It's of no relevance whatsoever for Board room votes, whatever you may think. There's a big difference accordingly. "The only place where Success comes before Work is in a dictionary."    Report

No one is disputing the right of the organisation to have "pops" at the Club, however, more often than not, you "score an own goal." I can not condone the current press release because so much of the content misses the key issues. I want a strong NCISA that can be taken seriously by the Club and land heavy weight punches on the keys issues. The members of NCISA may not agree but, in my opinion, this isn't happening and the organisation really should ask itself why this might be so? If you want to blame the Club, so be it, however, in a lot of people's eyes the failing actualll lie within the organisation itself. You may not like that message, but take a step back and ask yourself why this might be so? "The only place where Success comes before Work is in a dictionary."    Report

I can never work out whether you are someone that is the head of a relatively large company, therefore having relevant experience, or a bit like me, self employed and trying to make ends meet in a shi**y depressed market place. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me? Within the confines of what some like to think is an anonymous message board I'll answer how I feel comfortable if that's ok? I've never seen the need to ask what anyone else does, how old they are, what they weigh etc I'm a director of one company that I helped set up in 1991 when I finally came to live in Norwich. That makes me self-employed in that respect but certainly not trying to make ends meet. Business is good - I'm by no means rich, but I am 'comfortable' so I guess over the years that makes it successful. I act in a consultancy role for another company that I'm a shareholder in. That too continues to grow well, bucking the current trend. We don't employ many people as much of the business is web-based, service or farmed out. There can be anything up to a dozen people on the books at any one time. So, not 'big' in that sense of the word but good enough for me. I've worked successfully for myself since I was 21 other than a stint running a company turning over about a million (when I left - it was half that when I arrived) for four years in the late 90s when I fancied a change for a while. I take an avid interest in business, finance and football and especially enjoy it when they all meet up. Gives me something to get stuck into. Where's my monkey?    Report

No, having owned and run companies there is a great deal of difference between your theory and actual fact. So it's not what I think it's what I have experienced in practice.   PUPS do it six times, once a week, and if lucky in nine months produce something for the academy!!    Report

The Boardrooms I've atttended, both in the past and current, have always been one person, one vote, even when one board member owned 80% of the Company.

Ah, good, one of those people who has paid £5 for 3 years of membership and gets to stand at the front.  Were you consulted on this statement Tangy ?  Or was Tilly flying solo ? On the ball City !

The chairman and CEO and NCFC were man enough to recognise that they were not up to it and step down. Let us also hope the same can be said for the committee of NCISA.    Report
