Not sure if it's significant to be honest. Clearly he is a mate of Wael's from Taylor Wessing who the Al-Qadis use for a lot of their international transactions. I'm sure he's a good operator and he comes across very well but not sure it's indicative of anything happening in particular.
I've been wrong before though! In fact frequently!

Why would we now, 3 months post acquisition, need to give a position, albeit non-execuitive, to Mike, and then state that he, The days of flying by the seat of our pants and making it up as we go along are behind us, this has been done for a reason. |

Maybe because he was involved in the acquisition, has stayed interested and pitching up to games, they respect and admire him and his insight, and think he'd be a good guy to have formally involved in decision making now they've had a couple of months to establish themselves beyond the immediate take-over squad getting to grips with specific aspects. As for his CV and travel itinerary, I read that as a line to answer the 'who he?' bit and maybe explain why he won't always be about. I'm not saying that's 'all there is to it', just that that would make sense to me, and I'm intrigued what I might be missing, fuse-wise, especially wrt international mergers and acquisitions. |

The only other thing I have to add is that there was a comment when the takeover happened about the new owners being surprised to learn how many Directors we had. (If she can be bothered maybe Anne could find it?) With that as a backdrop, it seems unlikely that they would hand out Associate Directorships on the basis you outline above. Maybe I've got a dose of The Watolas, 2+2 = 5, but I've been expecting news soon after the season ended for us. Wael hasn't just been sat on his hands waiting to see what division we'll be in next season. Let's see what the coming days and weeks bring. |

One thing I would say is that I think they're instituting a serious governance structure rather than Directorships being largely a courtesy title to anyone banging in some dosh, while the chairman and company sec make all the decisions. |

Everything they've said is about incrementalism, and concentrating on the team / squad / youth and the stadium. in the (to my mind) v unlikely scenario that they were also going for that sort of thing, wouldn't it be done through the Dwane Sports or whatever they're called, anyway? blimey, we're an unproven 3rd division football club  with a major building project in remedial measures. |

They never said when they found out how many Directors we had. You would presume it was pretty early on. Yes, it's looking like a normal operating BoD. You can almost see each Director being asked to report and being able to do so. Who would have thunked it! |

Hes a partner at a large London law firm and travels alot, I doubt he will have a massive role in the club, beyond the typcial role of a non-executive director (taken from the web):
Strategy. Non-Executive Directors should constructively challenge and help develop proposals on strategy.
Performance. Non-Executive Directors should scrutinise the performance of management in meeting agreed goals and objectives and monitor the reporting of performance.
Risk. Non-Executive Directors should satisfy themselves on the integrity of financial information and that financial controls and systems of risk management are robust and defensible.
People. Non-Executive Directors are responsible for determining appropriate levels of remuneration of executive directors, and have a prime role in appointing, and where necessary removing, executive directors and in succession planning.
He is there to provide Counsel and almost be a devils advocate against the board.
He is just what they said he will be, I cant see anything else. They are just putting a 'normal' board structure. The old structure was abnormal.

Can't get used to board critics becoming board supporters Better get used to it Matey. We've got our Rovers back and I'm loving every second of it Not sure I've ever seen scenes like those in the ground and on Glouces Rd on Sat night, incredible to see how much it means to so many people. I'll throw another spanner in the works for you. The pitch was superb for an end of season game. |

Indeed. I think that's two seasons without the rugger buggers mucking it up. Two good seasons ... can't help but think we're better off without them.
