"be on expenses"

Nobody's Biggles, you only need the chairman to take executive control when things are going seriously wrong (well maybe we do) but we need a CEO at board level. That might mean paying them a bit more than we'd pay an MD who reports to the board. If Woodroof is good enough put him on the Board where he will have greater influence. If he isn't, then sadly, find someone who is. Our plc board members should ideally beon epenses and nothing more.

Whose money should we spend to pay a full-time, experienced, PLC chairman?

So from the OS statement the candidates also mentioned the job cannot be done on a part-time basis. So hopefully that means the club will look for full time roles.

Glad you added those final 3 words to that post, Egg… 👀😯

Sad about Mike Peters, he was a top bloke,I worked with a girl from Rhyl who knew him and would always bang on about it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙏

Why did it take that effort to discover you can't do the 'top job' on one or two days per week?

I’m less worried that we paid for the assistance of a recruiter, and more concerned that, having paid for their services, we ignored their advice on time commitment / remuneration.

National league cup final tonight at Gander Green lane Sutton v Leeds..get you photo with the premier league trophy 🏆

Whether or not it was a waste of money is one thing, but using the existence of that debate as a potential reason not to invest in other, completely different, bits of the Trust/Club infrastructure seems problematic to me.

Yes but is it the sort of investment an organisation like ours, with £1m+ operating losses, should embark on

I think that opinions will be divided on the merits of the process to replace MB with MB. It is of course possible that we might have encountered someone who we didn’t know, who was super-capable and willing to take on a very stressful job for little or no money, that was the gamble in paying out to run a process to sift through the 100+ people who did apply and then reject them all. In retrospect, it was a waste of money but whether that could /should have been predicted beforehand is a matter of judgment.

Red Kite-looking at the 3 clubs goal difference will tell you Burton are safe even if they lose tonight and their last game barring a 12 or 14 goal swing which is obviously very doubtful.

It wasn't obvious when the process started. Who knows who it could have uncovered who was prepared to help run our crazy little club for very little reward?

I wonder if the FA have apologised to the girl who was banned from football for asking the ref - 'Is that a man?' with regard an opposition player with a beard who claimed to be Trans? It was a shameful act by the FA and following the Supreme Court ruling, they should now publicly apologise.

No one is moaning about the money spent in the recent executive search, we are moaninhb because it was obvious from day 1 it would be Buckley. So discounted or not, it was a waste of money.

Spartan, and sadly a knife murder in mitcham last night [Link]

Duffy won't be happy, there has been an explosion near Warwick Avenue 🤪. Another electrical sub-station.

Meadow - gutted not to have seen them :(

I see a4e beat me to it.

RIP Mike Peters. I loved The Alarm back in the day and saw them live three times.

RIP Mike Peters of The Alarm 😢 68 Guns is one of the best post punk anthems 👏

TBK - thanks for that little insight into the workings of the DTB. Next step must be to co-opt Harry Potter

Full-rune may be magic we need but I meant full-time!
