after a whole lifetime of "investing" my time and energy into supporting the team, paying for tickets and shirts and travelling home and away etc to back the club, I might just have achieved the magnificent feat, of equalling Willy's £500k investment. Perhaps I should be chairman when that happens, after all I'll have worked a lot harder for the club than he has.
Sorry I cocked that up I voted Yes not No. Post ammended
I mean it's not great but Willie does get a bit of press every now and again. Arguably he could nail his colours to the mast in the press a lot more than he does but having read one or two quotes I'd have to question if that's a good idea!
Plus there's what his selling points was originally when the board took over, 'his millionaire racing contacts' to attract investment.
Funnily enough reading an old WDP piece I wonder if Carson, Holt and Diamandis were true to their word and invested to the tune of a million between them when they took over.
Then again it was the WDP!
