So a Tavistock insider (M&B are a Tavistock company too).
Since Barber and Kemsley left the club
we've been down to 4 directors (Levy, Collecott, Mills and Watts), so I guess this gives us extra capacity at board level.
Could be related to the stadium build (Barber used to work quite heavily on it)?
You've said this before and it is not true
