I have, at various times, been frustrated and unhappy as a K's fan. But this is truly the most embarrassed i've felt.

Ben Flatt.

Remarkably, this terse statement from the board does not mention that Ben Flatt is managing director of Grand Openings Ltd. Perhaps it was hoped that people would not notice that this was a former shirt sponsor who, halfway through a two-year contract, walked out on K's due to disagreements with the club hierarchy. This was ingratitude of the highest order after his company got national exposure during the FA Cup run.

Elements within the board said they'd never have Flatt anywhere near the club again - and here we are.

He is friends with a current director, Yiorgios, with whom he fell out. Presumably they are now close again.

The statement says he will become a "non-executive director" - as usual, we must read between the lines: he hasn't bought shares. At least that means the club will have avoided undergoing due diligence.

In the board's last letter to KBH, they stated: "As Mark has previously advised you, we are currently in discussions with new investors with considerable business and financial expertise to support and enhance the board and we remain committed to taking the club forward in this way."

Oh dear.
