exiledrhino: The criticism of JJB is beyond belief frankly, and completely unwarranted. Fair enough, you might not like him as a pundit, but has anyone in recent years championed the club or been more loyal?
I dare say if he looked and spoke a different way he wouldn't get half the criticism he does.
As for experience, he's been on the board of directors for the last couple of years, has held numerous sporting and other roles within the club, and has a fantastic and experienced team around him. I'm not saying it will work out perfectly, but that's far more experience than many peers and I wish him all the best.
I also find the comments regarding the club being stagnant strange. I think we too often associate the success of the first team with the success of the clubs. Has anyone been to the stadium recently? Or read the articles about record breaking commercial partnerships. Aside from on field performances, the clubs probably never been stronger, thanks to GH and Caddick's leadership. Let's hope JJB continues in the same vein.
