but god... this is going to be competitive i reckon.
;)
(JOKING OF COURSE)
Did these sort of conditions apply to the previous role and if not why are they needed now? Might be an interesting question for someone somewhere?
It will be interesting to see how this develops and I assume/hope the minutes of these meeting will be published on the CAFC website
You should sign up for it. You'd be great.
How sexist! Could be a woman or women : - )
I'll be furious if they do.
Hope so, will be good to have a range of different, strong candidates and reps.
But what makes you think it will be competitive?
Nah, have to buy your own ; - )
Obviously not enough
No, there was no real role description before although there was an assessing process the time before last. I felt it would make the role (what is it and more importantly what it isn't) clear to everyone and so make the job more straightforward.
It's one year rolling so could continue for longer.
Yes, I hope the minutes are published as well. Would be a good use of the Fans' view pages rather than the drivel that's on it now.
Sorry I was out seeing a client but rather naive of you to think that this was the first time I saw the criteria.
And if I had wanted to stay on I would have accepted the board's offer of another year. So not jobs for the boys. Come on, work it out; it's not rocket science.
Good luck to you, and all the other candidates as well of course.
Reading the above it appears to be the latter.
How the voting will work is set out above. The first post is only part of the process
There will only not be an election if there are three or less suitable candidates.
People still have until 11 October to get the application in.
Hadn't seen that.
But that doesn't mean charging Palace style prices.
