Of course, Harold's brother Tostig Godwinson fought with King Harald Hardrada of Norway at the battle of Stamford Bridge against Harold. He think he was killed there.
Bit like Steve Lansdown (reputed Rovers supporter and potential spurned investor) coming back to challenge the leader of the Gas. Would it have been all different if Landown had taken over?

It will be intersting to see what effect the departure of GoD (from the BoD at least) has on the positions of Phoni and Kevin Spencer.

You can never find a hidden agenda when you're looking for it. Anyway it's all mancgas' fault. He defined pleb first.

If I caught what Nick Higgs said,GD will not be selling his shares,so I assume he'll still be involved in some decision making. Which makes his standing down all a little bit pointless really in many respects. He's still there, he still has a say. if he is not on the Board of Directors then he will have no say in the running of the club. It is true that his allies on the Board may act to protect his interests but his only formal input would be via the question time at Rovers AGM

Do you think he was nudged out? he seemed to make the point that his role was dwindled down to that of a BRFC ATM. Maybe the stress and all has got so bad his family have finally persuaded him to resign. Your thoughts?

Where decisions are contentious then voting is based on shareholding so GoD's position will be protected by someone voting as his proxy.

Strictly, as you know Cheshire, for Geoffs shareholding to count in a vote there will need to be an EGM or at the AGM. Not sure if Geoff stillholds enough shares to call an AGM. But ppeople just can't let go even if he sold all his shares some would still claim he had some voodoo control of the board. As the forum police said he's resigned let it go & move on. Start asking questions like who may come onto the board, who may or may not buy his shares, does a business with a £4-5m turnover (& dropping) need a finance director on £80k a year?

I agree with this Paul, I suspect GD still holds his shares because nobody was willing to purchase them. When I resigned in 2006 I held my shares for over a year before the club decided that they wanted to buy them back and that was agreed at the same price as what they were purchased for.

You could argue that it needs an FD who knows what he's doing on £100k per year instead.........

When I resigned in 2006 I held my shares for over a year before the club decided that they wanted to buy them back and that was agreed at the same price as what they were purchased for. So we can safely assume that the company (which is I presume BRFC 1883 Ltd?) won't have the cash to buy Geoff's shares (at whatever price could be agreed). So they would need to be purchased by a current director or new investor. As an ex-director NB have the board got to approve the sale of any shares (I think there maybe a rule to this effect in private companies but my memory on the subject is failing!)?
