The Director Maiden Stakes


With six new club directors announced the question on most people’s lips surely is, who will be first to leave?


Early favourite would have to be the Commercial appointment. They tend to be early fallers and attract the smart money.

The Finance Director is always worth a flutter. Certain other Finance Directors have benefited in the past from wearing blinkers. Particularly when faced with tax-bills.

Operations and Development are longer shots as the average punter doesn't really know what these titles actually mean. Good for the housewives flutter, but not attractive enough for the dedicated board watcher.

Outsiders are the non-Executive appointees because even they don’t know what their titles refer to – so who knows, they may be doing a grand job! May be stayers, but equally possibly they are on the way to the glue factory as we type this!
