I understand Mr. Rowley accepted that the appointment of Neil Young was a mistake. Well, there are mistakes that have little impact and there are mistakes that impact hugely. In the context of Alty FC this mistake has cost us a relegation, lord knows how much in paying out contracts, made us look stupid in the media, split the fans from the board and torn a massive hole in the playing budget. That is why its time for you to resign Mr. Rowley. Please.
He did say that was a mistake (and Young is a convenient scapegoat, no longer being present at the club, not that he said that), and also gave a more forceful and plausible defence for the NLP journalist taking his words out of context - he was being questioned in the car while being "pissed off". I am prepared to accept that in the absence of any new evidence to the contrary.
However, he didn't speak as well as Bill Waterson or Mike Adams, who both spoke eloquently and with good humour, as did Ian Watmore who moderated the meeting.
There is also an awful lot in the strategic review document to go through - much more than was mentioned at the meeting, such as an artificial pitch - so, on balance, I wouldn't call for his resignation now, but hope Mr Rowley and the board can steer this through, for the sake of stability, without necessarily taking on all its suggestions.
I have come to that conclusion in the course of writing this post, although the fan base's reaction may make his position untenable.
