I suspect they will stick out. Not because it because it suits the club but their personal agenda's as, in their minds at least sticking gives leaves them in control and some sort of a chance of recovery.
The longer they stick the more difficult scenario 2 becomes for others to sort out. In fact it might be too late anyway for anyone to effectively influence the outcome of this season.
Can the be replaced with better? Certainly. It would be hard to do worse.
It seems there are still people thinking simply just changing the cast will do the trick.
In my view it is odds on they will be cast in the same mould.
The constitution and nature of the beast guarantee beuarocaracy and extreme risk aversion.
Better people but still the system will fail us.
I support changing the cast but as a first step to be lees risk averse and more welcoming of potential outside interests.

Sadly, I agree with this. The structure and set up is wrong. It's a defensive territorial culture that exists amongst the two boards. It doesn't embrace outside interests or even encourage talent from within the wider fan base, it obstinates and it resists change.
You can not be 100% risk adverse when running a football club and still hope for success. Football is a risk as soon as the ref blows the whistle.
Supporters Direct (SD) have already merged with Football Supporters Federation (FSF) to become the Football Supporters Association (FSA) and it would be helpful if this strategy inspired the WST board and WAFC board to do similar, so between them they could figure out the priorities of ownership and responsibility to trust members and the priorities of running a successful football club as a core business activity and principal income generator.
We all know too many cooks spoil the broth. And our club broth is sadly hard to stomach at the moment.
