Unless I'm mistaken, this vacancy occured because the 'shaggers director stood down/was forced out?

They've got a goldfish budget and he's the man to spend it.

I would like to see old Nick get it, but I must admit I will take great pleasure in the Boro bloke getting it.
The board at Boro absolutely despise Derby

Having an internationally recognised and respected sports lawyer/barrister on the EFL board like Randall would be quite the coup for them. I can see him being appointed as he would start sewing up loopholes and they won't get the Sheff Wednesday and Derby debacles happening again.

Randall got the nod, along with Ridsdale (PNE), Bausor (Boro).

He could adapt the Rainbow Laces campaign to a 'Charred Laces' campaign.

How does Ridsdale get a look in? I thought he had a bit of a chequered history to say the least.

He's been appointed to the board and been given the precious commodity of time to make a difference.
Someone has to feed the tropical fish.
Ridsdale?
And they want to be taken seriously?
f***ing hell!
"You judge a man by the company he keeps"
I'm sure Mr Randall has heard this proverb?

How the hell Ridsdale could be considered for such a role beggers belief. A guy that the Insolvency Service deemed his actions so severe they disqualified from acting as a director for 7 and a half years.
Offences included:
•Payments totalling £347,000, for services provided by the business to a football club where he was chairman, were paid into his personal bank account between May 2007 and March 2009 instead of to the company's account
•He did not disclose the relevant transactions to the liquidator of the company who was subsequently told of them by the football club
•He failed to ensure tax payments were made by the company. Unpaid tax at the time of liquidation included £166,421 in corporation tax, £102,279 in income tax and national insurance, and £173,653 in VAT
He failed to make sure the business filed accounts on three successive occasions
Yet this guy is deemed fit and proper to sit on the board of the EFL. What a joke.

If they can't apply a fit and proper persons test for their own board how can they be expected to manage it for the 72 clubs?

Nice of him to confirm the current plan for Dane. Get the signings sorted and window out the way before getting his teeth into the bigger picture. Think a fair few are expecting a bit too much too soon (esp on Twiitoorr)
That's a very encouraging interview, and it definitely sounds like we've learned from our recent mistakes.
Thanks for posting.
