and I agree with you too nuffs, if I risk tearing my nuts on that fence...
Roops went too far in giving Tyler all the credit (and that has been a major problem with Tyler too.. taking all the credit) but we have to acknowledge that the turnaround came on his watch - Hill (as much as he did do), for example, had ample opportunity to get some of these things in place, and never did - to give all the credit to one man is too much, but do dismiss it as serendipity is similarly too simplistic.
the info I get is that Tyler stuffed nearly as much up as he got right - he turned off as many sponsors as he turned on, and he put off as many people as he got onside
but the fact remains, we have had a remarkable turnaround in the 18months or so he was in charge. can Corco and the NewcRL boys keep that going? Only time will tell, but one thing you have to give them, they can count (and play politics) better than Tyler can.
... and they are going to have full control of the board for at least the next 14 months.
what price 2 NewcRL board members being deleted, and then the casual vacancies being filled by the same guys?
