Perhaps I should reword it. Tom Cliffe is a democratically appointed representative. Not a co-opted individual. So his appointment was endorsed and supported by the fans. That, in my opinion, is the appropriate process for appointment individuals. Of course there are other methods of appointing representatives. I just prefer the process to be via the overall support. Do you prefer other methods?
FWIW I agree Tel, unfortunately you spoiled it by mentioning the utterly invisible and let’s face it pretty useless Tom Cliffe.
I’m sure Tom is a nice guy BUT he is definitely not the man for the fans rep job, KT wanted a yes man and got his wish.
