Could well be buddy. If Elstone stays - not impossible - and with Kenwright staying, the conditions for a change of manager are there.
Love ya mate, but you are wrong, Elstone, BFS and Walsh will all be gone before we start spending in the summer
To think that replacing someone who has been incompetent as a CEO would make them nervous about changing dof and manager also, exactly why?
If Elstone is deemed rightly as incompetent, then what effect - destabilising would replacing him have such as it would prevent another change or two at dof and manager level?
IF he was a very respected, competent one, then yup could see your point, but he isn't, he's the opposite, and him leaving i'd dare say would increase the chances of us bringing in a decent dof as they wouldn't have to answer to a clueless suntanned biff
Changing too many things is only bad if you are changing them for A. worse things, or B. If what you are changing has provided stability for the good.
Elstone has and is crap at his job, the stability he provided was a stream of stable dithering and incompetence.
