Quote ="Chairman Miaow"So it doesn't matter that he's completely out of his depth, as long as he's "one of our own"? I don't want to pick a fight, as I agree with you on most points you make on here, but simply putting up with such people in vital positions at our club is a recipe for mediocrity - and that's excatly what we have been receiving for years. Surely it's time for a new broom at the club.'"
Couldn't agree more; we've had our expectations lowered to such an extent that we accept senior exec's taking stewardship of the club on the basis that they a) like RL and b) can breathe and walk at the same time. Mr Elston seems like a nice lad, totally out of his depth - going forward, that's simply not good enough.
I wouldn't get too exercised about it though; if our new owners have achieved any measure of legitimate business success, they'll quickly work out for themselves who can and who can't cut the mustard - there'll be a cull, that's almost a given.
