We don't want fly-by-nighters who flit in and flit out once their interest wanes.
Nobody is claiming the board will be over-run with external forces, under these rules they would still be very much a minority.
I think fans are easily persuaded by the who of it, for example if our board come out tomorrow and announced they wanted Leigh Matthews to join most fans would be over the moon in support, but if it was Neil Balme the same fans would tear down the pavilion, despite both candidates having similar qualifications and achievements in football administration. The board needs to be colder in it's judgements than the fans.
