For those interested, the Lakers have just been bought for US$ 10 billion and the discussion stated that until they get the best people in senior positions at the club they won’t be in the top echelons of clubs despite their size and status.
Similar to how we seem to be, not the right people in control, draw a comparison with Man Utd as well, big club poorly run for years with important jobs given to nice blokes and cronies , not big achievers. A lesson to be learnt from a different sport maybe, employ the best people who have reached the top elsewhere to achieve success.
