Wait ITV news are reporting it's Cotterill?

[Ihearye]

Well that was a thorough selection process

Looks like betting odds have been suspended hopefully means we are close to an announcement.

Should we be checking flight tracking apps for flights from California? Looking at notice period clauses from Sainsbury's? Or is the smell of dog s#!t in the air as Monty returns to Seasons?

....................Brady's interview (shown above elsewhere on here) was really 'modern' somehow; an analytical but pragmatic approach which MIGHT be just what we need. Genuine question; what does SC bring, other than a good deal of positive credit from over a decade ago? I don't mean that in a snarky way at all, I want to be re-assured this is the right move, not a 'heart-over-head' knee-jerk one.

Over two decades ago. But, he knows the club. He's seen this squad of players a fair amount so should have some ideas already. He will organise them, which has been sorely missing. He knows this division.

[Broadway Brian]

And has worked with Mike Garlick before…

[Oldun]

But who makes the decision? ( or any decision for that matter?)
Is it wholly in the hands of Mr n Mrs G as majority shareholders, or is it " one person , one vote" at meetings of the Board?
How does it work?
If its the former, the rest of the Board have no part to play, apart from Finance and Secretarial roles.
Just wondering!

I was wondering that as well.
I didn’t realise that MB is still listed as Chairman on the club website. I presumed MG took over the chair as he and his wife now own about 77% of the shares.
MG now needs to be making the decisions.

Listening to Savage on the radio after their last couple of games, I have to admit he's exactly what we (and most clubs I'd guess) need. Nothing but positivity and common sense. Of course, I'd imagine that's quite easy when your budget is huge and you're top of the division (and one place below us in the pyramid). Ain't no way, but I wouldn't mind (I never believed he was going to FGR until it was announced though).

Cotts odds on, Brady, Taylor, and Hinshelwood, the other top 4 at the moment.

Wayne Rooney 25/1
Well, it'd be great for merch, until we run out and can't get anymore sorted out, but guarantee relegation. It'd fund Bounceback 26/27...

Changed my mind on this after Savage was asked whether he'd leave FGR to go to Cheltenham, and he replied "why would I go to a smaller club?"

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was just banter, but even still...I'm back to my previously long held belief that he's a tw@

I would think it's a collective decision with the Garlicks holding the deciding vote with ability to over rule all the others if they wish as they decide who sits on the board now anyway.

[Shade]

The way I understand it, the board is still the "thing" that makes decisions, legally, and it is definitely not just Mike Garlick's decision. It really isn't a case of Mike Garlick is the majority owner and therefore he decides on everything that happens and that's the way it is.

However, if the board doesn't agree with what Mr & Mrs Garlick would like to do, he would have the power to sack individuals/everyone from the board and replace them with people they prefer, to pull in the same direction and try to fulfil their vision. The Football Governance Bill makes sure that these people the owner places on the board board can't simply be puppets who do nothing but agree with the owner so that he can do whatever he wants, though. I don't know how though, as I haven't felt board* enough to find out.

As holders of 75+ per cent of shares, they have the power to appoint and remove directors (and a whole load more rights). So, what the Garlicks' want, the Garlicks' get.

As I said, if the board go against them, they can just sack them, but they can't just appoint any old stooge. Well, in theory.

As they are putting the money in and have the experience, they have every right to do what they want

What? you mean they can't just appoint some dodgy geezer???

I would have hoped that if it is to be SC as next manager, it would all have been done quickly and we would be hearing imminently (?) The longer it goes on, the doubts creep in. In saying that, not too often the bookies suspend betting for no reason

They're probably waiting for someone to get off the phone so they can start the dial up connection.

I suppose JP only said that it would be an experienced manager, maybe the three or so shortlisted are all experienced.
On the other hand if it is SC would it be complicated by his acrimonious exit from FGR, said to be breach of contract, if that's not all been sorted?

What was the breach? I thought he was just sacked?.

I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of the fgr ringmaster's mouth tbh.

HMRC don’t have any such things as a fit and proper persons test. Anyone can setup a Ltd company and Companies House don’t give a toss who they are either, although they are just bringing in rules to say you have to prove your identity, which is far too late IMHO.
