What a wonderful day - I haven't smiled so much in a long time!
Well done to the Trust. However it's now got some further serious thinking to do. Will it complete the necessary full financial review of the Club? Will we revert to the position where the Trust Chair is also the Club Chair? Or will we now go for a truly 'independent' Chairman who will genuinely report to both boards? If we go the second route then that chairman will have to be a seasoned professional who can actually carry out the redevelopment programme and who needs to be amenable to taking the specialist advice that is freely available within the ranks of City supporters.
The Trust has shown the Club Board that it now takes its governance role seriously. We must never again get into the situation where it is allowed to slip.
