    Maybe, but with a percentage holding of 5% or so, he will only have any influence if he is given it. Not because of anything that has happened in the past or because of any right he might have.

    Another local journo (Scott Wilson) is saying that Donald and Methven are involved in the selection.

    Methven used to be about all the time but hasn't been day to day since he resigned a year ago
    Might have made the odd visit or been to the odd match but definitely not running things daily

    He just said before that he has absolutely no contact with Methven now he’s asking you take his word regarding the knowledge of Methven’s whereabouts. It’s all bollocks man to suit whatever rhetoric they’re spouting.

    ITK’s saying new manager this week and more senior roles ( dof maybe ) late December/early January. I’d have preferred the DOF to be appointed first and he chooses the manager to suit the style we’ll adopt.

    With respect mate I didn’t come on here to be grilled. If you don’t believe me I’m not bothered.

    I'm not worried - just pointing it out as we know it's going to create more noise to back up some of the claims flying around (even if the genesis of this IS the claims)

    The local journos are just completely guessing at this point. Why would they suddenly know the ins and outs of the selection process when they’ve known absolutely nothing up until now?

    How do you feel about who it is, if you know?

    This is the point here.

    Whatever role CM is given, and however influential it may be, it is there entirely in the gift of those who own the business. If they give it, then it is to be assumed they are happy to go that way. But it will be their club, and they will do whatever they want to do want in the long run. Or the short run come to that if they see fit.

    Absolutely.

    Since the whole social media Donald out campaign they don't seem to find too much out with the exception of Nick Barnes.

    It's just a little chat forum man ....

    .... did you think you were making a statement to the nation who don't have the right to reply?

    People come on here to chat and expect to back up what they're saying, and that's posters who've been here a decade.

    You're just another 'new poster' who will probably have a sulk and vanish as many do.

    It appears you spend far too much time with people who always agree with you and hang on your every word.

    If that's what you're expecting here you're seriously mistaken.

    Thats not really what’s happened though. You’re demanding I provide you with information that I don’t particularly want to give out. I’ve probably said more than I should anyway.
