You can't assume the club hasn't gone through the correct process because you don't agree with the selection.
When Bolton came in, he wouldn't dare choose anyone other than Murphy for captain.
He couldn't give it to Simpson, because it should've been done before and he is/was too old. How he is still going today is remarkable.
He couldn't give it to Cripps, Doc because they were too young and not half the players they are today.
So he could he have given it too?
As for the 'process', i'm dubious of that anyway.
Previously the process has been exposed from a former player, and former assistant. Votes for the leadership were given by players and calculated by the coaching staff....who proceeded to shift players in and out of the leadership group as they saw fit, ignoring the voting 'process'.
The club has a history in 'choosing' who they want, overriding the players and in Micks case, the coach as well.
Why do you think this time is any different? There has been shifty's going on with the last 2 coaches, why not now?
