On sunday for the first time, he told me straight that he comes from a rugby backround and is here to do a job, and that not liking football dont matter. I disagreed with him however saying he sould have a passion for our club he just simply shuruged his shoulders at me.

At the end of the day, football is a business nowadays as long as does his job I couldn't care less what background he comes from.

Maybe it's a good thing having a non football man at the top, especially someone who doesn't have shares in the club or any previous links, i.e. he's not a fan.

Having a guy there who sees this as just a job might be a good thing when it comes to the tough decisions that need to be made, we've not had much professionalism at the top for a while.

I always thought that he maintained that he liked football and has been a season ticket holder for a while?

Does TG have a football background? Has he had any interest in the sport previous to his involvement with us ?

I would think he had as his son was given a trial by us, that's primarily how he became involved I believe.
