Think it's clear that the current board were just hanging on until they found a suitable buyer. Broughton has openly said he'll be moving on too.

Hope Ian Ayres stays. Man's a credit to the club.

As for Purslow, want to thank him for voting as he did on the board re. ownership but still very angry with him for his role in undermining Rafa.

Hope a football man is appointed, but I'm not holding my breath. Still, a sports specialist, & not just a 'suit', would be welcome. Thats what NESV are, no ?
