Chairman

[Flashheart]

Glad to be of help.

It would seem these things do need highlighting at times!

Yep, fair enough. I've always been a bit on the paranoid side. Hopefully it's all a case of 'nothing to see here' and business as usual.

I've always been a bit on the paranoid side.

If you've been around the club since the days of Bobby Barnes, I think that's quite understandable.

42 pages of unfounded. Well done everyone!

I only see 30 pages! Is there something being hidden from me? Is there a conspiracy on the TEF? Have the goalpost changed? Are we not working to the 85% Bollocks 20% Football strategy that was clearly laid out at the beginning of this adventure?

That's the problem with accessing the tef via my mobile.
It is amusing to see all these theories though, someone call Mulder & Sculley!

I'm beginning to think it's all one big conspiracy. Especially as my TEF states 80% Bollocks, 25% Football. If you have more bollocks than me, i wanna know why?!

That's what I meant. I will don the coat and pay you a visit for your disrespect .

Sorry Don, I tend to ignore your posts!

I'm not saying it isn't. But it's not a normal rearrangement of the business, or they'd have done it at the AGM or in the close season as an orderly transition. Not sacking the chairman in the "Statement Monday" farrago we had at the start of the week.

It appears the decision to replace Wray was taken a while back and they waited until the replacement was ready to take over before announcing anything. Nothing to suggest Wray was sacked or that this was a knee jerk reaction to anything.

[@MacPhlea]

How did you come to that conclusion.

There has been nothing, anywhere to suggest anything of the sort. Quite the opposite in fact.

I don't know...

Wray is told to step down - he does so

Wray is asked to stay on the board - he turns it down.

We can all speculate on the reason but ultimately there must be some changes to the dynamics for this to happen and if Wray believed the business plan going forward would only enhance the club and still be aligned with original agenda and wasn't going to put him in an untenable position why would he stand down?

Likewise why would the club come out and publicly state that they were no longer pushing for promotion , they wouldn't because it would publicly destabilise the club so they may well publicly state the agenda hasn't changed  but what happens in reality at be completely different - I guess we will only find out in due course when funds do or don't become available.

Well, 10 days ago. That's not really "a while back". If this had been a normal transition, they'd have done it at the AGM or over the close season

Nothing to suggest Wray was sacked

Erm, there's Wray's statement.

AT THE specific request of the club's majority shareholder, Andrew Black, I have been replaced as Chairman of STFC by Sir William Patey at a meeting of the Board on Friday 12th October.

I don't know what you call that but I call it being sacked.

[Benzel]

Well, Andrew Black tweeted himself that they'd been wanting to change Chairmen since the summer.

Andrew Black ‏@bertthebold
@ceej69 ...I don't want to go into detail here. I decided at the beginning of the year that we needed an experienced chairman.

Even I've done him a dis-service there.

Well I'd prefer to take Andrew Black's word on when the decision was taken, rather than yours. His tweet on Monday;

Andrew Black ‏@bertthebold
@ceej69 I can promise you it wasn't a decision I took lightly - I was upset for weeks. As Jeremy said to me recently...

I'd call that a while back, but feel free to call it whatever you want.

Given blacks intention to replace wray has been a goer for a while. I am surprised black authorised such lavish spending over the summer.  Wasn't there an annoucement not to long ago about some of investors putting a further £2m into the club?
