Darlo Say No!

Parker resigned because he felt that the three members of the board who did not contribute much financially to the club had too large a say in board decisions.

Elsom appeared to agree with this saying in his statement: "I have stated previously, and I did so again at Monday's meeting, that the Board should endeavour to examine a basis for Board reconstruction to reflect the reality that decisions should be made by the two main funding directors with the remaining directors acting as advising or associate colleagues."

Elsom also pointed out that he had lent the club £50K and was currently looking towards lending a further £25K.

Grim Rob Says: The board's disagreements has come at a bad time when we are hoping to attract a new manager to a club which has a sound financial footing. The reality is it still does have that sound basis to operate in, but the fact there appears to be some sort of power struggle going on may influence who wants to come here. Let's hope the board past and present resolve their differences, especially as most of them seem to agree on the principle that the more you contribute then the more say you have!
