Its a far right media tactic, create outrage for no reason to fuel a bigger agenda, my intrigue is what yours is?
What a bizarre comment. Far right? Is that because I am daring to ask what has happened to Cottey's and Adams' input via the Board?
"Create outrage", what on earth are you talking about? Dear God!

Chris Adams is regularly seen at the county ground. Tony Cottey’s father is still alive, so am guessing time is spent with him. 18 months is a very short time to grieve for a loved one !!

Just to clarify, i never called you far right just its a similar tactic used for said media. To me reading your original post you were trying to create speculation about Adams, i assumed (possibly incorrectly) this was fuel to add support for your desire to rid the club of its committees and history and to replace them with a club owner.

Certainly not. You thought wrong.
My primary purpose is to find out what role Tony Cottey and Chris Adams still have as invited Board Members. I am told that Cottey has had no role for the last 16 months, so what of Adams?
There is no mention of any Sussex-related news on his Twitter page and hasn't been for a long time. So again, I question whether he still has a say on the Board and like Cottey has stepped down, perhaps, some time ago.
Irritatingly, I have mislaid Adams email address, otherwise, I would contact him direct with these questions.

He has a big say on all signings its a committee decision. This led to Harms becoming quite irate with Jon Filby when he bought it up asking whether Farbs would have the final say or not.

18 months is a very short time to grieve for a loved one !!Kevin, Believe me, I am very aware of the grieving process. From my experience, getting involved in new projects or keeping oneself busy can be an important part of the healing. Given how irregularly the Sussex Cricket Board meet up, throwing yourself into the Club you love and were a fundamental part of for 18 years, both as a hugely successful player and then as a member of the off-field commercial team, would be a good thing? Anyway, I hope Cotts is through the worst of his grieving now. I note his Shoreham Beach ice-cream outlet, Cotts&Linz, is going strong so I am delighted for his success. www.cottsandlinz.co.uk

I was quite encouraged when Adams and Cottey joined the cricket committee, however, the ease with which it happened had me wondering how much it would actually mean. I’ve heard that the cricket committee have hardly met over the last year or so, including, quite alarmingly, during the ill-fated Carson/Salisbury incident.

Dare I say, the Adams/Cottey Board appointment was merely a Club PR exercise to keep supporters happy with little actual substance going forward.

It might be worth listening to the interview with Jon Filby Wicked. He explained what the Cricket Committee does quite clearly and the importance of it, Cricketers making Cricket decisions.

Probably Fiona Richards? Sorry I meant that Gunner is on the elected club board, but I think he might be on the cricket committee too.

Derbyshire have lost a couple of good ones which possibly invalidates what I’m about to write, but they’ve made some strong signings in Pat Brown, David LLoyd and Anuerin Donald. Those three are exactly the kind of player I would have liked at Sussex. Good ages and something to prove. It goes to show that signing opportunities are , or at least were, out there
Edit: And they’ve got Samit Patel (and amir)! And they’re looking to sign a couple more!
