You give the board too much credit. If it’s just a case of giving it to Mick as he’s a safe pair of hands why offer it to Paul Cook first?

I’d say it’s more likely we are only offering six months to start with because we are already budgeting to pay Harris and Livermore until June 2022 and so we don’t want to commit to someone for another 2/3 years until we’ve finished paying for Harris.

I think they’ve given it to the first manager willing to work on such a short term contract.
