I believe this has already been done and was swiftly swept under the carpet. Did you provide any evidence?

Wonder if it will go down the the route of the investigation into the club trolls?

Their first point of contact needs to be Rich Ulrich who can prove that Mills banned Fezbob from the Spirit forum.
Then Pete can refer himself back to his own memory of the AGM where Mills denied doing this and also denied blocking Fezbob from the club Twitter account. A big mistake there before his denials was his statement that Fezbob was stalking him.
Then they can like all the other stuff on.

If everyone was wrong about everything else though and it isn't Mills doing it, then there is a really massive cowardly snake in the club who is letting Mills take the fall!!!

Referring to director updates on twitter. It's easy to slaughter members of the board, and it's just as easy for them to hide away, so I think it's a positive thing that Spencer has attempted to communicate with the fans via twitter and media. For me the worst situation is when people hide, a bit like certain players on the pitch, when the going gets tough you need to come out, give it your best shot and deal with the flack

Reading this and accepting it at face value, I can see why Spencer and co are staying put.

The long term strategy piece will be their legacy and there does seem to be positive progress towards achieving it.

The issue is that this is against the backdrop of appalling on field performance, which is all your average punter cares about.

Splitting the board into footballing and non footballing projects seems the logical way forward here and I would hope most people wouldn't have an issue with Spencer continuing the longer term off field strategy piece provided someone more trusted made decisions and communicated about on field day to day matters.

The biggest issue with these initiatives is the delay to the 'viewing platform' and the inappropriate language used during the poor communication about its fate.

Otherwise, these initiatives are positive. However, as you rightly highlight, it is the Board's mismanagement of its appointing a string of substandard managers, and the impact that has had on the pitch, that undermines all the previous positives.

My opinion remains that the current set-up between Wrexham AFC Board and WST Board is overly complex and not fit for purpose. Regardless of all the positives -- and if Keates rescues the season -- this glaring weakness must be addressed and corrected. Who should sit on the Wrexham Board is a separate but linked issue to the format of the Board, its responsibilities, and how it is held accountable to its members.

My only gripe with Spencer Harris is that he should not have the "Line Manager" role for the football side of things. If he gives that up (to Dixie?) he can concentrate on the off-field stuff. As for "the platform", it's a communications fiasco.

Good to see this available now on a website, hope it is regularly proactively updated, so we can see how it progresses.

It would be good if we could subscribe to the page, so we would be automatically alerted when updates are done. I can’t see anywhere to do this on the page.

It's been there forever and has never been updated.
Check out "downloads" and read the "rules"; 27. 1.2 defines the closed shop, 28 lists all the things the Board can do - including anything not included in the rules.
