"Our Vice Chairman will act up as Chairman in the interim, to allow the Club to continue to to function normally"

Surely the most farcical statement ever to emerge from the Shielfield boardroom!!

This football club is being taken on a journey to oblivion. It's time the major shareholders added some of our dysfunctional, deluded and devious directors to the list of hoy oots before the sheep are grazing the Shielfield turf.

I’m a member of both and on the committee for the Supporters Club. The SC AGM took place last Tuesday with 3/4 directors in attendance.

There was a pretty decent discussion at the end where people raised some points with directors regarding the season ahead. For example I suggested the budget for the manager should be higher as ‘money in the bank’ is pointless if we go down. I said pretty much what I’ve said on here, that the club need to make itself as attractive as possible for potential investors and new leadership and the rats in a sack behaviour in the boardroom for the last decade plus needed to stop or it’s a total turn off for anyone new.

The committee isn’t at full numbers, so Dougie Watkin put himself forward to come on and was voted on. Absolutely nothing was mentioned about him becoming Vice Chairman at the meeting. Nothing was mentioned about Eric Tait becoming director of football or why we needed one. Nothing was mentioned about the board changing their decision on Tweedmouth Rangers playing on Shielfield. Nothing was mentioned about the stair lift thing (not that I was desperate to find out about it). These decisions as far as I’m aware were made AFTER the SC AGM. They weren’t made by the SC, our representative on the board, or the Trust, whatever we think about these decisions.

But anyway, the SC and Trust don’t make the decisions. The committees of each will have their view and ask their representatives on the board to push for this or whatever, but it’s not their job to justify decisions the board make. The board have made decisions and not run these past the SC, and I doubt they have the Trust either. I suppose it’s open to to debate whether they should or not.

Just to add, when Lenny became chairman he was asked to stand down from the SC committee and he did so. I would expect Dougie Watkin to do the same, if asked. I’m sure he had some idea about what was going to happen with his position on the board before he put himself forward. We’ll see.
 

A decent post BM.

I'd suggest that if the major shareholders are dissatisfied with the performance of the company directors then they should be doing something about it. The following link gives a simple explanation of the role and expectations of a company director. Item 3 seems to be particularly relevant to the board of BRFC.

Eric Tit interviews with Robbie are going to be comedy gold this season. Director of football interviews the Manager. Lol

Director of football interviews manager after games, while employed by Sky. Surely a conflict of interests?
