Football Department Review

[PaulP]

In fairness to the board the review wasn't into David Teague. The media have made it so - which is the bit our board missed when they launched it. They've created a pressure-cooker environment for Teague from that point on. An unsafe work environment from a mental health perspective.

Nice way to start your presidency.

Yes, I recall MLG saying it wasn't a review of Teague, but once the rather predictable media onslaught started, the club has not come to his aid in any way. They've just hung him out to dry. In the past, MLG has said a few things which turned out to be untrue (e.g Bolton will coach out season 2019, 2 weeks before he was sacked). I'm not usually a cynic, but sometimes the temptation of a famous Claud Cockburn quote (“Believe nothing until it has been officially denied.”) is hard to resist.
