Puppet Board. No money = no say.
It’s not always necessary for members of a Board to be loaded with cash, you know? They can bring other things to the table – expertise, vision, a copy of the Radio Times and some chicken sandwiches.
Looking from a generous angle – and presuming for a moment that there is no ulterior motive – it’s a possible scenario that what may have happened with the Chairman is:
He has come in to a very difficult financial situation without truly understanding the scale of it, or realising what a clown’s pie the previous owner had made of the club’s books.
He probably doesn’t have anything like the wealth he has worked to give the impression he had. He has been panicking, feeling the pressure of 3,750 pairs of eyes and lashing out. He’s had too much pride to admit that he has not been paying Peter so that he can pay Paul. Over and over.
He’s assembled a Board as he recognised that he needs digging out of a massive hole. The Board he’s surrounded himself with is assisting with all of the legals, admin and engine-work to scale things right back to meet a level where the club operates by what it can actually generate by itself, plus maybe the occasional ‘top-up’ from him.
This, ultimately, will mean ditching the fight for GP and leave us running as a humble part-time outfit and groundsharing “somewhere”.

Is this Jason Herbert guy real or just a sh#t stirring idiot, he seems to be creating nothing but division and hatred between fans who have genuine concerns for SUFC and seems to have the approval of Dave Hilton?
Seems to me that’s his job, he doesn’t realise it though.
People assuming that “difficult decisions” which will prove “very unpopular” (but ensure survival) means “kids for free is going to stop and it’ll be £2 a kid” or they might make a few people part-time is absolutely laughable. It’s almost charming.
Those carefully chosen words are designed to prepare you for the worst, which will come crashing through your screens in the near future. They obviously mean that the battle for GP will be surrendered (because WHAM doesn’t ACTUALLY HAVE ANY MONEY – but they won’t ever say that). So we will be playing elsewhere.
Effectively we will have no asset or potential asset of our own – unless you still believe in the ‘acquired land in town’ pantomime nonsense.
