Ghost of Clough Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 12 minutes ago, ramblur said: I'm guessing that board members, Mel, Roy and John Kirkland might have been on the panel, although you might include Stephen Pearce (to answer any financial questions). Whatever anyone might think about the Kirkland name, John does have a vast amount of experience, and is no doubt why he's on the board. Absolutely complete guesswork by me though. Just to expand your list slightly... Board of Directors: Mel Morris CBE (Executive Chairman), John Vicars, Stephen Pearce, David Williams, John Kirkland OBE, Roy McFarland.

Yeh, I knew the full board, but couldn't see why Vicars or Williams ( Solicitor, if I remember correctly) should be involved. You don't want a panel too big, and even 4 might be pushing it a bit.

Roy Mac could play, one of the best, but as a manager, tripe, he nearly didn’t get Burton in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kirkland has a long association with the club, much of it as a director, so he's more likely to know about aspects of football that we don't. Stephen Pearce would be the man to answer anything about any financial constraints. Some may be there to ask questions, whilst others might just be there to answer any questions candidates pose.

I know John Kirkland has got more wedge than MM. I don't think he's put much into Derby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkland was part of an equal say consortium (including Mel) that appointed a manager who got us promotion in his first year, so not entirely clueless.
