Who’s in charge?

Serious question:

Who’s in charge of the ECF right now?

The ECF Board of Directors. Those who have things to do can get on with them without worrying too much about someone looking over their shoulder. Structurally Home, International and Juniors can be self contained if you want them to be.

Thanks for managing to reply this time without making a crass 'joke' about dementia John.


What I had in mind was who’s in charge day to day.

:shock:

Belgium managed without an elected government for 589 days. I expect the ECF can stagger on for a little while without a CEO.

Oh I’m quite sure they’ll manage. I was just idly wondering where to whom I’d send a letter if I happened to be of a mind to write to the ECF collectively. As opposed to a matter that was clearly with the remit of a particularly director.

Well to be neutral about it all you could write to Gary Wilson asking him to bring it to the attentiuon of the 'Human Being in charge'. Then it's his problem. On the other hand, you could wait a bit and see if the Board announces anything. It only met for the first time yesterday.

Arbiters, or, to be more exact, a select group of arbiters (forgetting the collective noun).
