How so? To be honest that article doesn’t say a whole lot of anything. I do hope they retain n the current staff though as they seem to be getting results. But I haven’t seen any indication that they plan on making wholesale changes for the sake of it.
Just this line from Fale, mainly: "It looks like I'll be the one primarily in the driver's seat for us."
Everything I've seen and read him say so far makes him sound like nothing more than a grandstanding politician (and yeah, i do know he is a politician). Already during this negotiation process it's always been him stirring the pot, making accusations, leaking where they're at in negotiations, etc. A lot (or all) of that would be intentional but personally it leaves a foul taste in my mouth, that political tactic of 'got to stay in the news to get the votes.'
As Iafeta said above, this guy is continually breaking the laws of stupidity with his comments (some of the stuff he's said makes me think he posts on this forum under the username zeromisstackles
).
After it finally looks like we have some competent guys at board level, they'll probably get shifted (shafted) in favour of numpties with no idea and we'll back to the same old, same old again.
I'm no big Eric Watson fan, and I definitely don't think selling to the ARL is a good idea. I also know that any new owner will bring uncertainty and pros and cons, but man, I'm not seeing many pros here. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.
