Bob Holt has quit

[Dazzza]

Good lord this charade has more twists and turns than an episode of everyone’s Sunday favourite 60’s police drama heartbeat.

That leaves just James Wills, the delectable Sandy and Willie left on the board.  As an interesting point of note both Mark Devlin and Bill Power are listed as club directors on the official site, I certainly don’t remember that happening.  

As the official site hints at it inevitably looks like the interview on the Beeb last night pulled the trigger.  I doubt we’ll ever really know, but I wonder if it was truly a ‘it’s him or me’ ultimatum’ from the gaffer that led to the director jumping before being pushed.  The only other possibility could be a clearing of the decks to make room for new blood possibly the investors James Will has been talking to.

Come the end of it I do feel a bit sorry for old Bob.  He’s clearly been used as a mouthpiece and not really been clued up on what’s been said previously, sometimes by himself and fallen foul as a result.  I don’t think he’s a bad old chap just one from the old school that shouldn’t have been put in the position in the first place.  

Finally, he was at one point listed as a director on the holding company so I’m curious if  he’ll be resigning from there as well or will he still be in line for a piece of cake.

I remember Devlin being appointed as a non-exec director when he came back, but not Power.

As to the letter, it was written AFTER the infamous interview and was basically his resignation. But, you usually don't write an open letter as a resignation so I'm just wondering what it said.

Could he have had a go in it?? Or was it just an apology. We need to know.

I might do that, well actually I probably won't because I'm lazy.

Despite everything, I'd have to agree. The un-Wise comments may have been the trigger, but this smacks of throwing someone to the wolves to take the heat off. FWIW, I will quite miss Bob - at least when he turned up you knew there really was trouble, like a cross between Kate Adie and the 5th horseman. How are we going to tell now?

You'll know it's really bad when Willie Carson shows up for a board meeting. Haha ... I jest.

Wise will be chairman soon at this rate

Actually, Martyn Starnes, the accounts guy seems to be getting lummoxed with all the "Jobs that have suddenly fallen vacant because we've sacked them". He must have one hell of a CV now.

Have we seen the last of Bill Power I wonder?

[STFC Bart]

I sincerely hope not

[Samdy Gray]

Have we seen the last of Bill Power I wonder?

Yes. Power allegedly won't work with Diamandis. End of.
