What about Terry Burton for this? He’s currently working on Youth Development at Southampton and knows the club.
Note the wording, “onto the board”, not employed.
Seems to signify that the potential person would have to contribute £’s
He would welcome a DoF? Isn't he in a position to do something about that or are other members of the board against the idea?
The most laughable aspect of the WalesOnline article is the suggestion that board meetings actually take place. With an absentee owner and 4 other absentee Malaysian directors I doubt whether any meeting convened at CCS would be quorate.
Who is left ? Ken Choo who also has a Car Dealership to run. Mehmet Dahlman who seems to be looking elsewhere and the token Cardiff person Steve Borley who is, no doubt, a valuable asset to have on the board but with an absolute dictator of an owner you wonder what contribution he can be allowed to make.
We need someone on the board like a DoF to stop a manager having too much of a free hand but would he be able to stand up to the owner when he starts making idiotic comments and tell him that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I think not.
If we are going to appoint a DOF shouldn't we do thar before we appoint a new manager/coach? The DOF should have a big say in appointing Warnock's replacement. Bonkers to appoint Neil Harris,say, then install a DOF over his head.
And he also said the academy needs an overhaul and he had no idea about the Ayr player we were tracking and it was something to do with the recruitment department (whoever they are). In hindsight, it sounds like he had one foot out of the door as well as yet another reason to look for a DoF.
As a tax advisor, I am very much someone who does not like (or even permit) it. Given the club is presumably loss-making I'm not sure there is much at stake here for (presumably) the Malaysian tax authorities, but the auditors at least would be asking for evidence of locations and attendees of board meetings.
