Which is my view on Sir Merv. I'd rather have a new striker but he'll be an asset in some areas.

It's the sort of appointment that, had it been made when Randy first bought the club, would have had us giddy with excitement.

It's still potentially very good news, we're just not in the right frame of mind to hear it.

Agreed, and you can say that about a lot of things.

Lets hope he knows someone with big money who wants to buy the club. Got to say why would he come on the board at this time without the thought of things getting better

Because he's being paid to attend a few meetings and talk about how he would make things better for something that he's passionate about? Why on earth wouldn't he?

If the club thought that paying you lots of money to give your advice would be beneficial, would you say no?

I'm not sure he'll be getting paid at all, or if he is it's very likely not that much.

Does he really need the money for one? Does he need his reputation being tarnished?
