That's club board dynamics and football boards are political entities.
Change at that level is subject to the whims of members and if members are behind a board they'll stay there.
If however discontent arises, often through continued lack of success, a board becomes vulnerable.
It's not something you can control.
While members are convinced of the direction the club has chosen you'll have stability...when someone pokes his/her head up and says they can do better that's when you'll have a focus for any discontent.
When you have division that's when your trouble will start.
Stability and success are the key components...if either is lacking then you have a problem.
To me, this is part of the problem, this attitude of "you look after your domain, and I'll like after mine." Every bit of the club has to work together, and all have to be working properly towards a common goal, with a common set of values. Bolton is not responsible for everything, but he is the change agent, and the prime mover behind setting values he's learned at the Hawks.
It's a domino thing. One bit of the club affects all the others in some small or significant way.
