As far as I am concerned, TS took over the club, admitting he knew nothing about football.
Though he could run a business.
That is exactly what he has done and we still are in a LOT better position than when he took over.
Some people are never satisfied.

Agree entirely.

Let us say an airline pilot, had an exemplary record for 8 or 9 years and during that time took all the plaudits, winning pilot of the year on numerous occasions.

But then there follows a period when his abilities have started to decline, amid reports of erratic behaviour, puzzling decisions and a sharp increase in bumpy landings.


Would you stick by him because he did well in previous years?

More importantly would you buy a ticket to get on a plane he was flying?

Excellent point.

That's why I wouldn't buy a season ticket, even if I didnt have the working restrictions that make it impossible.

That very real risk, under TS stewardship, of potential mortal peril simply isn't worth the risk.
He's lucky I chance it on the few occasions I'm able 😆

It depends on whether there were flights with alternate pilots available.

I'd take heed of the fact that flights in this particular aircraft had suffered numerous near fatal misses before the current pilot took over.

I'd also bear in mind that I was contemplating taking a flight in a world in which numerous aircraft had crashed spectacularly after other pilots had ignored safety checks and pushed aircraft beyond their capabilities.

On that basis, I might well opt for the odd bit of turbulence and the occasional bumpy landing.

The reason this recent charter plane got into difficulty is because he hired the wrong pilot twice, and the best pilot we had left because he got fed up of going the cheaper route all the time.

I agree that hindsight showed that the appointment of Taylor was a mistake. I think it's impossible to say whether the LR decision was right or wrong at this time (I appreciate that others will disagree, which is fair enough).

The thing about appointing people into any role is that that is it isn't a precise science. You can look at a person's record, take in references and see how they perform in interview, but it's impossible to know whether they will succeed when in role.

The financial means of Rotherham United are what they are. It must be frustrating and tiring to run or manage the club when living and working with that and the unrealistic expectations of supporters.
