Quote bren2k="bren2k"I think that's simplistic. As stakeholders in a sport that appears to be, at best, standing still, I think it's reasonable for people to have a view on how the man responsible for the health and welfare of the game is performing. Perhaps basing it around his salary is an error - but his stewardship of the game is certainly subject to scrutiny.'"
It is simplistic and if pressed I be very much in the "lets have a new man in charge camp", but would this petition have been start d if it had not been for the releasing of salary details?
It's not that difficult to find out the highest paid directors salary, you can get that from the financial statements, hence, I knew his pay was circa £252k in th previous year.
The game is going backwards, there is no doubt. I have looked at some of the comments on that petition, some are reasonable but some are just petty minded and a couple are plain insulting. Is that the really going to be taken seriously?
Personally I think the position of CEO has a live span of approx 5 years. Beyond that, if there is not progress then it's time for change AS familiarity breeds Contempt.
The creator of the petition no doubt has the best interest at heart. It's timing, shortly after Wood's salary was published is poor and will be pointed to question its credibility.
