I think an inaccurate phrase has been used here, as the fans haven't actually elected Brian on to the board of directors.

He is a fan representative on the board, and I wish him well in succeeding Dave, but he is not fan-elected. Looking through previous Mariners Trust board minutes, in 2021 Brian was an unopposed nominee to the Trust Board, and therefore an election did not need to take place.

I'm all for fan representation on the board and it can only be a good thing, but the phrase "fan-elected" is a bit inaccurate.

With all due respect to Brian I know absolutely nothing about him, I had never heard of him until I saw the article, what skills and experience does he have which makes him suitable for this role?

I aren't trying to claim he's not suitable but it would be nice to have some insight on his career and his skills and experience he can bring to the role?

Indeed, I'd like to see transparency on how and why this person was chosen. Especially if the narrative is that he is "fan-elected". What did this process entail? Who took part in the election?

Good luck to the new guy. I believe he has some big shoes to fill following Dave.

For those already starting a Spanish Inquisition....how many of you are trust members, when was the last time you interacted with the trust directly, attended a meeting, read any minutes, spoke with a board member or even attended an event they organised, volunteered ...etc etc

Alot of work goes on by the trust which is largely under the radar but as soon as something like this goes public everyone jumps up and is faux interested and outraged.

If you were that interested in the first place then get more involved with the trust.

I'm not sure how any of what you wrote is relavant. I'm simply calling for transparency (do you disagree with that?). Especially if they are using the term fan elected, when it does not seem to be the case.
