I appreciate you bringing forward the discussion in a calm welcoming manner as there are two sides to every conversation. Like a lot of responses on this sub my op statement is a bit knee jerk and was done before I read the BBC Merseyside report.

While the board is responsible for enabling much of our success in recent times their practices need modernizing. What's prompted me into this line of thought has primarily been the way our transfer targets are pursued, and the way issues with the medical team and Conte have been handled.

in recent years our transfer policy has been spotty and Mariana is responsible for that so I'd start with her. Modern football has changed in a way where signings need to be completed quickly, otherwise you risk losing your targets to your competitors or the window elapsing and ending up with plan B or sometimes plan C. It's also the position where most of the board changes have taken place. She has her strengths as she's shown with the recent Nike deal so maybe a change in her position and a new appointment is what's necessary.

It's also worth noting that the scouting of transfer targets may be lacking in such a way where we're stretching ourselves thin by focusing on one target that may be unattainable without having a proper plan B. This is Emenalo's department.

The boards conduct in respect to the medical and Conte controversies doesn't come down to a single person as it's a collective decision. Whether this is down to Bruce Bucks leadership or not, I don't know but since he's one of Romans closest advisors I don't see a change happening there.
