Re: Which directors chose our new manager?

I thought I asked a legitimate question. The reason I was interested was I worked at Board level for 20 years and I was curious with a large Board how many Directors were closely involved in the appointment. My question had nothing to do with holding Directors accountable. If you look at another of ...

Which directors chose our new manager?

Simon Baker our Chairman obviously played the pivotal role in selecting Martin Ling.
Does anyone have a clue as to which other Directors were involved in the interviews and the decision making process?

Re: Martin Ling

The Board have made a surprising appointment. Only time will tell if they got it right. In my time I interviewed many people and some do interview well. You only find out 6 months later if you made the right decision. Martin Ling had a long playing career 564 games in 17 years. He managed LO for 280...

Re: Welcome the new Gaffer

Well what a complete surprise!! We have just got to trust the Board. Remember they, or more likely a small group of Directors had the benefit of interviewing the candidates. I think the Board have gone for a Manager with good experience at the Orient. Cambridge in my view was a poisoned challice aft...

Re: The Shortlist

Spoke to a friend in Edinburgh who knows a lot about Scottish football John Hughes is a hard worker but not exactly charismatic and not an articulate man I think the Board would be taking a gamble on a Scottish Manager.

Re: the cost of Mr Lee leaving

In the published Accounts the only figure directly referring to Mr Lee is £101,547 asCompensation for loss of Directorship. Depreciation was £96,544.This still left a loss of circa £483,000 in addition. Alot of questions need asking at the AGM.
