Football Department Review

[DJC]

All of that is fair enough, but you are ignoring a few things that are getting on peoples nerves.

1. This board started a review mid-season which no doubt had an effect on the way the football department ran.
2. This board sacked Barker 2 days after the review was announced (clearly not finished yet) because he said he was not going to be around next year.
3. This board sacked Bolton and appointed Teague.
4. This board sacked Malthouse and appointed Bolton.
5. This board sacked Ratten and appointed Malthouse.

Not entirely correct.

Only Jeanne Pratt was on the board when Ratten was sacked and Malthouse appointed.  Sayers and Mathieson were appointed after those deeds were done and attended their first board meeting in October 2012.  All current board members, with the exception of Chris Townshend, were there when Bolton was sacked.  Townshend took his place on the board shortly before Teague was appointed.

It's probably drawing a long bow to say that the board sacked Barker; that was Liddle's work.
