1976_Child Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Who would be opposed to Mary Corbett being the club's chairman? Why not? Family connections a-plenty, true fan, and Delia has set the precedent for the fairer-sex. To be honest having a skirt at the head of the board table might have a unifying experience, an antidote to testosterone-rich business men...

Isn't she in the nick for something or other again ? Just because you're a lady chairperson it doesn't mean you're above all misdeamours.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 What does this Mary sort look like? How old is she and what kind of rack has she got? I know this might seem unimportant but I only voted for Thatcher once I saw her norks.

Just fell of the office chair... gone and feckin broken a foot off one of the klegs so am now leaning to one side... LOL stop it now.

Just because you're a lady chairperson it doesn't mean you're above all misdeamours. She's not in the nick. Talk about propaganda lol. She's simply been re-arrested. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7882765.stm I happen to think a female chairperson would be a great idea. Women are so much better at negotiation and keeping the peace than men. They have no need to have a p***ing competition and are used to having to be better at any given role than their male counterparts.

What's the difference between "being arrested" and being "in the nick" then. Nick being in police custody in common parlance.

SaintRobbie Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 I think not. Unless her aim was to wind up the plc and sell the club.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Women have no place in a football as far as I'm concerned, unless it's to help out with our award winning catering.
1976_Child Posted 11 February, 2009 Author Posted 11 February, 2009 I think not. Unless her aim was to wind up the plc and sell the club. which would be fine with me...

I usually agree with you but this is bra burning feminist horse knackers, to be more than honest. Women do not often get the top job mainly due to taking long career breaks for kids and being a bit dim, but having said that, occasionally one can make it through. You don't need to look too far to find Mrs Thatcher who not only bombed the living daylight out of loads of naughty Argies (on her first warning),then also told George Bush Senior to not "go soft on me now" and commence bombing Iraq and if that was not bad enough stole milk from our own babies. And you call that keeping the peace. To be serious though, we do need a comepetitive chairperson so if a woman is not of this nature then it wouldn't work. I just wish they would compete outwardly and not inwardly.
bowers-sfc Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 mary said in radio hants interview that she did not want to be chairman for what ever reasons.
bridge too far Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Like Maggie did in the Falklands war TBF I don't think Maggie was a 'normal' woman
Window Cleaner Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Like Maggie did in the Falklands war Ooh, like they've never heard of Mary 1st or even Elizabeth Ist for that matter. A pair of real pacifists were those 2.
Big Bad Bob Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 They have no need to have a p***ing competition and are used to having to be better at any given role than their male counterparts. and of course she isn't engaging in this sort of contest at the mo?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 TBF I don't think Maggie was a 'normal' woman Good point, as she often acheived something.
Frank's cousin Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 TBF I don't think Maggie was a 'normal' woman This is TRUE, It is a well know FACT that she/he peed standing up as it was shown on Spitting Image...
Frank's cousin Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 and of course she isn't engaging in this sort of contest at the mo? How dare you, she is excercising her moral right to support Mr Crouch in his pi**ing contest...
Wes Tender Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 I've met Mary several times and she has always been personable, and approachable. She always expresses her opinions calmly and with conviction. She isn't the sort of person to be afraid to seek advice from others if she feels that would assist her to make the right decision. In short, she would be the perfect antidote to the egotistical and overbearing present incumbent.
'rique Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Im more concerened who will the guy from Abu bring with him? Maybe he will want to appoint a new chairman, only Rupert can tell, so speak up Rupes, Did you go for your glass of wine after your meeting in Hextalls?

Window Cleaner Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 And her rack? Give over Johnny, she must be going on 60 (or more) A little decorum if you please.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Give over Johnny, she must be going on 60 (or more) A little decorum if you please. Sorry. Her breasts then.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Seriously, why don't they get her up there as a possible candidate then? Could she be the one to unite the many smaller shareholders then get one of the others onside?

Family connections a-plenty, true fan, and Delia has set the precedent for the fairer-sex.

One objection: SHE doesn't want to be the SFC Chairperson. Bit of an obstacle there, I would have thought.
Weston Super Saint Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Women think they are so much better at negotiation and keeping the peace than men. All fixed

Start a T.O thread man, get some mileage out of it. You are hiding your light under the proverbial bushel.

Window Cleaner Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 He's got the right sort of post count to be able to start a TO rumour!! Even I know Hextall's is a very smart city legal outfit. But Rupert has pinkies in many pies, perhaps he was there on other business, but we shouldn't let that get in the way of all out takeover frenzy because that wouldn't be in keeping with our fine record in the matter.

That's the good thing about TO threads they're good learning threads for City novices. The crap that I've learnt about money markets and Stock market regulations in the last 3 years is incredible. I'd never heard of Hextalls before today, so that's another new one!!

I think they even have a "sports" arm. Sport's Law, including an expert on "Football Creditors"
Ponty Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Oh my life. No thank you. She's clearly far too emotionally attached, it'd be like that stupid "fan on the board" idea magnified x100. We need a clean sweep IMO. No current or former board members anywhere near the club. They've all proved themselves utterly inept.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 I've met Mary several times and she has always been personable, and approachable.

In short, she would be the perfect antidote to the egotistical and overbearing present incumbent. Absolutely Wes - however I don't think Mary would ever "envisage" herself in this position and would certainly never seek it. Some of the mocking reaction on here from respected posters such as FC are a little sad in my opinion.
Mole Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 I've got nothing against Mary Corbett but women don't make good managers in my opinion. The women bosses i've worked for have all been useless.
Clapham Saint Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Women are so much better at negotiation and keeping the peace than men. Only when they can use the old witholding sex routine. Not sure it would apply in the SFC boardroom.....
SaintIT Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Would Mary Corbett make a good Chairman - Yes Would she do it - No
St Landrew Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 It's funny how a simple - I wouldn't want the Chairmanship of SFC gets buried by a welter of exchanges. Does anyone actually read anything on these forums..?
Mole Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Only when they can use the old witholding sex routine. Not sure it would apply in the SFC boardroom..... Little bowls of pot pouri and smelly candles might help though.
bridge too far Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Little bowls of pot pouri and smelly candles might help though. And a box of beautiful chocolates. Take it from one who knows
ottery st mary Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Get Mary in now. I would like to see some real violence. ie some of the current Chairmen and Directors being hit round the head with her handbag.
ottery st mary Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Just showed the good lady indoors this clip and she has just belted me over the head with her handbag because I was laughing like a drain.:smt022
Mole Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Just showed the good lady indoors this clip and she has just belted me over the head with her handbag because I was laughing like a drain.:smt022 Show her this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmKf2YwskW0
ottery st mary Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Show her this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmKf2YwskW0 Stanley you are getting me into trouble..I will not get any pocket money for a month:smt022
Morph Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 Absolutely Wes - however I don't think Mary would ever "envisage" herself in this position and would certainly never seek it. Some of the mocking reaction on here from respected posters such as FC are a little sad in my opinion. Mary is a terrific person and great company and would be a great addition to the board (for those that have not met her she brings that touch of the "Winchester Tennis Club Committee" to proceedings ie commitment, history, dignity etc, but I'm sure Leon will have a proven Chairman and Chief Executive in mind to take the heat post Lowe / Wilde. All IMHO of course Morph
SaintRobbie Posted 11 February, 2009 Posted 11 February, 2009 which would be fine with me... Mary for President!
