    Was he making a point, Dave?

    I thought he was just espousing hackneyed phraseology?

    Plenty of Chairman have interfered in the past and will do so in the future. Occasionally, but admittedly rarely, it does some good. One thing is for certain is that none of the traditional old school managers you mentioned like it. So it's a bit like asking a turkey if it likes Xmas - hence a non story

    A really 'sit up and take notice' angle on this would be if the likes of Vincent Tan and McAnthony, thought Rahic was out of order, i.e. those who have often found it hard not to be the centre of the club and have occasionally 'interfered'

    Richmond did it with us - we only moaned when it went pear shaped after the Jewell fall out

    Incidentally, it's just as much 'interfering' when Chairmen moan in public about how poor the team has been etc as it is when they suggest a players should be chosen or one can be just as bad as the other depending on the context

    None of what I've written means to say that I'm ignorant of the failings of Edin including any interference - I'm just amazed it's seen as such an outrage

    Exactly. Everyone can now clearly see what the players and managers have to deal with in Edin, it's so unacceptable it defies belief.

    For the good of the club, Edin will soon be gone and we can get back to normal with football men leading the football club - as it should have been all along.

    I very much doubt Edin would have me working for him, he likes his own way and doesnt like his employees questioning him.

    Look at the exodus of leaders and non-yes men types.

    Prior to Hopkin arriving, we had zero leaders.

    You can't deny it.

    Nice perspective. I agree with your last line. I do think the appointment of Collins and a lack of attention to a fitness coach was far more of a reason for our decline, which of course he's responsible for

    As we're seeing a soon a manager stands up to him, he interfere's less (similar occurred when Grayson was around and we hardly heard from him). Let's be honest the main interference occurred during McCall's time, where neither trusted each other and hence that's going to wrongly get a Chairman 'putting his nose in' more than he should

    My point is, it's more a less a thing of the past. A very painful lesson though
