I personally think he should be allowed back but I'm not Oliver Davey so can't make that decision:D.

What is the point on going back on all the negatives. Fair enough, learn from your mistakes but this will not serve that. Each of those issues will have been debated to death at the time. Let it go, it'll serve no purpose and its definitely not the time to go into it now.

"The board now is a rehash of previous boards" -> Of course it is, who else would be there. People who are involved in the club and are there because they put themselves forward. Its always going to be that way until new people get involved with the club and take their turn to effect change. If you think there is something not right now then get involved and make a difference. Who will be on the board in 20 years time ..... my guess, Sligo Rovers fans for the most part and rightly so.

"members of those boards holding prominent positions within the club enabling them positions of decision" -> Thats exactly what you want your board to do, be in positions to make decisions. What good are they if they cant make them? They are not going to get them right every time. You are not always going to have good news.

Lads, these kind of debates are counter productive. There is no method to their madness. Its just slating for the sake of it and it'll only make matters worse.

Get on board, get involved .... If there is a core of concerned fans all working together then ye can make things happen.

Why dont you make a list of all the positives you have had in the last year? At least that might cheer you up. Address the balance if you will.

Get on the phone and find out what you can do to help ... do it ..... do it now.

[QUOTE=avvenalaf;636589]Which boards, exactly, were replaced?QUOTE]

Rupert Lowe has resigned as chairman of Championship side Southampton.

After 10 years in charge, Lowe has stood down from the club's board along with Andrew Cowen, Guy Askham, Michael Richard and David Windsor Clive.
Michael Wilde, Ken Dulieu, Jim Hone, Lee Hoos, Patrick Trant and Leon Crouch have been appointed as Southampton's new directors.

Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Newcastle, Spurs, West Ham, Leeds and Sunderland all have controlling shareholders i.e. 51% of the shares or more and although they have a board of directors they are generally non - executive directors therefore they only work in an advisory role to the owner/chairman whom the final decision on club matters rests with. These owners can only leave if their majority stake is sold.

In such cases that there hasn't been boards in place new owners are encouraged by fans to submit takeover bids.

As for the rest i'm not sure how they operate though I could probably find out if you like!

Yeah, go on then, find out. It'll keep you going for a while
