Just because they're ex-footballers doesn't mean they can't contribute in a positive manner to our board.....times are changing, not just in cultural and gender diversity at board level but also 'diversity in style of governance' if you'd like to call it that.....I am
.....and after all, it is a football club.
It makes sense to have ex-players who have substantial corporate experience at club board level.....with their natural passion for club success and respect of club history, to me it's like an insurance policy against sometimes non-sensical and purely business based board decisions. I will admit, due to lifetime of experiences, I have an ongoing suspicion of purely business driven people....but I do realise not all are evil and self serving.
So don't get me wrong, I have faith in the Swans board, they have done an exemplary job over the years and the occupants of it wouldn't be there without the due diligence of the club to ensure they align with our clubs excellent values and ethos.....but ex-players of this calibre, to me, are a huge and frankly comforting asset regarding our clubs future direction.
If I've ranted a bit....I've had a few scotches tonight.
