Certainly would have the knowledge.

Looking at it from a different perspective though, Matthew Ellis may want his own team, and start with a clean slate. We've had instances in the past, and I'm sure we're not alone, by having previous CEO's board members stay on into the next regime, and it not be a success.

The Ellis' family business is very successful, ran well in all aspects, if he wants to make a serious difference to the club, and bring in his own team, without current board members, for me, I'd be OK with that.

It's not that I wouldn't be ok with it so much as, where is he going to get this team from? It won't be his current team. They are running the kitchen business.
We have a lot of projects moving well but not finished.

If Minards stayed, he wouldn't be a shareholder, he'd be an employee. ......with vast knowledge of whats going on and a leader. They'd be foolish to overlook him.

fresh start needed, drain the swamp and get rid of all.the hangers on and grovellers. He'd be nothing more than a distraction from a previous regime.

Thanks for the updates guys.
All seems positive to me.

Calling him a hanger on shows a lack of understanding of what he does.

I didn't call him one, that's you again trying to twist things. Jm needs to go he's come up short, hes tried his best but it's not been good enough.

Would you care to explain where he’s come up short?

I could see why he would want to do that…
Let’s hope that if he does have a team behind him they have a decent track record for such things..
Mike Rush at st Helen’s would be a start….

I don't follow. You said he needs to clear out the hangers on, in reply to someone suggesting Minards should stay.

Now you are saying he's come up short and isn't good enough.

So just to clarify, I still disagree and still think you don't understand what he does.

I don’t think that some on here understand very much how JM has done recently for getting this redevelopment done, the number of Businesses and organisations he has built up a reputation and although it wasn’t really mentioned in Richard Whitehead post, there is still other projects going ahead. The next one I believe is the Rollin Shack, if this does happen, then a lot of people/organisations involved will need the skills and knowledge that JM has within the sports, financial and commercial world. Ellis would not regret having JM onside.

Delayed stand ( not a stadium ) with no hospitality boxes
A shocking North stand development
Debt at approx 4 million
Cash flow and finance leading to the share issue and mcs dad pumping 300 grand in
Terrible recruitment for about 4 years and a team losing 16 in a row until ME donation, leaving us on the brink of relegation.
I've no doubt he's tried his best but imo he's come up short.
All the current regime should go and some new blood with fresh ideas brought in.

Still stand by my answer.
