Unfair to accuse the whole Board of silly antics. Most of the blame lay with the Chair, and some to the sheep who followed him. The game was up the day before, but the Chair did not see it. The C&R bosses (is John Slater still in the picture?) have some pretty serious work ahead of them – cutting loose the Chair would be a good start.

I cannot help thinking the drink-drive incident started the whole thing off. The double whammy of possibly reduced employer indulgence re Board affairs and prospective loss of mobility for several months would limit attention he could pay to the Chair’s job – hence the need for a loyal ‘yes-man’ lieutenant.

Williams blustered and fought for 3 hours and then meekly surrendered by withdrawing the motion before a vote could be put.

Coward, bully, and a drunk

The urgent incident was of course the rinsing of Michael Williams for being a bully boy:

The fact that this post has gone uncommented for an hour and a half shows the level of interest. Out of sympathy for this burning issue, wasn’t there supposed to be a meeting last Monday on this? Did the vote go ahead?
