Sadly no but he wishes he was! The original point I was attempting to make was one around a
single issue of how we presented the clubs position to the wider world. Some respondents - albeit the minority - have some sympathy with that view but the majority do not. In democracies the majority rule.
Strange as it may seem I actually do have faith in the way MC is tackling the big challenges we face and there was no direct or indirect criticism applied nor intended. I had thought the offer he made to run the club for a month was said with a degree of irony/humour etc. hence the acceptance.
MC has set out a clear path for the club and he has support for that including me. There will always be aspects where other views will be aired.
I have written to MC privately and in large part reiterated the above but conveyed the view that any meetings where they cause concern, humour, wrath etc was not the intention and should therefore not go ahead.
In Old Blighty's post there was a suggestion of using people to assist MC and I think he refers to the concept of a think tank. I was on similar lines - trying to offer some concrete support to someone with a big task. Others may feel they could bring skills sets to support not usurp MC.
New Zealand looks attractive to me now!
