So is he a director then, or just shareholder?

Interesting read.... got to admire his positivity

One thing caught my eye..

The 56-year-old has signed an initial two-year contract as manager but has also become a director at the League Two club after investing £100,000 in shares

I wasn't aware that any investment sum had been confirmed…. until I read this article

I thought he was only going to be sitting in on board meetings? Admittedly, I've not been following it too closely, so it might be that I've got the wrong end of the stick. My view was that the investment was a PR move to indicate that he wasn't looking to use us as a springboard for a quick move elsewhere.

If this article is correct (and the journalist might well have misunderstood), then he is going to have a seat on the board. Would make board meetings interesting if things weren't going well on the pitch! Sounds as though his 18 month contract has been rolled up to a 2 year one already as well.

What was that?

Mary Poppins or the £100K?

He's on the board so he's a director.

Thanks for posting that.

Dear Mr. Holloway,

The school where I work is excrement.  Can you please fix that too?

Its an 18 month contract that reverts to a 6-month rolling contract after the initial 18 months. So I think anyone saying 2 years is just adding 6 months onto the end of his contract length.
