Personally, I see that as a minus, not a plus. Wouldn't it be better to get a fresh pair of eyes. Not that I'm blaming chambers for anything, but he has been at the club throughout all this mess. Outside of sport, if a big company is in trouble you rarely see them promoting from within for the high up roles. They bring in external talent in the hope that it will freshen things up.
On the other hand someone a rung or 2 down from the top can often see what is going wrong because they know the organisation so well. I guess hindsight will show whether he was the right appointment, One major caveat being that a bit like Karl F we don’t actually know what his responsibilities are so he could end up being blamed for things that aren’t his fault (I can’t say whether that was the case with KF as I don’t know what his responsibilities are/were).
