It is for the major shareholders to appoint a new chairman/board....
At the time of the last crisis when Gerry Berman stood down they actually got off their arses and bought in Geoff Andrew and grahame.
Just to clarify that it wasn't Gerry Berman who stood down during the 'crisis' AGM and ensuing EGM of 2002.
The board at that time comprised Dave Tracey, Bob Green, Bob Peters, Jeremy Pollitt and Kevan Guiney.
They reportedly resigned en masse following their failure to gain the backing of the club's five largest shareholders, headed by (former chairman] Gerry Berman.
The new board members were:
Geoff Goodwin (nominated by Gerry Berman);
Andrew Shaw (nominated by Leonard Rosenfield);
Grahame Rowley (nominated by Graham Heathcote).
