Marcelle Lazarus

Marcelle Lazarus is the new co-chairperson, couldn't find this in any other threads so i presumed people hadn't seen it. The thing i don't get is David O'Neil has taken over erics shares but if he's taking in these loans and extra chairpersons (presuming she's put money into the club) then has he got the money to be chairman? ... some things aren't making sense at the moment. Hope I'm wrong though.

I met her at the fans forum, very enthusiastic & approachable, talked to her for a quite a bit about her input altho she couldnt go into too much details which i presume this was it, but quite convinced about her knowledge of football at high levels & that she would be using this to bring stanley upto scratch.

Cheers, SM - sounds very promising!

You welcome - she convinced me anyways lol, was very impressed with the 'family & friendly welcome feel from the fans, something amiss in a lot of footy clubs that many dont know the person in the next seat

Dont know about money into the club as to what she has or may of put in herself, but feel her overwhelming knowledge & experience will be the key factor. The DON is a successful businessman but as a footballman he may not be upto speed on how it works professionally ie the ins & outs, promotion etc, something that we have lacked a lot since returning to the league, which has hampered us or we simply misssed the boat. I beleive Marcelle will be the one to counteract that & push the club as a football business agenda than before with the hobby aspect under previous rein.

And what of the Vice Chairman?? Where does he fit into all this?

Stanleymad · 29-07-2009, 16:07

Posted via Mobile Device who's the vice chairman?

Outback Ozzy · 29-07-2009, 16:37

Used to Frank Martindale but he resigned along with Eric

Mr T · 29-07-2009, 17:16

The current vice chairman is Peter Marsden.

Peter lives in London, but is very enthusiasict about Stanley. Gets to most matches, home and away.

He will continue to promote Stanley in the South, as well as using his many business contacts to increase commercial revenues.

Cheers, Mike. She sounds a very enterprising lady...just the sort we need. I wonder if Fonestyle UK will now be sponsoring us in some way?

Fonestyle UK went into liquidation in 2007 and were wound up in 2008, so I don't think they will be sponsoring anybody.

Just out of interest this is part of the announcement on the fishy site

Quote:

Marcelle was introduced to the board this evening ahead of the Burnley game, at a meeting at which the resignations of former club chairman Eric Whalley and director Frank Martindale were officially accepted.

Frank Martindale ceased to be a director on 2nd May 2009 and his resignation was lodged at Companies House on 2nd June 2009 so his resignation must have been accepted in May not last Tuesday.

Despite that, she still sounds promising!
