True. However meaningful engagement is much more important, such as DKs much maligned word 'transparency' between directorships. Minutes made available on request. The ability to contribute/drive the agenda for most board meetings (critical and strategic, not essentially operational). Mutual respect. I could go on and on.
I was at the C1872 meeting where
@Robert Marshall made it clear he was not enamoured with the idea of C1872 board representation.
I don't necessarily agree with his reasons for not having it. I just don't see it the immediate priority.
I think this thread is a good indication of where real efforts need to be made.
I also for the record have absolutely no problem whatsoever with CG receiving a stipend from the Club for his expertise in supporter matters. None whatsoever.
I don't know him that will, but know enough about him to know that I trust him. More than I trust the OP, whom I've never met.
I see no conflict of interest, I would if it was anyone else probably. Which is quite strange. Can't explain why, just my gut feeling.
It would be the same with characters like our own David Edgar. No matter how much the board paid him, he wouldn't let them away with any shite!
