Club Statement.. Fenty stepping back / down!

I am speculating that this JF move was probably agreed as part of the negotiations to bring Ollie here.

Ollie has said he wants to be part of building something and to leave a lasting legacy. Being given an opportunity to shape the club on and off the pitch might have been a significant factor in his decision to move here, and might also explain why he put some of his own cash into the club. He had to, in order to secure a place on the board to be in a position to take over day to day running of the club.

Sounds like he is now both manager and Director of Football.

With Anthony Limbrick to step up when/if Ollie thinks it's right (possibly)?

Quoted from WayneBurnettsJockstrap

Our 'biggest budget' at this level eh? The problem is that out of that budget has to come new contracts for quite a few of the Town players who are out of contract at the end of the season. If Ollie is to retain all of his best players with new or better contracts, I very much doubt that will leave much of the 'biggest budget' for new players.

Players out of contract will be

Clarke
Hessenthaler  
Grandin  
Wright  
Whitehouse  
Davis  
Garmston  
Russell  
Cook  
Rose  
Cardwell  

...and Chaz with an option of another year.  

Theres some big names there who are now performing week after week and will command a decent amount, especially if they want various clauses writing into their new contracts.

My guess is that those to go MAY be Whitehouse, Cook, Rose, Green and Cardwell.  Just saying!

Strange that an improved Whitehouse is usually first choice in his position when Ollie picks his team??

Quoted from KingstonMariner

That would be the logical thing. But what’s the point of stepping away from the club day to day then?! He said he’s stepping away from day to day involvement in the club because of the conflict of interest. That just doesn’t make sense. Not that I mind him stepping away from the club.

There have been legal precedents set in this area of "conflict of interests", a compulsory purchase order of houses surrounding a proposed expansion of Anfield several years ago springs to mind.
I have read the full statement, as printed in the GET, and nowhere does it mention that he is "stepping away from day to day involvement in the club because of the conflict of interest". He does however say that "Becoming the Deputy Leader for North East Lincolnshire Council has added complications and time constraints". This is not the same as a "conflict of interest" as regards council decision making. In fact because of his high profile as the major GTFC shareholder then any involvement he had in discussions or decisions involving the new ground would immediately be flagged up by the opposition councilors and challenged.

He said last night it was due to conflict of interest

Nolans 7 principles of conflict of interest he kept saying

Whitehouse has been superb, why on earth would we want to get rid?

But will he be when Hess is fit again?

Which Nolan though? Coleen? Jon? Kevin?

Correct but Nolans 7 principles apply to anybody in public office and would prevents them from using their role in public administration to further their personal business sphere. It would still exclude him from any public office decisions that could be seen to be beneficial to his personal or business life.
