Are Methven and Donald still connected to the club or have they rightfully been dispensed with? I may have missed something but I ask this because they are not listed as even non-executive directors on the club website.
They are share holders mate, nothing more. They have no input into the day to day running of the club, don't sit on the board and are pretty much non existent other than having a voice (small and insignificant) at any share holders meetings. It's only the reflected glamour of being a share holder and the potential financial benefit of selling their stakes in the future that has them hanging around right now.
They've also got the loan from FFP to repay, so they're sticking around in hope we do get to the prem.
This, if the chancers turn up at any games where there's a crowd I think they'll get the message big time
