I completely agree about their experience

I'd be totally at a loss if Gary Hetherington turned out to be on the panel choosing our next coach. Would your company go to a rival company in order to appoint a new CEO?
As you have implied, Mr O'Connor has barely put a foot wrong and has brought a much needed professional approach to the club so far, so perhaps I should trust him on this.
I still find it very strange to invite someone from outside the club to have such an input for such an important job.

I don't really think it would be Hertherington either, but the point I was trying to make is that he does seem to be roundly liked and well thought of in RL circles. We will wait and see what this panel consists of if we ever get told, but I am more confident knowing that it isn't just going to be a case of SOC, Alex Bonney and whoever else plumping for whoever has the nicest CV or the best personal statement. I now have more faith that the next coach will have to be someone who has impressed in RL even if it is beginning to smack a little like Coach-Factor.

I suppose it may become clear when we find out who it is.
Good luck with you future by the way.
Cheers by the way.. my post probably implied I was younger than I actually am or have been in this job a little less longer than I have
All the best to you too in whatever it is you do too. From your posts I could sometimes swear you are a barrister or something like that.. (I mean that in the most complimentary sense by the way).
