Why did it take so long for Lord Coe to leave Nike?

Looks like he was hoping the dust would settle and everyone would say what a fine upstanding chap he was and of course it wasn't a conflict of interest and of course he should keep trousering the cash.

But in fact the opposite reaction came about and he has very reluctantly done the right thing due to external pressures. Which rather negates the messaging behind doing the right thing as he definitely didn't want to do it.

Never liked him. Ovett was a much nicer chap.

rubbish mokei


more like 2ook per annum

As an ex MP he is used to be paid large sums of money from the private sector even if there is a conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest.

Anyone in a full time paid position in important institutions should NEVER be allowed to take money from external sources.

Including MP's, FIFA, FA, IOCC, etc etc.

I don't think he is under the Nike influence because he took so long to resign. A Nike follower would just do it.

The only example ever of where the phrase 'end of!' is justified after the first post

Nike... Just deny it.
