Okay, so Lyndhurst Green and Brussels Beaurocrat, can you say 100% that everyone in the LGBT "group" wants to be labelled?
Anyway, back to the original point. These unexpected vacancies provide an opportunity for a new inclusive, progressive direction for our club. I hope JB considers this when head hunting.

I don't think he will--but the time will come, and it will take a few years yet, when how you identify becomes irrelevant. What you hope is that if a sufficiently qualified LGBT candidate comes forward that they are not discriminated against. My daughters' generation seem entirely relaxed about the whole thing and even an old git like me can barely raise an eyebrow when I see two girls walking in Ivybridge holding hands or two men exchanging a passionate kiss on Mothecombe Beach----my thoughts were, briefly, we've come a long way!
I'm assuming the majority of views expressed here are from non-LGBT persons. It's almost as if we should seek the views of those being discussed. Oh wait, they aren't represented.
I don't think that representation needs to be on the board though.

Maybe a position of Equality and Diversity Officer or similar is needed, reporting to the Board of Directors.
Crucial question regarding the vacancies.
Will the new Directors be required to put money into the Club, a la Tony Wrathall, or will they be required for their expertise only, a la Peter Jones?
I suppose it will be the latter, as the existing directors would not want their share of the Club diluted, so we cannot expect new money to be injected into the Club this time.
I do recall that NOT to be the case in the past, whereby new directors would be required to put money into the Club. I suppose new shares would have been created for them, thereby watering down the value of the shares remaining in the hands of the other directors, which would have provided new money into the Club. The alternative would have been for the directors to sell part of their shares, in which case the directors would receive the money and the Club would be no better off. The boardroom would have increased without any financial benefit to the Club.
I cannot see Brent, Wrathall or Hallett wanting to sell any shares, so I guess any new directors would be brought on board for their expertise only.

They seem to have set a bar that in general directors "should" only serve three years. This is probably more in line with JBs plan and we will see once SH becomes more and more influential.
Looking at the three year term, it brings us into the schedule of the Mayflower 400 celebrations so I'd hazard someone with event experience or someone with an "in" with the FA might be helpful.
The other thing that it could be is the phasing out of JBs influence towit a handover of the controlling power at HP.
IMHO the club is in good hands, as the past 6 years have proved beyond doubt. Let's leave them to continue steering the ship.......
So Argyle appoint a woman to the boardroom, the club becomes the talk of the WI groups and hair salons, and attendances jump to 17,000 as women equal men at Home Park.
It could be an impressive season on and off the field.
