Bluedell 5,356 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It suggests that there are some issues at the moment between Robertson and the RIFC board that need addressing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfb1872 187 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I read it more as king wanting to be less of a figurehead, and also a means to take quicker action should any issues arise that demand an urgent response, if king is unavailable or too remote 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it says "The role of Deputy Chairman allows Douglas to assist the Club by providing an important local interaction between RIFC and the executive running the football club." If there wasn't an issue at the moment then why would they do they need this? I obviously don't have a clue as to what the issues are. 2 minutes ago, rfb1872 said: I read it more as king wanting to be less of a figurehead, and also a means to take quicker action should any issues arise that demand an urgent response, if king is unavailable or too remote It's possible but that worries me and suggests that the Chairman has the power to make decisions unilaterally and not going with the majority of the RIFC board. Does DP now have the power to make decisions on his own? However, it's possible that the Board can now have quick Skype meetings and make decisions without King being present, and in which case it's to be welcomed, but do they really need a Deputy Chairman to do that? They could be doing it already. Either way, I don't see the appointment as being particularly significant. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,227 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 As I understand it the Parks with others have given all these soft loans that will be converted into shares when that day comes so he is probably just getting his feat under the table to keep an eye on his investment . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It’s not the role of a chairman or his deputy to take executive decisions. This is simply a move to be able to hold board meetings without DK being present. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) was Park responsible for hiring Pedro ? and Where it says "The role of Deputy Chairman allows Douglas to assist the Club by providing an important local interaction between RIFC and the executive running the football c "local interaction".......sounds like King wants hands on representation rahter than remote Edited April 12, 2018 by colinstein 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGaryValentine 85 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not buisness minded at all, but I assume nothing will change on the grand scale of things? Park left the board due to ill health, now he is back in (albiet with another title) so I don’t have an issue with at all considering how much he has invested in us. Hopefully him being Deputy Chairman makes the rubber-stamping of big decisions alot easier with King being out the country? Like a new manager perhaps? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
