Strange...I thought he was partof/close to the board of directors in the 90s...Bryan Richardson and all that....his influence increasing as we were relegated...and that he held the reigns just prior to SISU's takeover...as well as playing a prominent role since including his now infamous quote only 9 months ago;

"I reassure the fans, that under SISU this club is in safe hands"​

(probably said as he took his padded free seat in the main stand, swigged from his free pint of beer, and munced on his ninth free prawn sandwich)

I think he's more than a caller to CWR, mate!!!!!

I think that Colnel Mustard is correct, that JE was only an "Associate Director" in the 90's. That was just a courtesy tiltle - it didn't mean he was on the Board.

I'm not sure when he actually went on the Board, I think it was about the time we went to the Ricoh - but I'm not sure about that.

As for his work in getting SISU in - we were up sh1t creek at the time and they were offering to provide a paddle. We can all be wise after the event, but I have to admit that at the time I was fairly happy about them coming in. In fact I was fairly happy with them until 6-9 months ago.

And as for changing direction and now supporting GH's supposed bid - it's not unreasonable to change your opinion when the facts change.

Agreed Torchy...I do not doubt Joe is a CCFC nut just like you and I.

However, we don't sit as directors/vice-directors etc, or are privy to what is going on behind the scenes....we don't have the opportunity to shed light on key decisions/issues...or fundamentally alter the future of our club.

I think he is a CCFC nut.

Some people are misled into thinking that one person can easily take on an entire board! :facepalm:

So just ineffectual then rather than complicit.
