He was also ultimately in charge of the last UK world cup, both its successful operation and it's minimal legacy. And in many ways he was pulling a lot of the strings in the Lewis era, especially when Lewis went part time.
He's by no means got an impeccable track record but it's also not just remorseless failures.
I have seen no proof of his fingers in the processes as a positive you suggest.
Everything he is involved in seems mediocre and plodding.
Quite honestly I do not understand what people see in him.
I have met many like him though who talk a good game.
