Garbil,
No oblique swipes.
I've said it all clearly before - I do not rate him.
Now, I will await the barrage of abuse!
Yes - he has "turned it around"; that was a bit of a no-brainer though!
The relief felt by those who justifiably felt shafted by the previous management has blinkered some folks to the difference between mere competence and great leadership.
We keep ignoring opportunity cost.
Yes, the sp has turned around, but how high should it have reached by now / would have reached under great or even very good leadership?
However, I am extremely confident that what I would call success is not too far way.
