(And “their” and “there”.) It would help more if he understood that if amalgamated with the Exec, the Trust board would technically cease to exist as a Trust board. This is why I've now asked him twice what constitution changes he plans to define the role of this amalgamated board and how it's going to work. All you get is evasive bullshit for an answer. He's given this as much thought as people would give to a sneeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Correction my resolution was to remove Stuart Brown as Chairman NOT the whole Board. The problem is the whole Board is more or less saying that if Stuart Brown goes they will all walk, go to the Club Website, you can read the personal message from Commercial Director Colin Rowley about the removing Stuart Brown. Regarding the group waiting in the wings to replace the Board, their is no group. In the event of Stuart Brown being removed it would be up to the owners of the Club to find replacements. I`m quite sure they have contingency plans in place should this happen. So it’s fucking nuts in that case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those "some of the people in positions of power" do go, I'll give whatever people you want to take over, two seasons max to blow all the financial progress away and end up getting booted out for it. Thought about how you're going to sell an amalgamated board to the membership yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Blackwell Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 FFS - you have put forward a motion to replace the Chairman with no one lined up to replace him. But you are sure that there is a “contingency plan”. Has any credible individual actually offered to take on the role? This is Stirling Albion we’re talking about. It is a pretty thankless task. My sympathy to Stuart Brown, and his Board, if this is what he has to contend with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sympathy to Stuart Brown, and his Board, if this is what he has to contend with. To be honest I don't know why Stuart, Colin and the rest have put up with it. It's been a non stop social media campaign of smear and innuendo for 5 years or more. I'd have given them two fingers and walked years ago. In fact I'm thinking of giving a two fingered farewell as a supporter when this is over whatever happens. I've followed the Albion 61 of my 68 years but I don't want to be in a club with these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
