Guest Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I can't see in a month of Sundays that Duncan Fraser would be in charge of George Yule, should he be appointed. Duncan has no previous experience at being a CEO and is just a fan like you and me. Started sooking up to Milne around about the time when ISG was applying pressure for boardroom change and was asked to help out during one AGM. Milne saw yet another opportunity to take someone and turn them to the dark side. Since then, not been impressed with Duncan one bit. He's just Milne puppet and his vaulted position was more to do with delegating responsibility away from Him, especially stadium. Milne can now try and blame Duncan for the issues, even though they are all of his own making. Young would bring drive and enthusiasm and no doubt some much needed business skills. But end results would be same in that nothing would change with Milne in control. I did hear that Milne was looking to plan an exit and wonder if Young may be a perfect solution. Perhaps Young may have money men behind him, prepared to embrace his sort rather than Milne. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 No news then Still far too many suits at our club & not enough decent players When will we get the right balance When will the club realise where the important changes are needed Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 In the next couple of weeks supposedly. Is this in reply to my first or to all four I'm hoping it's all four but guessing just the first Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Is this in reply to my first or to all four I'm hoping it's all four but guessing just the first Just the first obviously. Hopefully this guy can set about sorting out the other s Link to comment
Ke1t Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 George Yule would be an absolutely terrible appointment. I've never met the man, heard of the man, seen the man or contemplated his existence until I read this thread and heard his name mentioned for the very first time. But I know he'd be an absolutely terrible appointment because Stewart Milne will be the guy making the appointment. That's all I need to know to be assured of the absolute terribleness of an idea. 1 1 Link to comment

I was taking the opposite point of view - the board already appear that bloody useless that any change is bound to be an improvement. But then, I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy. Link to comment

boboisared Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This thread is a perfect example of why folk should just keep stuff to themselves. Foster comes on with some news he's heard and just gets constant hassle/questioning when he'd basically said from the off that was all the info he was prepared to give. It's like being in a school playground with a bunch of little bitches. 1 Link to comment
At The Border Guy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Announced - Yule in, 4 out (Martin Gilbert, Hugh Little, Ken Matheson and Chris Gavin). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-18502954 Link to comment
Tommy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Announced - Yule in, 4 out (Martin Gilbert, Hugh Little, Ken Matheson and Chris Gavin). So AAM do a disappearing act. Wonder if Milne asked for a vote of confidence coz it seems strange timing. Link to comment

barassie_afc Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Are some the guys that are offski , not the ones that were appointed recently to "move the club forward", looks like Milne re arranging the deck chairs..........again Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Does Willie Miller have a new role? Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I assume Miller will continue in some role in the club, just not at board level. Least that means board remuneration should stay pretty steady as well... Link to comment
Redstar Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Milne's about to pull something unpleasant...these boys are distancing themselves from it... Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Are some the guys that are offski , not the ones that were appointed recently to "move the club forward", looks like Milne re arranging the deck chairs..........again Nah, those going were all appointed 2004 or earlier. Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Nah, those going were all appointed 2004 or earlier. So who were the new ones then , how many fkn suits we got ? Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well as far as I can see, this is all positive news. If 4 (maybe 5) suits are stepping down (as in leaving completely) & are being replaced by one suit, then this is certainly a step in the right direction for me.Will save the club a fortune. Time will tell but I cannot see them as being much of a loss, especially if Willie Miller is one of the ones leaving. Just hope they're not getting over inflated redundancy packages Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 So who were the new ones then , how many fkn suits we got ? A board of 10 per the 2011 financial statements.

Just hope they're not getting over inflated redundancy packages Other than Miller, none of those leaving get remunerated (other than possibly expenses) so can't see there being redundancy packages involved. I'd not be surprised to see Miller keep a role in the club, just as an employee. Link to comment

I'd not be surprised to see Miller keep a role in the club, just as an employee. We'd have to keep him in some form cos I don't think we could afford to buy a new white board if he took his with him. Fly fucker knows he's got us over a barrel. Got to give him credit for that one Link to comment

ninja-lewis Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Stewart Milne was appointed a director of the Company in June 1994. He became Executive Vice Chairman in 1997 and Executive Chairman in June 1998 and following the appointment of the Club Link to comment
Redstar Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Two ways to look at this... AFC are trimming the fat in preparation for voting no and the dip in revenue this will bring about...although since Miller is the only one drawing a wage not quite sure why the others have fu*ked off or These boys can't get their heads round Milne voting yes and have told him where to go Link to comment
K-9 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wonder if AAM funding in form of loans to club will disappear along with Gilbert? See looking to offload AAM shares ASAP aswell. Is he not shareholder in Talltray also? Link to comment
