Maybe Thirkill will be a little more hands on in his Chairman's role than we originally thought.
Maybe. A couple of other possibilities…
1. Thirkill sees potential in Myler (as Chris suggested) and although this is a high profile position, it is relatively low stakes from a financial perspective. Tough gig to lead any organisation when so much of your authority is derived from somebody else though.
2. Put in an experienced COO under Myler, perhaps someone approaching the end of their career who isn’t too fussed about burnishing their credentials for another position if the wage is right. They can interpret, anticipate and implement Myler’s vision (like a rugby league Reginald Jeeves), fall on any grenades (like a Simon Grix of business administration but with more intent) and make sure Myler is the one in the limelight when things go well (like Peter Taylor did for Brian Clough).
