Directors in particular don't want to be seen to be associated with failing businesses that either go into administration or liquidation.
That could explain why so many directors and staff are currently resigning from CCFC, from Clouting (CEO) and Brody right the way down through the 'middle management' tier to the sales staff.
At the moment our 'board' consists of a part-time chairman, an accountant, and a token local businessman, all appointed by SISU.
I would lay odds that Clarke will be the next to resign in the next couple of months.
The January transfer window will be a crucial time for genuine fans - remember that SISU can realise larger transfer fees for the likes of Jutkiewicz, Clingan, Cranie etc before going into administration.
Talking of rats, I notice that Otium has an insolvency expert on its board.......
