Chairman George

We've had so many chairman in the last few years it's hard to keep track of where one ends and another begins.

Part of the problem is that they all say exactly the same thing when they're appointed, and in that respect George Rolls' bland acceptance speech doesn't disappoint; blah blah unity blah blah in it for the long term blah blah success on the pitch and stability off it blah blah blah blah blah. Hardly Obama-esque is it?

How long he lasts remains to be seen, but as it goes I think George will probably make a better fist of being chairman than he has of being director of football. He clearly pulls all the strings at the club anyway, and from what I gather is actually around at the stadium during the week, something which a number of our former chairman (naming no names Lee Power) have struggled to do.

And despite his various football-related gaffes, as he runs his own firm he presumably has some kind of business accumen and as such should be au fait with the commercial side of things, the role that, after all, he was initially brought onto the board to fulfill in the first place. If we can get someone in who actually knows the football business (big if I know, but I've got my optimistic hat on today), and can deal with the likes of Barry Fry without ending up looking like a total dork, we could be onto a good thing.

Meanwhile, the latest results from the Great Gary Brabin Formation tombola will be revealed in tonights match against Oxford. The smart money, or should I say the CEN's money, appears to be on 4-3-1-2, but no doubt our leader will keep us guessing until the last minute. Exciting times.
