David Green has been voted off the executive, with 49 clubs agreeing to let him go.
messy business that was. felt like an ultimatum in the end, one goes or a few go.
it was handled in the best way possible tonight.
there was no winner in my view just lots of unanswered questions.
Sprinter, did you feel clubs were pressured to vote against Greeny after this came to light?
you had to give the decision some serious thought based on the question posed from the floor about where to if he was voted to stay.
yes two stood and answered and gave their reasons. at least one other shook their head
indicated they would not stay.
it should never have got to this stage. impartial third party mediation to resolve outstanding issues should have been put in place before it came to the clubs to vote on.
it may not have made a difference to the end result but at least it would have ahd a chance of being resolved before becoming public.
I think that mediation through an outside agent, whilst being a good idea would not have worked. IMO the decision had been made long before the delegates got to vote on the motion.
Not sure if the dog is wagging the tail or the tail is wagging the dog based on what I witnessed last night. MS looked as if he'd seen a ghost and he probably had!
