Anyone heard anything regarding new board members ?? Or is it a case of checking out the Directors Box later?

I'm amazed that the OS has been updated to remove Alex Rowe & the Boyces !

I very much doubt that Alex Rowe and the Boyce brothers left for others to come in.

It's a pity they can't be as efficient in updating the player profiles......

Makes me wonder if the split was less than amicable.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahajajajajajahahahahahahahahahaha absolutely brilliant.

"The OS is shit, it's never updated and takes ages to get simple things right. I hate the OS and the club, they're such amateurs"

"The OS has been updated quickly and efficiently. I hate the OS and the club, they must be lying to us".

Maybe, just maybe, and I know this is a wild, crazy idea, perhaps the OS has just... Been updated in a timely and accurate fashion?

No, of course, you're right, it can't be that. Much more likely it's The Illuminati or the Freemasons sending a coded message to the mothership to create more crop circles...

There really is absolutely no pleasing some people.

Matt.

In a pre-match interview on Radio Devon, Bill Phillips said there had been no fall out within the Board and the three had not stepped down as a result of a decision made whilst Alex Rowe was on holiday. So there you have it ...... And it seems that Mr Phillips has taken on Alex Rowe's job of spokesman for the Board.

That will go down well with some...

Well he would say that wouldn't he. Can't believe we have even let this idiot Phillips in with absolutely no investment what so ever. Now it appears he's the spokesman for the club!

So even if the greatest football businessman in the world came along we wouldn't want him on the board unless he invested a significant amount of money? There is more to running a football club (or any business) than just investing cash.
Maybe, just maybe Phillips is on the board because Thea (the one with the money) wants him there.

Now that did make me laugh. Bill Phillips the football guru HAHAHAHA !!!!!

I wasn't suggesting that Phillips is a football business guru!

As an exile I'm not up to speed with comings and goings behind the scenes as the club. Besides being a non-shareholding board member what is it that Bill Phillips has done that makes people hate him so much?

This is part of the issue. There are plenty who claim to know things that mean we should want Phillips out of our football club (and i am perfectly willing to believe them), however none of them seem willing to actually say what any of these things are. Until then there are plenty of people like me who, whilst not blindly believing everything the Board say, have no actual evidence against people like phillips and we have to sit on the fence not really knowing what to think!

If people want him out, maybe they should give some examples about his incompetence? If more people know, and subsequently want him out, supporter pressure may actually get him out!
