Anyone want to replace him at the AFLPA?

Wouldn't be surprised to see our own Ameet Bains interviewing for the job.

So much for former big-mouth CEO's, Matt Finnis looks like a good get. He has a legal background, but I am not sure of his commercial background. His negotiating experience at AFLPA should be a big help.

We wish him success - we sure need it!

Does that mean Nettlefold has gone for good? Do I open the champagne?

Serious? Most lawyers have zero commercial nous. All they know about is risk mitigation and arse covering. I hope Finnis is one of the few better than that.

Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

That's exactly the problem! Have you seen the bunch of dropkicks we have in government? Most of them couldn't get a real job if they tried - though obviously a $200,000 a year sinecure where you don't even have to look at the financials is about par for the course.
