I would wager he has a little more input and hand in decision making than merely ‘acts on their behalf’. Final buck may stop with the Chair but you’d be crazy to think it’s as simple as that. Wasn’t he brought in for his assumed skills and talents? If he’s merely acting on the Board’s behalf there would be no need for that would there?
As for ‘Danny’s ground ban’, I’m not privy to why he was banned in the first place so it’s hard to say if I think it’s justified or not.
