Paul Downton sacked
« on: April 08, 2015, 05:07:20 PM »

Thought this would perhaps be quite a big discussion and bring some relief to quite a few people ;).

Not much to discuss so far it seems.

MD post to be replaced by new role director of England cricket. Looks like a more cricket focussed role. Downtown was out of his depth having been working in the city for 20-odd years.

Cant see this making any difference to the KP situation but as many of us have said on here we need a clear out and start again
Graves is living up to his billing as a no nonsence boss
Moores needs to go too regardless of if we win against west indies

Seems like Graves means business! Can't help but think that this, like removing Cook immediately before the WC, is counter productive with the team already being on tour, surely must draw players and coaches focus off the job in hand a little? Other than that I think it's a good move.

Could'nt agree more northernboy..Cook got sacked,fine he was not the right player for one dayers..but a month before the world cup when we had 6 months to prepare?
That can only be down to the management...

This is so confusing... Somebody help me along. There's a Chief Executive, there's a Managing Director, there's a Chairman and God knows what else. Who reports to whom ?
