New non-executive Director signs in

Sounds like what we need. His breadth of business experience and track record in making businesses successful (I read he sold Embark to Lloyds for ?400m) will benefit us.
I just hope he can devote enough time to RUFC given all his other work commitments.

This is the key point. Advise only. Others have to agree and take action…….

Welcome aboard.

First order should be to appoint a shadow board. Absolute respect for Phil and his achievements, ability, obvious presence and passion, but for the club to embark (pun intended) on a journey to consolidate as a regular tier two side over the next 20 or 30 years, it needs to understand its younger fans.

Whether people like it or not, younger generations live markedly different lifestyles and can earn and spend very differently to those just a handful of years older. People can be critical of them for living in the 'instant gratification' mindset, so why not reverse that logic on older generations and accept that if we put instant success (the SE model) to one side and think what a club will look like in 2046 in order to attract a good following. I'm sure some on here will already know that pie and pint isn't as appealing to many youngsters, and it doesn't end there.

Engage with younger fans in a meaningful way. Many of us won't be here/in good enough health to be doing 46 games a season for the 20-30 years he talks about.
