Served as a Director in Wharton’s time. Although I doubt he will bring significant additional investment, his experience in a corporate setting should bring an additional and different skill set to the Board. Hopefully, that includes longer term and strategic planning, which we desperately need.

Lee is regularly sponsoring games with his daughter so he clearly has a few bob, but I agree that it is unlikely to be the game changing investment we need.

He is certainly not going to be ploughing in the mega millions that clown Ian Sharp thought the now defunct FC100,000 would bring into the club, so I presume they are still searching for further investment in the back ground.

On the face of it i think this is a Good appointment. He has had a long career at Barclays and clearly has a lot of experience that will undoubtedly help the board.

Any relation to Collinson, Scunthorpe builder in the 50’s and 60’s?
