I had it on good authority that Starnes was the main linkman with Sturrock within the Board. He fell out of favour somewhat when Bowden appeared and was a little marginalised - as anyone who attended the Fans Forum back in Feb would pay testament too, a very public actions speak louder than words night in terms of the Board inner relationships.
Never struck me as Cheif Exec material to be honest, but also never struck me as being a puposefully nasty as others in the set-up.

May have been an over reaction, i'm prone to them.  I'm not trying to get anyones back up, just trying to illustrate how far fetced some of this speculation feels to me. The point is that he doesn't know and that statement is absurd based on what we know. There's just too many holes being filled in. The way some of this factual guessing is going, MD seems like a fictional baddie conceived as part of the Marvel Comics empire. He is worse than that barry . He is to swindon town what shipman was to a old peoples homefucking good analogy. |

Umm no I do actually know how it was run there, now let me think...CEO (or acting) has control of the company and is able to make decisions...who run's STFC ? |

Starnes has just turned up at Yeovil.... As posted by Maverick this morning! Well done Mav, any predictions on the takeover? That posting was not a prediction ..... so it was kind of easy! The takeover would have to be a prediction ... and as such I predict it goes through ... the Wills cannot afford to lose all the money they have in the club and it is too late (IMO) for them to find another option. Raising extra money would cost them even more and increase the losses they incur. I also think that it will mark the beginning of a cooling between them and MD as they will (IMO) be getting less than they would have done earlier in the year before they were truly in the last chance saloon. With that in mind I would think that the Wills may well retain a small shareholding in the club, both because of the hope that there may be something better later (redevelopment?) and also because I think that SSW at least would find it hard to completely walk away on STFC. |

Cant say it was hard to see he would go to Yeovil, as he still lives in Sherborne and has very strong local ties in Yeovil with the board, Sherborne have always had a good working relationship with the Wurzels as they are only about 5 miles apart.

I also think that it will mark the beginning of a cooling between them and MD as they will (IMO) be getting less than they would have done earlier in the year before they were truly in the last chance saloon. Diamandis is 60 next year. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he went in to retirement of sorts before long. It's conceivable that he has viewed this transaction as a last opportunity to boost his pension fund before clearing off for good. Speculation, I know, but maybe the reason he's been as obstructive as he has. |
