I obviously initially misunderstood exactly what you meant. What you've described is fair enough. Not sure the 36 years as a Saints fan is relevant but if you have specific experience AND desire to get involved then great. See that? I'm granting you permission to go for it. You must be so relieved and flattered. I know that you were secretly awaiting my personal seal of approval.

Meant to add. Anyone going for a place on the board without direct relevant experience would be doing so as an ego trip. In other words they'd be doing it for themselves and not because they genuinely had some proof that they actually would benefit the club. That is a disqualification issue as far as I am concerned. Secondly, taking poz as an example. He knows you well enough. He knows he;ll get your complete support right up until the day you go to him with another crackpot idea and he decides not to go with it. At that point he can look forward to 10 years of unsubstantiated shit being thrown at him from you. Just like you did with the current board. You have form and some of us have decent enough memories.

The first bit I've highlighted in your post shows exactly why you can neither read nor understand anything of any importance. I didn't mention professional qualifications. I spoke about direct relevant EXPERIENCE. If you think direct relevant experience for a particular role is not as important as enthusiasm then you are indeed a spoon short of a cutlery drawer. I think we pretty much already know that. The second bit of your post shows you don't listen either. Poz clairified that he wasn't putting himself forward for a position on the board. Honestly, I've just put my children to bed and now I have to come on here and breastfeed you as well. It's a hardship I'm telling you.

I think anyone putting their name forwards should think very carefully about whether they have good, solid and highly successful direct relevant experience in the position they are standing for. That's the best chance the club has of being successful. We don't need plumbers applying to become doctors because they watched 3 episodes of House. Of course this comment isn't directed specifically at you but I'd urge all of you who plan to stand to look in the mirror and be utterly honest about what you can bring to the club.
