Is it just me who feels uneasy about this ?

I dunno, but I sort of want my CEO to be obviously very clever, sharp-suited, preferably with a background running various organisations, and ideally with all sorts of useful connections.

Hmm

I wonder if John Bastian is going to take over Rush's old job?

I had a feeling that Bastian may be heading for Sale, they are restructuring their scouting set up, but that was before I saw the Rush announcement.

Now there's a shock. Not.

hmm Director of Rugby or something like that maybe but CEO? It's not a job I would have thought he would have been suited too.

It's just jobs for the boys. Rush has no commercial background so obviously he was ideally placed to become CEO. McManus is just filling the place with his boys, whether or not they are experienced or appropriate for the job.

Ridiculous appointment. He may be good and well respected at what he did previously but this? Our Chairman has completely lost the plot. If, as per the announcement, he actually believes the tripe he's spouted about Rush's experience being ideal for the role, then he's deluded.

Rush is a rugby man - he should stick to rugby.

McManus is a Finance guy - he should stick to Finance.

Wilkin is a back rower - he should stick to being a back rower

A CEO needs to be a commercially astute, strategic thinker with expertise in every area. We may as well have appointed St Bernard.

I am even more worried about our future with our Chairman's current antics.
