Feathered his own nest nicely under Tornante and then seriously took his eye off the ball - hence several years of stagnation.
There were some here who "told you so"!
Good riddance.
Have you got something against work BTC?
Catlin was remunerated by Tornante, he was hardly ‘feathering his own nest’.
The reason for our inability to gain promotion is that the team manager failed to achieve it. Most commentators would have expected Jackett to succeed, so the appointment was not controversial. It was also not his decision alone was it? Having been appointed, it’s up to the CEO to support the manager and Catlin did.
As for the community model, it will only work if we adopt the same approach as the Bundesliga, which I would support. Until then, we are in as good hands as anyone else, probably better.
