Congratulations Peter. Expectations will be high; so I sincerely wish you a tremendous amount of luck in your new role. For Stanley and all of us, the supporters.

Was it not part of the original approach from Ilyas for a member of the ASSF to sit on the board in return for the financial support he had given? I certainly remember it being a suggestion that we all backed, especially given the promise of greater transparency. I would also suspect that this is a move backed by Ilyas to ensure that eyes and hears are present in his absence.

All in all not a bad move but uncomfortably I tend to agree with Mr Harris; it won’t actually change anything. It will be interesting to see if the much promised transparency transpires as a result of this move. Still it is a move forward and any move forward can only be positive.

I will ask again; how do you join the ASSF; is there a website may I ask?
