54andcounting 0 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm delighted Walter is chairman he's a true blue and has the club at heart so that's important to the layman fan like myself As for MM very admirable man who's had a hard time recently and moves over with grace and integrity WATP 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Of course it's fan appeasement. Just like when Charles appointed MM and Walter to the board last year. However, given everything that's happened, I'm pleased both decisions were made - then and now. Murray was qualified it seems. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Murray was qualified it seems. As is Walter depending on the type of Chairman's role he's taken on and the support he's given. Like I say, both appointments suited the whole board at the time so attempts to negatively downplay either are pretty inconsistent. Time will tell if it's the right decision and I'd certainly look for the board to explain this move in more detail. More importantly, are we still heading for an EGM? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were going for a proper business structure, and any chairman role for Walter would be on the footballing side. I accept plans have probably had to be changed lately though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Chairman is a role that Walter is ideal for. It's not like they are making him CEO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,304 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Chairman is a role that Walter is ideal for. It's not like they are making him CEO. Well we do need a CEO prepared to to confront our many enemies. We don't need diplomacy because that won't work with the Liewells, Petries, Thompsons etc. Walter's a diplomat IMO so chairman may suit him but not sure what it will achieve for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
