He also states that Martin King will not be on the board...
I read that, that he is confirming he will not be on the Swindon board. |

I have a feeling in my waters that says Jed will stay on as Chairman of Banbury till the end of the season while he fronts the Swindon consortium and in the short term employs somebody else to be Chairman in the meantime for the transition period.
Somebody the fans know and like, somebody very much like JW who the fans trust and that can ease the passage of the new owners into the club.
Probably unlikely but this is what I would do in this situation.

I dont think he is the main man to decide who becomes chair, it now seems like maybe there are 2 more consortium members to be revealed if Martin is not one of them ? |

He just said he won't be on the board, not that he isn't part of the consortium. I think he released the information so that the Banbury fans didn't think they were being abandoned. |

But if he is not part of the board and he does not appear to have a greal deal of funds what us his involvment in the consortium if at all you have to wonder ? |

Not sure if it has been covered already, but I read somewhere Jed was someone who brought the consortium together and 'fronted it', whether that means he's just the spokesperson or actually involved I guess we won't know until the FL ratify it....get a move on FL! |

One thing that King does have is experience at a football league club as a member of a board which could be just as valuable, perhaps he is there as a consultant to just hold their hand a bit in the early days.

About time too. Are they making them go all the way to Preston just to prove they're serious? |

So the meeting started at 1.30? I Hope it doesn't have to be put into 2 parts, otherwise it will drag into Friday more than likely.

I read that the meeting could only be on Weds or Friday. Maybe Thursday is a day off for the FL. |
