Lovely ideologies but nothing more than theories from the peg-bunger.
Sadly, it looks like you're right again Oxen. First major decision since speech - re-sign Newman.
Do you think the president of a football club looks at and controls who gets re-signed?
Eddie does
Board would only get involved if there is a mega contract on the table to someone. Eg 5 year deal or huge offer to a FA.
Apart from that it's all up to the footy dept. board sets them rules and procedures and as long as footy dept follows, no need for board interference
Having said the footy dept review currently going on will flush all the things out that need flushing
