Many supporters, myself included, were rather sceptical when Keith took over, but he has proved to be a stabilising force over his 4 year tenure, ensuring that our Club survives today, and is in a position where it can be taken forward by the new owners.

I already see a deal of scepticism regarding the new owners, and in some ways I can understand this, but I think we have to give them time to prove themselves in the way that Keith has done before we become too judgemental.

And I'll third it.

Thank you Keith (& Mrs Cousins for letting him do it ;) ), for all your hard work as Chairman, you did NOT fail, you did a fine job of steadying the ship through troubled times. Good luck for the future.

well done KC and thanks.
it took balls to walk into our little club and save the day. making difficult choices to save money and getting the club on a tight budget to ensure we didn't end up like we did again.
also much respect for sticking to your guns on clare and knight issues. looked like if anyone wanted a piece of you, you bit back twice as hard.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Thank you Keith for keeping this club going and saving us in 2006.

Only spoke to him once but he was a real gent. I share the sentiments of everyone else who has posted prior to this. Thanks Keith for everything you have done for the club.
