And the boy Colin Stewart. What is the procedure adopted by ArabTrust that he ends up on the Board and what is his remit?

 There's a large amount of boxes that any ArabTRUST associate director has to tick to even be considered. The criterion was revised circa 2011 to include such things as, if I remember correctly, educated to degree level, must've served on ArabTRUST's Board for at least a year, must have this, must have that. There's was a mandatory and desirable list (one desirable was that they should live in or close to Dundee).

The rules on who fits the bill were then voted on and approved at the following ArabTRUST AGM.  I felt, and was vociferous about it at the time, that the rules aren't conducive to somebody who would know what it's like to be skint but still wants to get a supporter bus up to Inverness to see United on a cold wet Wednesday night. I don't think your archetypal Arab will never be considered for the position, you know, somebody with an opinion on the price of a pie or ticket cost.

The remit is to represent the ArabTRUST Board's will to the United Board (who in turn have a remit to represent the views and will of their members). The AD is pretty much a ​liaison, but there's enough ambiguity that the role can be molded to whatever suits on both sides.

It is not a requirement that the ArabTRUST Associate Director be educated to Degree level.

Same goes for anyone from The Fed?

As a sideline I see the Daily Ranger saying Elvis has left the building (or is in the cream puff from 3 years ago).

Thompson has apparently said he is staying in the boardroom regardless of how the Jets takeover goes (at today's presser) according to the Tully.

Assuming it's accurate then no change at the top any time soon

 
Maybe it's in the wording "staying in the boardroom" could he mean as a Director  ratber than Chairman ?
