I originally posted this on another thread but the more I think about it the more I'd like to hear the board's view on some of these questions. So I thought I'd start a new thread and perhaps others can add questions they'd like answered and I wonder if @traceyhibs would be so kind as to share a collated list (I'm happy to put it together into one list) with her board colleagues? Not expecting point by point answers (although it would be nice) but even some general feedback on these would be welcome, or at least taking our views into account in future club communications?
I think the trouble we have is that there's so much of this cliched 'the board doesn't match the manager's ambition' empty rhetoric that no-one ever asks good questions of the board's performance. Challenges I'd suggest are valid (not saying they're doing a bad job on all of these, just that I think they're valid to ask) include:

Challenges I'd suggest are valid (not saying they're doing a bad job on all of these, just that I think they're valid to ask) include:
- Are they doing enough to support and promote HSL?
- Should they be developing a parallel donation stream that's not tarnished by whatever nonsense has been thrown at HSL?
- What are they doing to minimise off field expenditure to free up more funds for playing staff?
- What level of cash reserves do we carry and are we too risk averse in that respect?
- Does HTC truly represent value for money or would renting facilities be more cost effective?
- What are they doing to attract external 'investment' (donations)?
