glastonred Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ernie Arathoon is one of the new board members, having been an honorary director for some time now. Does anybody know anything about him? How did he get involved with City, and has he always been a fan? I presume he's a businessman, and perhaps has a few pennies to invest in the club. If so he's very welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Local businessman (owned a few different pubs and other businesses as far as I know) and a fan who's made a few bob for himself (not on SL's scale). He approached SL and invested some money four or five years ago and became as a result an associate director. He's since been asked to oversee the academy and done well at that. I imagine he offers the fans on the street perspective as well as a lot of dedication - to come forward and offer cash and time shows a lot of willing.
