It is said that a non-executive director who has served on a board more than 9 years can no longer be considered independent.
Celtic's non-exec directors have been on the board since
Dermot Desmond - 1995 (29 years)
Tom Allison - 2001 (23 years)
Peter Lawwell - 2003 (21 years), 18 years as CEO (5 years is best practice)
Brian Wilson - 2005 (19 years)
Sharon Brown - 2016 (8 years)
Brian Rose - appointed July 2023
A collection of DD yes men (& woman) who do as they're told.
Listening to the excellent Celtic Exchange podcasts on 30 years since Fergus and the takeover (one with Matt McGlone and one with David Low) and found a comment from Low very interesting. He said that Fergus surrounded himself on the board with people who were not only very clever and established in their respective fields, but they were people who would tell him when they thought he was wrong and as such he didn't always get his own way.
Hopefully the rumours (as per Roger Mitchell on X) that DD is having a clearout are true
"I was told by 2 different sources that DD is going to have a total clear-out of the Board and Csuite. He’s had enough they said."
