Not exactly sure but I think it was Three directors that resigned, and I think you'll find that it isn't Dave Boddy that's the problem it's other members of the board!!!!!

Exactly, and resigned " under duress", still left with the same people who have lost roughly £700k in the last ten seasons, out of the ashes rose a mighty phoenix, maybe!

Someone's gonna say it so it might as well be me,
"Sack the Board"
and let's start again without the "inner sanctum", before they get a chance to mess up the New Stadium before it's even started.

Let me guess who they are Derek Jones,Paul Curtis and David Little,three of the best Directors we have down the Lane,as a share holder I would be happy to move a vote of no confidence in the remaining Board members,but the first one to get into the taxis must be Brian Lancaster,because he killing Worcester City and I cannot see things getting better till he as gone,so please go and go now Mr Lancaster and take any of the others with you who cannot except change, before you are forcibly removed.

As shareholders we have no chance of voting anyone out - or in. There has to be movement from within. Let me re-write that. There HAS to be movement from within.

I suspected this, months ago. (Hucknall game actually)
It is really cloaks and daggers at the moment - and I suspect the night of long knives is soon.
Very few Directors at todays game.

I think you will find that things are moving,ealing mate  ,just make sure you are there when you get the calling,and remember there are only six left on the board. |

So let me get this right, Paul Curtis, who is one of the hardest working, decent, straight up, directors has resigned? Derek Jones, who puts untold numbers of free hours in to the benefit of mainly supporters has resigned? David Little, the man responsible for bringing in corporate revenue to the club has resigned? Is this right??? So if its right, add those names to Richard Bentley, Keith Stokes-Smith and Bob Marley and there's six Directors gone in 3 years. Why? What is going on? Mr Chairman?  I agree with Ealing, the closed shop operated by WCFC Ltd. in such a heinous way for so long has got to be changed, if not, then the "inner circle" will just co-opt more of their cohorts to join the ranks. There's more bad news on the ground I understand, although I'm sure the remaining board members will choose to hush it up like everything else! |

Time to use those balls you were born with DB, or as generally know NOTHING happens down the Lane without the ok from Lancaster, and i don't mean the FA. Please Steve Goode come and save a club in crisis  before its too late, maybe it already is. |

Has this been officially announced? Can't find anything on WEN or H&W. If confirmed it's very disturbing news indeed. I'd like to hear the, remaining, board explain how this has come to pass.

I'd also like to hear some statements from DB and the guys who've resigned. It's time, surely, we had some facts rather than rumours and talk of "inner sanctums" etc. It's all too vague. What IS going on?

I am horrified to hear that Paul Curtis and the others have resigned. The remaining beer swilling directors will just co opt some fellow beer lovers to join their clan. I think the idea of vote of no confidence in the board is excellent. When is the agm? |

Not sure its related, but the fact that for some reason (might have been simple admin error) David Little appears to have been left off the list of Directors in the latest annual returns. The same admin error that saw Richard Bentley also missed of the annual return and subsequently resign from the board.
And who signs the Annual Return? The company secretary - Brian Lancaster. Maybe he's just not very efficient.

No one mentioning names; no one knowing the full picture; denials and rumours - it sounds like the plot to All the President's Men. And the tag line from that movie was "Follow the money."

If Derek Jones has resigned it could be because he has just sold Henwick Grange Nursing Home to a big combine and retired. Perhaps he's got better things to do now.

I have never had any dealings with David Little so I cant comment on his resignation but I know from first hand experience what a truly massive loss to the club Derek & Paul's services will be. You will struggle to find anyone more loyal to the City cause than these people.
I'm stunned!
The saying goes that no one is irreplaceable but these gents will severely test that theory.
I shudder to think what the reasons behind their resignations might be but all credit to them for making a stand, it cant have been easy.

Surprised or not surprised. During the build up to the race night we ran, there were rumblings going on in the back ground and you picked up vibes that not everyone was on the same page of the hymn book. Totally agree about the Trust now, it must be up and back on its feet fast, NOW. The only troubling thing is it may already be too late.  |

I have said this before - the silence from ths boardroom over various issues has been defeaning - they haven't even explained what appears to be a very unusual rise in admission prices for next season. Rumours abound about the ground move and the state of the club's finances.
Even the most loyal of supporters on this MB seem to have lost patience and now we discover three directors - one third of the board - have resigned.
All this adds up to a whole lot of trouble.
Good job there is a group of supporters who seem to want answers - adn maybe have some solutions - the Supporters Trust. A few weeks ago this was being talked into the long grass now it has been mooted as some sort of saviour.
Having been to the two trust reform meetings - this is where the only ideas are coming from to take Worcester City FC forward. There are plans to get it restarted with a real postive purpose - I would urge all WCFC supporters to get on board.

It is never too late.
It's been obvious for a while now that while some of the board wanted to take the club one step forward there were others taking it two steps back - without people like Paul and Derek, we will only be going two steps back.
Unfortunately it seems that now all the Easter Eggs are in one basket - the Supporters Trust.

Ok so how does the trust have an effect when directors like Derek and Paul have had no luck? We've lost their influence (or lack of it) in the boardroom - how do we move things on? Are we talking about getting rid of certain directors? I agree that the Trust looks more and more essential, but in the short term what do we need to do?

Are we talking about getting rid of certain directors? I agree that the Trust looks more and more essential, but in the short term what do we need to do? One answer is for the fans/the Trust to take control of the club. The remaining six directors can only have a maximum of 3,000 shares each - a total of 36,000 at most - there are over 120,000 shares in the club. They don't own the club - but have been acting like it if you read the various postings on this MB. The Trust could opt to buy fresh equity in the club and/or persuade existing sharholders to put their shares in with the Supporters Trust. Another option is for existing shareholders to force an EGM and a vote of no confidence in the board. All will be revealled tomorrow but a big meeting has been scheduled to urge a groundswell of supporters to join a revamped Trust which can wield real power if enough people get behind it. There has to be more talent and skill among the club's support base than among the current remaining six board members...there just has to be. Members of the Trust will democratically decide who will be on its committee and how it wants to proceed. It is called democracy...a factor sadly lacking at SGL. I am sure there much more information will be revealled about the reasons the three directors have resigned and other factors affecting the club in the next few days/weeks. The remaining six directors will have their own opinions on how they want to proceed. I suspect they may look to co-opt more of their chums onto the board - but equally there will be many supporters who will look at the transformation of Trust-run clubs like Telford United and say why don't we give it a try in Worcester. What is there left to lose? |

All extremely positive. Fully support a new and democratic trust so long as it represents the majority and not individuals agendas.
Shame I can't get to the game tomorrow. CG how much notice will there be re the 'big ' meeting ?
