TGD. Here you go again. Stupid comments to try and bring conflict between myself and others. You may be a simpleton so far as realising what you are actually trying to do, but just to please you, I will answer your question. The Jamie McCombe fiasco, as you put it, was fully explained by Rob Bradley, which I'm sure your read. It was not a decision taken by the Board as you well know.
It was not a stupid comment nor am I a simpleton, as you well know. Really Keith, resorting to such nastiness on such a beautiful spring day really is most unbecoming of one who is not seeking confrontation.
I know the explanation that Rob gave and I know the reasons why BUT the board at the time HAS to take collective responsibility for this decision. They were the ones who agreed delegated authority to whatever club official it was who made the decision so, whether you or any other Board member at the time like it or not, it is the Board who have to take responsibility for the consequences of that delegated authority. If he/she acted outside their remit then they should have been disciplined but the Board still has the responsibility to check that person's work and decisions. I'm afraid that turning the other cheek as you are attmepting to do here is not the way to run a business.
At the end of the day the Jamie McCoombe clause cost the club some money. Its not the worst decision an LCFC Board has ever taken and its not the greatest. I wouldn't get too hung up on something that happened so long ago except for the fact that no-one will take responsibility for it.
