Firstly he is a football man, with actual experience of running a club and achieving success with them. He also appears to be from outside JR's usual circle so should be able to offer fresh perspective which could be invaluable to the club. It also offers someone in a proper leadership position when the Radford's are in Portugal.
The rest of the board should be absolutely applauded for thier efforts with the club, but none of them have the football experience that Sharpe has, so he adds value to club decision making at strategy. You never know, it may be that JR finally realised that he needed football people around him after seeing what happened when he sacked Flitcroft after consulting the current boardroom?
The risk is of course that he and Coughlin clash. Hopefully this doesn't happen, but if it does then I would expect JR to back Sharpe as the club need a long term vision and strategy, which can only be achieved through continuity at board/director level.
I'm really excited now. Hopefully the next month or two will see some ins and outs on the playing side and we can enter the next season fully prepared as opposed to the shambles of this year.

Like everyone says and knows, things haven’t been the same since the Radfords moved to Portugal.
I would think he is CEO in all but job title...

With lots of clubs releasing players due to financial uncertainty, our own stability could allow us to pick off some very good players for this level. Good signs for us, at least.

there's quite a few stags fans that seem to think theres some sinister motive whenever the club does something. very strange
