Have just noticed on the image they used of BM, the two Everton Crests on the North Stand glazing. Don't think i've seen that before.

….wonder if he’ll now spend most of his time over here or whether this type of governance takes place in the US.
I was thinking the same. He seems to have a lot of commitments. I imagine he will travel over occasionally and when required but handle regular business from the US.

His role as I see it is to be the lead the oversight of the executive team and help shape its strategy together with Dan Friedkin.

We have not had any oversight or accountability in that sense at the club since I don't know when.

I still hope that the full board will contain people outside of TFG also, though. I'm confident that TFG will run a tight ship and we finally will have accountability for performance at all levels.

But outside voices only add to that in my opinion and provide different perspectives. The CEO will be one of those people, but an additional one or two more wouldn't do any harm.

I'm conscious of the affects of groupthink which can happen blindly in any organisation where the same set of people work with each other and dissenting voices get filtered out. We've seen this at its worst under Kenwright.
