Only choice in my opinion is to look to speak to him face to face whilst he is in the directors box on Saturday and let your feelings known. We are being treated like mugs and need to air our frustrations, whether individually or on mass on Saturday we need to push back.

Amongst the list of top 30 leadership failings this one stood out to me in the context of what is happening at TUFC...

#13 The lack of a well-defined power of decision - men who SUCCEED reach decisions promptly and change them if at all, very slowly.

Men who FAIL, reach decisions, if at all, very slowly and change them frequently and quickly. Indecision and procrastination are twin brothers. Kill off this pair before they completely 'hog tie you to the treadmill of FAILURE'

Harrop, Osborne and co seem to be demonstrating high doses of this leadership failing - Kevin Nicholson was released nearly 3 weeks ago, it is hideous to leave such a key position open for so long. Perhaps Harrop is struggling to get any time in Osborne's diary with all his other commitments? From the outside it does not look as though a speedy resolution to this problem has been top of any agenda.

SURELY we will see an appointment today?

PS #17 on the leadership failings list also seemed very relevant...'Wrong selection of associates in business'
