If you want you can take my following tip into account:
first of all, prove your loyality with activity and not leaving the clan. Trust me, he will remember that (so do I btw, with those who stayed here after all). Furthermore: your board needs a Co-Ldr or at least someone as an board moderator. Doing that all alone as the Ldr is nearly impossible, cause you got always things you have to care about, and one thing less is always good in that case ;)
Show him that you are engaged to help the clan. Send him a pm with possible improvements to make your clan more stable and secure, or open a new thread and let others decide what is good and what's bad.
Those all are small things for themselves, but every Ldr will recognize it and I know that you'd be a great Co-Ldr mocro ;)
